im looking to buy a cold air intake within the next week or 2 but i need to know which one is the best out there. i already know that hahns isnt worth a ****. or at least thats what iver heard. so id like to know who has the best one out there and WHY its the best one.

 

use the seach button man.

 

Probly CIA's I think theyre the only one using an oem style vent tube fitting. Might be wrong tho

 

lol......oh snap smartass remark!.... in your face *****!.......lol

 

what do i need to type into the search? cause everytime i use the search button it takes me to the most random ****

 

either just search around or check the last 3 or 4 pages. theres more intake questions here than anyhting else.

 

i really need some help on this. ive heard alot of a couple different intakes but i just wanna see what everyone else has to say b4 i buy one.

 

ok here

I have Hahn. good intake. sounds good. i havent logged it yet so i dont know how the short term fuel trims and long term are. need to make custome piece for vaccuum line. rubs a lil on the AC line. Maf sensor barely extends to the intake

Injen. stock location MAF. kind of wacky STFT and LTFT from what i read.

AEM. MAF sensor relocated to the fenderwell. No change in STFT and LTFT. gives a chirp when under WOT shifting.

CAI (one im going to next) stock MAF sensor. 0 change in LTFT and STFT. 3 in. all one piece. dry flow filter.



please someone correct me if im wrong.

Dejon..... dont use it.


stay away from SRI. wacky STFT and LTFT. power is only good till 75. but picks up there a lil faste.r CAi is for 75+ MPH.

 

i thought the hahn was supposed to be good.. hmm.

 

can u explain stft and ltft? i have no idea what those stand for

 

lets just say alot of guys are gonna get the clear image short ram intake. thats what i am waiting for.

 

STFT: Short Term Fuel Trim
LTFT: Long Term Fuel Trim

If for instance the O2 sensor is showing rich or lean, then the car changes the STFT to add or take away fuel to compensate for the rich or lean condition.

Over time the STFTs create a trend (LTFT) which adjusts for what the car tends to be... either rich or lean. Think of it like sighting in a gun. If you constantly shoot under the target, then you need to adjust the gunsight higher so you're on target every time.

Now what's happening with the intakes is that the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) is telling the engine it has a certain amount of air coming its way, but the intake changes the amount of airflow depending on the length, diameter, bends, etc. and the MAF may not read the airflow correctly now that the air hits it differently. This causes MAF "skew", where the actual airflow versus what the MAF sees is skewed.

Over time the car will adjust for this in the form of the STFT and LTFT, but it's better if you either get an intake from the get-go that lets the MAF read correctly or you'll maybe want to get tuned and adjust the MAF input in the ECU programming to compensate for the change in airflow that the MAF sees.

 

interesting. thanks man. that helped alot

 

interesting. thanks man. that helped alot

 

thanks man that helped clear alot up for me

 

thanks man that helped clear alot up for me

 

thanks man that helped clear alot up for me

so right now im being told that AEM has the best one out there.

 

I would get the hahn intake!

 

nah all ive heard is badshit about that intake. both the guys that tune around here said to stay the hell away from that intake

 

AEM seems to be the ONLY one proven right now.

CIA seems to be okay too... "purely based on here-say" right now!

And the HAHN intake sucks.... P E R I O D

 

if i can get CIA to drop their damn price ill get one from them. but i aint bout to pay 325 bucks pluss shiippin for theres

 

I agree....

Just buy 2 AEM's! LOL

 

and give me the 2nd! jk lol

 

i will if i can find them for around 250 bucks a peice haha. dub find them and ill order them

 

still going to the meet tomorrow josh? i will have those powdercoating samples with me. i hope they look good lol. i wish he still had some black with silver flake so i could see that.
