whats up guys, i just took the lid off of my air filter box so air is being sucked directly into the intake hose. im feelin that i got somewhere around 10HP from it, but thats only gonna be like this until i buy my intake. im lookin for input on anyone who reads this. what do you think good idea or bad?

 

I think it's a great idea as long as you provide sufficient air filtration otherwise dust will wear out your engine's piston rings fairly quickly loosing compression and your extra HP with it. Just my tought.

 

ok thats what i thought, i think it should be alright till i get my intake just as long as im not runnin through any heavy dirt and ****

 

I would stretch at least thin shop rag through the tubing and tie all 4 corners of it with duct tape to the intake pipe. You never know what can get sucked in. I wouldn't take any chance, otherwice engine damage can easily occur!

 

yea thats true, i think my friend is gonna jack me a filter from his advanced chem class so that should prolly work

 

im not im gonna get a cold air

 

the factory is a peice of **** and it doesnt allow as much air in

 

Can you feel the HP gain? Because you sucking more gas, computer will match amount of air and gas to perfect mixture. Same as pressing your gas pedal deeper. Your OEM filter will give your engine more then enough air needed unless is very dirty. I also believe that you are making a big mistake here but it is your ride. If K&N is so much better, don't worry, it would be installed in every Mercedes and all other luxury cars streight from the factory! Good luck with your project!

 

i can get any intake i want but k&n is pretty good. either way its giving me more power than the stock one

 

its obviously not gonna filter as much as the stock bc the stock isnt designed for performance, k&n is
