can anyone tell me how well the Hahn cool ram cold air intake works. is it a good buy or not

 

hahn makes soo products, their intake is good, it sits a lower then the stock airbox, in between the wheel well and the front bumper, if you plan on driving in a raining place with puddles, think about somthng else unless ur CAREFUL lol

 

The intake should not suck up water unless you drive through a foot + of standing water....

 

I know, I was stateing that if conditions were like floody lol but yeah, you should have no problem, its a great product

 

crap i like tearing through puddles. lol guess i gotta stop that unless i get one of those valves that dont let the water go into the intake.

 

I just installed my Hahn intake on Monday. So far i've only noticed the sound difference and slightly better gas mileage. Sounds awesome and looks great but I don't think I'll notice much of a power gain untill i get it tuned.

 

Of course you wont because of the computer adjusting itself with the mod installed. No more than 260/260. But I do love the sound and look.

 

ok cool how long does it usually take to get to you after ordering

 

thanks the Aaron my car now runs AWESOME....i have almost every Hahn part out now cept the exhaust which im strongly considering now

 

I believe mine was shipped out on a Friday morning and got to my door on a Tuesday, so I would say around 4-5 business days, depending on where you live.

 

ok cool that means next week i cant wait!

 

I know were you can get 3" mandrel bent 304 stainless exhaust with a stainless Borla or Magnaflow muffler for $405. PM me if you want to know where.

 

can someone explain to me whats with this computer adjusting itself and only letting 260hp/260tq

 

09sportredSS. i installed the intake on my car as well. Mine took 3 weeks to come from the day i ordered because they are soo filled with orders for the TC as well as other products. It is a good product and the sound is nice between accel and decel. The learn down feature controls the car to maintain 260hp and 260ft lbs no matter what bolt ons you have. that is why sometimes you see 18lbs of boost and sometimes you see 12lbs, your still making 260/260 but the computer is controlling it

 

Nope they make awsome products
And if you buy a hydro shield from injen and you'll be ok

 

alright cool thanks, so the only way to get more than 260/260 is to get it tuned or is there a different way?

 

Nope you have to tune it!!! It will be the best $300-500 you will spend on this car trust me you will gain up to 55 whp and 80+ wtrq.

 

that sounds good i cant wait

 

You have any sound clips? I've been debating ordering the magnaflow setup, just not sure atm. Dont like drones while driving @ cruising speed

 

I have not yet received my catback. I just installed my Hahn catted DP and the sound is amazingly quiet considering the two monster stock cats. It will probably not drone very badly at all. Chambered mufflers like Flowmasters tend to do this because of how they are put together. It will probably be pretty loud at WOT because no resonator and a strait through 5" round muffler. I personally like the way Borla mufflers sound. More agressive at WOT than magnaflow, but about the same cruising volume. I will post up clips in about a week or so when I get my catback installed.

 

Hahn has seen 15-17 whp with the cool ram with his PPC which is stand-alone? I don't buy it at all........so did Hahn use one of his shop tunes to get the power?? I think so but Hahn states with the PPC... which I do not believe. Plus, a company that does nothing but intakes\cai and such, like K&N, will not make a kit that does not make more then a few hp, and they do not have a CAI for the SS\TC........ so that tells you something right there..... I really think hahns dyno numbers are from a custom Hahn tune not with the PPC .. Also, if you look, Hahn is getting those numbers on the dyno after 11-14 runs!!!!

Plus everyone from 98% of the rest of the forum including Hahn... are posting STD, corrected numbers, not the SAE real numbers that a few of us are posting.....STD reads 6-10 more whp then actual....

 

The stock tune will dial back the boost and most of the power in order to maintain the programmed desired airload settings. This is called the "learn down" phenomenon Once you are tuned and your boost settings are higher it will not "learn" down anymore.

 

the learn down is kind of bullshit...i suppose the reason they do that is to prevent people from modding then changing back if they do any damage to bring it in for service. The only way around the "learn down" is a tune? witch will show up when you bring it in for service..Am i correct? Its kind of pointless then to mod if your worried about your warrenty huh? Or is there a way to tune with out the ECU storing memory? Iv heard of people buying a 2nd. ECU to tune and be able to still keep the stock ECU if they need service. Can anyone tell me a price and place at were i would be able to grad an extra one? Thanks guys

 

Actually, I believe it was programmed that way so that no matter what driving conditions you encounter your car will make about the same amount of power. That is good if you change altitudes a lot as you ECM will command more or less airflow from the turbo to maintain the desied airload and the hp level.

 

I'm ordering my hahn CAI this week... Can't wait!
