With the MS intake the IAT vs. AAT was a smaller "relative" gap... What is most important to me is that even though the IAT seems a little higher using the SRI it doesnt seem to affect the power at all. It feels just the same as having a CAI. (maybe a minor loss on a dyno due to the temp increases?).
Anyone from MSCAI to COBB SRI notice..

ya, that sounds good then...=d i suspect you'd probably get a somewhat similar set of results as compared to driver311's dyno runs using his Injen in CAI and SRI "modes". although people talked about the SRI having more torque and the CAI having more hp, it was really such a small difference at that point that it was just "in the noise."
it sounds like the IC is definitely reducing that IAT vs AAT difference enough that you can't even notice like you would in a NA car.

are you talking about in our hood ducts? honestly, i wouldn't really worry about it. if you REALLY want to "fix" this, you can just buy the cobb heat shield when it comes out for like $50...
Yeah like i said IM gonna put the MS back on thursday since the ATP inlet will be here to see how it reacts. Then i will switch over to the SRI and see how that reacts. Im thinking my final setup will be the Cobb SRI with the ATP IP!!!

Yeah i know im gonna pick that up anyway... lol

ya, that sounds like a good plan...=d i'm thinking about getting an upgraded TMIC, but i've been spending too much on my car lately, so i need to cut back and hold it steady for a while now that i have my cobb stage 2...^^;

there's gonna be soooo many cobb goodies out in a few months, hopefully! =O~
so far, i'm gonna want to get:
AP
heat shield
BPV
short shifter
...and that's to start! (bang)
hahah i hear that right after my CDFP gets here im done till the AP then its DP

ya, i've been avoiding exhaust mods because i've been waiting for the dust to settle on things before i make my decision. i was thinking about the CDFP too, since that would actually let me wait till close to redline to shift, but i think i'm going to wait until there's more options out and any bugs get ironed out...=d
Jon(mrlilguy) is running on the dyno with the stock pump, then his CDFP, then the CDFP with some mods(including meth) stay tuned after the jump for the #'s lol

That isn't weird at all. It's exactly what I would expect. Think about it, the engine is still going to throw off roughly the same amount of heat, but the CAI can't be any colder than the outside air. So if the outside air is warmer, then the difference between the two setups would be less. The CAI should have more of an edge the colder it is outside. Unless of course you're driving an MS3 with a screwed up ECU that has brain cramps in the cold. (bang)

I have an MS-CAI and have had absolutely zero problems with it. I just converted it to a short ram because I'm a lazy s.o.b. and after taking it out to clean it decided I am never doing that again. I did this last Saturday and no problems yet. The notoriously unreliable butt dyno says that I may have lost a little oomph, but not such a huge difference that I would swear to it.
Oddest thing is that to me it sounds quieter now, which is the opposite of what I expected. I think it is because I used to hear the air rushing through all that long tubing and now it is a much shorter run.

Yeah that does make sense...
Yeah with the SRI you dont get that swirl sound..... I never had problems at all with the CAI. I was thinking that with out an AF strengthener running the Cobb AP might cause and issue. I heard cobb MIGHT take a look at the MSCAI for there maps but if some leaning does happen running the AP the Cobb SRI will sold out nation wide lol now I dont have to worry and i might have even bought and extra ? EBAY? lol......

ya, i was somewhat concerned about the oiled filter, so i'm actually running a fujita f5 dry filter on my cobb. as far as i can tell, it pulls about as hard and makes for some nice cobble cobble! =O~
I read you posts about that have they stayed away ?
