My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

nynhex · 05-12-2011, 12:34 PM

Just bought a set of tubes/drop-in's. Supposedly are in stock, we shall see. This will be my first power mod. Not sure how much I'll get out of it, but if the but dyno is happy then I am happy.

The HP gain isn't significant enough for the butt dyno to detect (it's only ~5HP), but hey, it's cheap

I'll admit that sometimes I think the throttle is a bit more responsive, and it pulls a bit more, but that could be the self-fulfilling prophecy of human nature. Please don't take this as me trying to be a douche, just trying to make your expectations more realistic and in line with the mod

Understood, and thanks! It's a cheap mod that doesn't make the car look like it was modded cheaply. And really 500$ for an intake system that might net another 5hp really isn't worth it for me at this time. I'd rather make my car handle and have it look legit.

I said the same thing to myself after i put them in... My GF said to me she thinks it made the engine sound louder at high rpm's, but what does she know
