Message: <blockquote data-quote="TitanRev" data-source="post: 1064394707" data-attributes="member: 10047">Just to share my experience. Which is similar to Izso...I've also try short ram, long ram, commando style (no air filter), CAI...etc...also the same result as to Izso's Now all my car I'm opt for drop in only....MT or AT same....I didn't even put CAI just use back all the stock intake piping....Also using short ram or long ram the differences is in a very narrow speed range only. You want more power it's not all just about having the less restrictive filter it also involves temperature. After looking at your attache images can say your intake runners are fairly small and long well it's good for low to mid torque (city drive, stop n go) but high wend will suffer a bit due to the small runners it limits the amount of air flow. Then I saw your runners are all snaking over the engine before going into the intake side. Which I would say will contribute a lot of power loss due to heat soaking...Have you tried touching you intake runners after a long drive? if not. try touching it. For me the 1st thing I want to solve the problem is the intake runners situation the air filter just get a drop in. Your runners I suggest you ceramic coat them. Reduction in intake temp is beneficial and gives your car more power. Ignition Booster...can show me a pic of that? The part I don't understand is why you need to change your piping size since your car is consider mildly modified....you should have just stick to the original piping size. What's your piping size now? Do understand that the bigger the piping size the faster the exhaust cools down and becomes more heavy and harder to push out of the exhaust system....Just sharing my own mild modification steps and method for small CC cars. Just change a drop in air filter, swap out the extractor, replace the mid box and put in good high flow S-flow muffler. Retain the stock piping size. DIY port polish the throttle body, port polish the intake ports and do exhaust port matching. coat or wrap all the black intake piping with aluminium foil (get from tesco or giant) less radiated heat into the intake flow = lower air temp = more power. When you go into modification before you start actually modding the car you need to understand the car driving behavior 1st. If not, you will be spending unnecessary money but with no gain. Also modding a NA car is not cheap, need a lot of time and understanding, NA is not easy to squeeze more power out like a force induction does so be realistic on your mods and expectation on power gain. Also be clear about the purpose of your mods, to make the car more lively to drive or otherwise because if not you will keep feeling down and disappointed....My posting might sound harsh but I'm telling the truth as it is..no twist no turn...just straight talk...I hope you don't feel offended. I've modded quite some cars on my own and also have walk through the beginner stage just like you. Cheers</blockquote>
