Quoting myself, has anyone done logs??

 

can this at all ruin your car or affect it negatively? plus is this legal or do i have to reinstall when inspection time rolls around?

 

I've never heard of it hurting the car, and frankly, I don't see how it could.

This is not something the inspection crew would even go to check - it's under the headlight and surrounded on all sides. They'd have to take the car apart to check.

 

ok. sounds good. will i have an engine check light on though? ive watched videos with this mod and they have an engine check light on

 

Mine never did.

 

how is it when it rains? how did you take yours out? by taking out the headlight like in the how to or did you go up from the bottom and using car ramps?

 

It's fine when it rains. Nothing different.

Mine I removed the headlight and unbolted the splashguard from underneath, and in the wheel well.

I did it with the car on the ground. Pulled the thing out from the bottom.

 

was there any bending of the fender or any problems with removing it? people say that its hard to remove and that there is a lot of pulling/tugging, i dont want to accidentlly break/bend anything

 

Not at all. I only removed the wheel well splash guard (well, pulled it back) to get the pin out of the back of the resonator. Came out rather easily. I actually put it back in to take before and after pics.

 

ok. thanks. im gonna have my buddy help me with this possibley over the weekend, if not tm. im not good at that stuff but did you find that there was a good increase in trottle response and sound? some say that the sound only exposes when you shift, otherwise it sounds stock

 

The sound increase confused some people - they thought I had an aftermarket exhaust system in the car. Throttle response was a tad better. Nothing significant.

 

ok good. im doing it for the sound anyways. the throttle response was just an extra plus. thanks a lot for the help bro.

 

Mine was always real sluggish between 2 - 3k and now it's alot smoother it actually helped throttle response much more than i thought. Not much faster but does have a little more pull between those rpms. I'm doing this because i don't want to spend the money on a CAI. I'm boosting next summer whoo hoo!!!

 

Yeah, this mod helped my car out alot. My friends have all said that my car sounds a bit different. Hell I can finally get to 108MPH now (damn governor).

Was still a PITA to do though.

 

108????? i got a LS and i can pass that

 

any updates on the mileage changes? Im also wondering if this throws off CEL due to increased air flow?

 

I've had it done for a few months now and I've had NO CEL's. Mileage wise, I can't tell you because I done this the same time I installed my GMPP SRI.

 

im all the way through this but i cant get the damn headlight back in!!! do i have to take the front facia off?

 

No, you should be able to work it back in....

 

yea. still waiting for my buddy to help me. sometime within the next week or so he said he will be able to. this isnt gonna be perminant but i want some sound and a little better performance.

 

until i see IAT results i call BS on this truely helping anything

 

i finished it, and although i don't have a dyno sheet to prove it, u can feel the difference. Mostly in throttle response but i have noticed a slight increase in millage also. I mean the air box can get air much more efficiently now, how could that rob power? think about it.

 

i cant take power. its only air, just more of it. lol.

 

If it does anything it's minimal. However, it did change the sound noticeably.

 

just finished mine, i am not sure if i have noticed anything really, i have a cat back exhaust with the resonater on my exhaust off too. so my car is kinda loud already so i couldn't really hear a difference, i also have a stock intake, and throttle response we will see about in acouple of days after fooling around. took only 20 mins and worse case if i find nothing else, i need to change my air filter.
