An X-Pipe thread is another write up all together lol. But it's arguable that they'd make very similar numbers. Another scenario we look to see more of to compare results.

Seems like O/R X is MUCH more cost effective mod than a CAI. Way better numbers than the intake + tune only cars.

But that also requires deleting cats, which could then become an issue with inspection.

What gains are you seeing on the OR/X ?
I have an Airaid CAI if anybody wants to use it on a CAI shoot out

First off, props on the write up! Great job Tim!

Secondly, I think another look at this would be the fact that dyno results aren't necessarily the best indicator whether or not a part is truly effective. One thing that dyno results don't show is how much air flow you are getting on the road at 5k rpms...when the car is actually moving and collecting air respectively, it can truly make a huge difference.

I didn't notice a big difference after installing my JLT. Of course it IS tune required...with that being said up top...above say 4.5-5k rpms, I did notice it pulled a bit harder.

Honestly, this is simple physics...how much it gained? Not sure...but I felt a difference when my car is sucking in a lot more air at higher rpms!

dyno numbers are great, but are subjective. i like track testing better.

saying that...i had a JLT CF CAI/tune on my car back last May before i came over here. i hit the track and pulled off a dismal 8.6 three times in a row. i took the JLT CF CAI off and installed the stock box/tune and again, ran 8.6 about 5 more times. given the small amount of HP the CAI gave me, not counting the tune, was enough for me to want to sell it.

i still have it but if you're looking for one for the shop, i will gladly give you the CAI to help pay for the work i have lined up in May.

i do like the sound that it makes and it looks badass but from a pure performance standpoint, its not worth the dough...IMO

I'll take the JLT CF CAI off you. Been looking for one. PM me a price. I'll be going to TS for a tune and we can use it for true numbers testing.

last years TS dyno day, i put down 408 with JLT CAI/Tune and cat deletes.

Gotta figure auto though

I did a small write up on this a while back on svtp. I dynoed stock, drop in k&n, and airaid. Also dynoed with the procal stock paper, drop in k&n, & airraid. The airraid did make a power gain at the rear wheels.

**Dan12GT** · 04-05-2013, 09:30 AM

I really want to say I think my Airraid picked up something for me. How much I am not sure. I got my car dyno'd bone stock and it put down 382/359 at HPP on a cold February day. I was at the last dyno day at TS which was on a warmer day. It put down 382/387. Funny how the HP number stayed the same though. I also have a Borla S-Type full catback so that more than likely accounted for some of the gains I got too but I can't image all of it. I picked up nearly 30ft/lbs. Granted different dynos, different days however I'd like to hold my Airraid intake accountable for some of that. Note: I am on stock tune by the way.

It also depends on how dialed in the TQ is on the dyno. I know Shaun at AED has his TQ not dialed in, and it can read as much at 30-40+ normal, "real" numbers.

I dynoed 378/365 SAE and 387/375 STD with GT500 AB and that's it.

**Dan12GT** · 04-05-2013, 09:42 AM

Both of my numbers were STD. From my understand HPP and TS are pretty similar on how their dynos are dialed in

Very weird in the fact you gained that much TQ and not an "ounce" of HP, since HP is a function of TQ. Any change in TQ should result in an influx of HP unless the distance or time over wishing the work is done is changed.
