Aftermarket intake questions

Actually the graph is showing horse power as well the scale is just not part of the photo I took. The unit is in metric horsepower meaning the top at 7095 rpm is 142.5 BHP. The missing scale gives 60 HK at 90 Nm, 80 HK at 120 Nm and so forth. > > I'll try it and see, may well be standard again next week though :-p > I have put the kit on my car now and I do like the difference. There is a little more "omph" in the exhaust but mainly at higher revs and during acceleration so when taking it slow it does not make me feel like a noise terrorist. Also there is a sucking noise from the new filter which can be heard at idle and even a second after the engine is turned off. As for power I think there is a slight improvement but it could well be wishful thinking. The rolling road I used in the test without the kit is closed for the holiday but I have booked a time for August 8'th so by then some hard facts should be available (I want to use the same place to ensure the most accurate result). Kind regards Bruno |

Sounds like you had the same experience as me! It's when you put your foot down the filter change is most obvious... Cheers, R. |
