Is it worth buying an injen cold air intake for the 2.0 ss/sc? I have a K & N filter with the air box cover off and the box cut half way up. Will i see any gains in hp with the injen or should i save my money?

 

minor gains maybe 1-2 whp

 

yep...air box mod if FTL!

 

ANy benifit from the injen? Should i keep my stock intake? The only problem i have with it is that my meth nozzle loosens up alot.

 

Ive heard the actualy K&N intake is better than the injen... i dont see how there will be a difference, the k&n is cheaper...

Also heard injen rates there gains at the flywheel, k&n rates at wheels?

 

I only have a k&n filter on my stock piping.

 

I would replace the stock piping with the k&n piping... Its what i have, love the sound, i notice a difference driving as well... car seems, less congested...

 

Looks, smoother piping (which is where you're going to get your slight gains from), and that fact that you don't have Frankenstein in yout bumper anymore...

I definately notice a differance in low end performance with my CAI on and when it's off because I'm taking it to the dealership...

 

Still under warrenty?

 

Will it make my IAT's any lower with the CAI?

 

Not too much.... You would really need a heat exchanger for that... c/x makes the most efficient, price and performance..

What are u running that you would need your IATs low?

 

I have not noticed a difference, other than in sound. I have the Injen btw.

 

my car? yes it is...

When it goes into the dealership the CAI comes off and the stock box goes back on (this is why I hate the air box mod so much...unless you have a seperate air box it's impossible to go back to stock and a new air box is as much as a CAI). This why they can't blame issues on the CAI. Came in handy recently because my Coupler in my supercharger is making noise and they are replacing the entire supercharger...

Now take it off and go back to stock and then you'll notice a differance in the way it pulls below 2000-2500 rpm's in 2nd and 3rd. I used to think the same thing until I took mine off and put the stock box back on for the first time....

 

I have the cobra heat exchanger and meth injection. Im running a 2.8, 60's. I just dont know if its worth the getting the intake when i should probably buy some motor mounts since i just broke my downpipe.

 

Deffinatly not... you need as much dense air as you can get to run ALL of those effectively... Youll probly notice the same gain either way... But i dont see mounts as a necessity, Your engine needs air, and more of it.

btw i dont think you can get you IATs any lower considering you have 2 of the most efficient cooling mods i can think of ...

 

it makes the sc sound much better

 

i noticed a jump in throttle response with my injen, not to mention better gas mileage and better sound. intakes are worth it.
