Dyno results are the only way to measure any gains and where they occur. I have never really thought butt dynos or tire-chirp dynos were too objective. I will have to wait for more testing before I pay $200 for minimal gains above 3000 RPM.Da 6 said:any of you guys recieve your 1st cel? ....on the site they claim if they only made a cai or sri that one or the other didn't show too much of a difrence from stock....or was way tooo far in engine bay to get a decient gain for price of production. the tones of the intake change around 3000 4000 rpms..(start off in 2nd)..vtcs is engaged so you don't loose as much low end as you would withought it...I stilll chirp tires ot the line so I have no complaints. alot of people under estimate the gains on this particular engine from intake mod.
I just put an AEM CAI on my 3 and I agree with what you say about putting in black mesh behind the fog lamp to get more air access. I wonder if Grille Craft is going to be making a batch or if this will have to be a custom job.rjison said:My Blue CAI needed a slight modification. The bolt hole for mounting the barometric pressure sensor, was not the correct diameter. Also, I think they need to modify the dimensions on the mount. The BP sensor has features on the bottom, guide features that had to be nocked off so I could mount the sensor as shown in the directions.
I have to say even with this quick fix problem, the instructions were great!
Lots of pictures that explained everything.
I tell you when you are gunning it at about 5500rpm, its pretty loud !)
The only thing I do notice is you have to give it a little more gas off the line than before (no torque at 1-2krpm).
I think maybe a black mesh around the fog lamps would be a cool mod to get more air to the filter. The intake sits right behind the left fog lamp.
