WHY OEM INTAKES and FILTERS ARE BETTER

I like how fast this thread turned into a maxima vs fit discussion

At the end of the day, 90% of these threads turn into a "Who's got the bigger díck now?"
LOL

Guys the point I am making is the stock intake system is very good! and all the money in the world with buying aftermarket CAI is not going to get your no more then 4-6WHP.

I bet you 80% of time people who buy aftermarket CAI end up putting them up for sale in a few months? why because they wake up and see they lost $500-600 on something that only looks good and gives more sound!

Unless you are tracking your car and running near 6500Rpm with CAI you would get more topend power.

But that's it!

we dont care! the point of this thread is maxima drivers think they drive SPORTSCAR.

jk the stock intake is pretty good. good enough to be used on the amuse 350Z racecar when that gen had the dual intakes.

OEM Filter fanboy???? thats a new one. glad i swung by to see this thread of non-sense

it just keeps getting worse

this sounds more or less like someone who got sucked into buying a CAI and never takes their car above 60mph or revs hard.....or drives it like it was meant to be driven. go back to stock and quit bitchin bout it.

there's a complaining thread for that. go join the 4 girls in there and have at it.

that is all.

Good thing I track my car and don't lose sleep over $500-600.

I've been through lots of cars and the usual 10hp bolt-on mods designed to empty my wallet but now that I'm older and having gone through all that, I'm proudly keeping my Z intakes bone stock but investing in Viagra instead.

Every person except GTLAW (GSXR750 too) must be wrong. Somehow all the empirical evidence we have gathered is wrong too. We are all doomed. The minimum whp expected is 10whp on a modded car, and more as a first mod. The stock intakes are good, but CAI's will create more power, and more than the 4-6 you claim. We should just spam this thread with dyno results.

Bottom line is stock, second line is full exhaust, 3rd line is CAI and pulleys. Looks like my low end has dramatically improved as well. The dyno must be lying.

Hawk -So lets clarify your dyno chart.

Bottom line is bone stock. ?

Middle line is full exhaust. ?

Top line is full exhaust , aftermarket CAI and pulleys ?

If I am correct then where is your dyno chart showing the big HP gains with just a after market CAI , nothing else.

SS_Firehawk

Pay for it and I'll oblige. I can still guarantee gains much higher than 4-6. It's also well known that the more breather mods added, the more diminishing returns. Getting 16whp from an intakes and pulleys is impressive. Subtracting the 5-7 peak whp pulleys actually make is still far and above the stated claim. Let me remind you something I told someone else here. In this world, 1+1 is not 2. AEM, Stillen Akuma, and AAM have seen gains of 15-18whp on a stock vehicle. I suppose they are lying too. I'll be more than happy to pull their dynos for you.

So you refuse to answer a simple question useless someone pays you ! (WTF)

You can't explain your own dyno posting, makes no sense !!!

Also look at the most of the dyno charts you provide, pretty much the same baseline HP and Torque curve for most of the charts until 6500 RPM. Like I said how often are you are going be driving between 6500 and 7500 RPM.

The other charts you provide only show a better torque and hp curve when the exhaust is also changed.
