The True Abouth Airbox

HELLO!
i did a airbox mod in my car with the stage 2 setup that i got but really other than the nice sc sound that the car did i think in performance wise is not good and the way i can tell is very simple. as shifting gear i notice that 1 was max at 20 mph when in a regular stock it go all that way to 25 or 30 so if u shift that soon u will be going slower. 2 gear max was 40 mph when now i go to 60mph and get worse! this only my opinion i forget it abouth my spell please!!!!!!this for those guy who care abouth performance not sc sound!! so i gess the cheap way is not good i gess going to the cai and see.... thanks.....

u do kno that the max speed in each gear has to do with gear ratios and nothing to do with an air filter, right?!?

Definitely not trying to flame but I agree that theres no way a filter can alter your gearing. Maybe you just feel like it has changed because of the slightly quicker throttle response?

BTW I'm pretty sure english is not his native tongue guys.

If anything, the extra hp you gain from the "Air box mod" would help you pull threw each gear faster because you'd be going faster? I'm not sure I under stand your problem?

Air box mod ftw! There is now way that doing this mod will make your car slower, unless u messed it up or used to much oil on your k+n filter causing maf contamination. Im not quite sure I understand your problem because its hard to understand your typing. sorry, not trying to make fun.

NOPE I GOT THE STOCK setup now with the stock filter and i disconect the battery ... as soon i took the road the car run much better and i can get more off each gear wich i like becuse for me is better to drive than waste time shifting too often!

Lolz at this thread.
his grammar IS pretty bad, but these guys are ruthless.

I agree with everybody else. Too many guys here DYNOED gains from the airbox mod to make me think that you are any different.

an AIRBOX modification will not DO ANYTHING TO YOUR GEARS! It has nothing to do with gears or how fast or slow you can go in a gear. YOur airbox mod didnt make your gears shorter or you run out of gears faster. Your just a dumb foriegner
