So the skunk 2 has no gains at all? I highly doubt that lol.

lol yeah bro. Aside from the PRL, everything else pretty much just makes a really nice noise.
There was a thead that Vit posted that shows intakes other than PRL loosing power over stock or staying relatively close to stock.

Does the PRL CAI also sounds nice? When I had my Injen CAI the Vtec crossover war really loud and sex in my ears. On the first day when I installed my CAI my mileage dropped to 20 mpg.

Thanks webby.

The PRL CAI is the only intake I have seen to date that actually makes any power over the stock airbox. All the typical 'rush to market' intakes I've seen so far make doo-doo power.

That's one interpretation of what I said... Webby quoted exactly what I said:

"only intake I have seen to date that gained power is the PRL". To be fair to Skunk, I have not personally tested their intake on a car, so I can't say one way or another about it, but the typical 'hit the market first' intakes like Takeda, K&N, Injen, etc, are not very good.

Hell the PRL only got us 4 hp... I can't imagine any intake making power on this car. The power is had with the exhaust side and a tune.

Word to the big bird

Hmm...interesting. The reason I say is because before my skunk 2 cai I would get beat by this turbo charged Saab constantly lol and after the install I pull a car and half on him everytime lol so there has to be some gain

 

[W3R0]

You beat a turbo just by adding the Skunk2 CAI? Or you got exhaust and FP with tune?

It's a stock turbo Saab but whenever he pulls you can hear that turbo spool. Sounds sick.

And ^^^ is why I left my airbox stock, and just did exhaust/DP for now
