Post Maf Tubes & Drop-ins, worth it??

370guy · 10-17-2011, 07:59 PM

just as title says, not looking for huge power gains but more throttle response. ive got the high horsepower in the garage and this is my DD. will this combo yield 1) SOME noticeable power gains 2)throttle response 3) sound (more air in means more air out, right?)

Methodical4u · 10-17-2011, 08:25 PM

probably not sound, but there is proof that there is some gains with this set-up. I was just discussing this with another member here and the only dynos we have seen have been ones where other mods had already been added, so with a stock set-up it's very hard to tell. I would go with Modshacks DIY fang vents if you do go with it though... that's what i'm going to do. Cool air is better air.

just the k&n filters drop-in alone will gain you average of 4-5 whp, the oem intake is very good already as stated by other members on here

here is the link with dyno

If high gains are not your concern then these would be the best route for you. Tubes and filters will be $200> depending on where you get them from. Well worth it if you're not looking for power. Plus you can have your choice of color on the tubes.

The stock intake boxes and draw location are pretty good, and if you do the fang fent, you'll almost have a 'ram air' system for dirt cheap.

well im getting my top speed cat back and y-pipe as well so maybe ill see some decent gains from both of them together

Very nice!

Get the tubes, they are cheap and add a small about of function. Sound won't be there though.

Pelican170 · 10-18-2011, 12:28 PM

IMO, the tubes are and filters are the best bang for the buck compared to the Stillen G3's. HP comparisons are minimal between the two after mods... Save your money and go with the tubes...

i'd like to say the same.. but I have yet to see any real power numbers with the tubes and drop ins... as far as power difference being minimal.

dvo · 10-18-2011, 01:24 PM

i think that regular k&n drop ins should be adequate for what you're looking for and at a minimal cost.

Someone on here had them dyno's at 8 - 10 hp with tubes and filters... the real question is the dyno for the G3's after mods. I think i also read that someone put the g3's and got a tune and the HP boost was only 10 HP after mods. Id have to find the thread...

Pelican170 · 10-18-2011, 01:33 PM

Found it...

If you already had a full exhaust and added G3's..

So, my mistake, the tune was already done, but the intake only added 9 hp...
