The truth about aftermarket intakes vs. stock...
Does anybody know it?
I only ask because my car came with an aftermarket k&n / tube intake, but the car is faster with the stock box. My kester isn't real sensitive, but the stock setup had noticably more power in the 2k - 5k range than the tube setup.
Some very esteemed members of the board have the k&n intake tube setup, which makes me think mine was just set up wrong if the stock gave me more power.
There was no heat shield and the tube gets super hot under there. Does a heat shield make the difference? How about forcing the air into the tube with some sort of modified cold air flange?
Anyone want to throw in their $0.02?
