Ive read some people say the injen intake makes a HUGE difference, and ive also read that some people dont even notice the hp/tor gains.

Just wanted to see what people who had this intake, or an intake at all, thought.

big diff?

red06SC

noticeable

Caligula

And what about the sound?
Big difference there?

ShortStack

Hell yes.

Tank07

mostly sound.......car does drive better but ur looking at a max 5whp increase

Noticeable, but the primary appeal from an intake on our cars is the louder whine.

If you're in the market for an intake and have about $200, this is where you need to be:

the car is louder, so most people think it feels faster. You have to have a pretty damn good butt dyno to feel the difference between 219 and 222 whp. In other words, feeling a difference is in people's heads. Though they'll swear it's not.

That being said, an intake is still worth it especially if you have or are planning on doing other mods as well.

I figured it would be something like that.

They get you when they say "add's up to 15hp."

Some may at 15hp to the crank, not the wheels though, at least not on a cobalt.

Tank07

they are referring to crank.........which is a useless number

Caligula

That stinks.

But I'll be happy as long as I get a good whine.

I cant hear my supercharger at ALL.

liolixli

I agree. RAW intake is nice. My injen got holes in it. I have been using thiers since and with the larger TB it is a huge difference in driving.

Tank07

u know what i mean

Caligula

While this topic is up, Just wondering.

Does anyone have any Idea what an Eclipse Gt 08 gets to the wheels.

All i find is 263hp.

Its drivin me insane.

red06SC

not enough to push all that metal down the road

Tank07

lmfao

Caligula

Well my Gf has it.

pretty sure she could take my stage 2.

I dont know tho.

red06SC

She shouldn't be able to if you can drive.

I'm assuming its an auto..

Auto + heavy fwd car = not so much

A good driver can go 13s in a GMS2 car, I think C&D tested the Eclipse GT at something like a 14.6. A driver in a stock SC should take one.

I couldn't find anything solid either, but average drivetrain loss for FWD is roughly 10--15%. Thats anywhere between 223whp and 236whp.

I've beaten one in my stage 2 ss s/c so that seems about right.

D4u2s0t

umm.... no. stop doing ricer math and looking at the hp #'s.

Caligula

Hah.

Didnt know i was.

Ive driven both.
That was my own take.

red06SC

Does your IC pump work?

Caligula

nah its a stick.

D4u2s0t

my bad

But it shouldn't be faster than your car.
