trinity_gt said:Nope, that was it. My first two dyno runs were bone stock and then with the air silencer removed. I then installed the K&N and went back and dynoed again. The K&N setup was the first mod on the car. Later I installed some pulleys (got another 4.5 or so from them) and the latest is the Accufab 70mm TB and plenum (not yet dynoed).
The FIPK is indeed the type that has the shield around the filter that "seals" loosely to the hood. When the hood is opened, the filter is plainly visible and when it's closed, the hood forms the top of a "box" which gets most of its air from the hole in the inner fender where the air silencer used to sit.

I've put my hand on both after running them and they both feel about the same temp... i can keep my hand firmly on them w/o burning my hand...

CManT1914 said:I built my own. I took some ABS pipe and ran it straight from the throttle body to the MAF, with a K&N filter sitting down in the fenderwell. It works great. Just a little hard to get it to line up right. Cost me about $30 from Lowes.
DerekStangGT said:what exactly is ABS pipe? what material, is it flexible, etc. did you notice any SOTP power increase from your home version? also, there are some hoses that connect to the pipe (forgive me for i dont know what they are, but there are two i think). how did you rig them up or connect them back? do you have any pics? sorry for the barrage of questions, but i appreciate the help.
I don't have anything to compare to, but when i datalog, I have yet to see an intake charge temp higher than 100 degrees with the FIPK. Anyone else has some similar data on the C&L piece?twogts4us said:Cool, KaPPaBaLL - some ghetto temp testing would be great - we await your results.

It's all aluminum, but still I can't believe you can put your hand on your Trueflow pipe...? Damn man, I'd have no skin left. Of course, I'm driving a black GT, in Florida...and it's been getting really freakin warm lately...GoldnGT said:This one isn't chrome.. its more.. aluminum.. i guess.. but i can make a pass down the track and it still be just as warm as the plastic one. On long drives both are just as hot as well. I dunno.. I'll just have to take it off, put it on a stock GT and Dyno it.

that's why it's ghetto man.twogts4us said:jstreet0204's the man! He's got a datalogger!
KaPPaBaLL, yeah, i'm sure he saw your ghetto temp tests - without any temps!!!Do you have any numbers?
DerekStangGT said:ive been noticing a lot of people lately are buying this K&N product. are there any gains to be had, or does it just look cool? one person claimed a 9 rwhp gain. does anyone have dyno sheets to back their gains up? ive also been hearing lately that the FIPK is better than the C&L MAF. i originally wanted to get the C&L MAF w/ the C&L Inlet Pipe, but got scared when everyone started saying the MAF made the car run dangerously lean. whats everyone's take on this?
