No 15 is about right. As well as a real dyno like CP-E, shows a 16hp increase. So you're telling me that an intake with the incorrect maf housing, no air flow straightener gets almost double? sorry but I HIGHLY doubt it.
Cobb SRI
- Thread starter mikespeed3
- Start date
might get 29 with a cat-back (maybe), downpipe-back and yes I can see 30-35.
And yeah I posted a dyno from a manufacturer, but other people have proven the 15 or 16 hp. I just don't like to see mis-information being spread, the internet is already full of it.

Different DYNO's!!! Cobb does their test on a F'n MUSTANG DYNO@ ELEVATION Of course it's going to read lower.
i did not post this at 5:00 AM, that was weird...i just posted this now at 1030
its measuring the difference between baseline and after the part is installed, has little to do with the amount of peak hp...aka, doesn't matter what dyno. You measure the difference between runs. And the only reason AEM/Mazdaspeed/Injen CAI's have made such power is because they don't run the stock MAF size (injen does actually). This causes the engine to run slightly leaner (mechanical tuning) and creates additional power. The CP-E CAI, which has both correct MAF size and air-straightener actually runs RICHER than stock, hence the lower hp readings from their CAI as opposed to other CAI's. They even posted that information on their site and several other forums. It was not AEM or Injens intention to make the car run a bit leaner, its just a result of not using an air-straightener like stock. Its a never ending debate and at the end of the day people should choose what they want. The Cobb is the way to go for price and ease of install-removal, if you can get one. Otherwise Injen isn't much more followed by AEM. And if anyone who's whining about it has ever done dyno tuning, you should know that your ASS is a horrible measure of power and can easily be fooled, so stop making claims unless you too have your own dyno sheets to prove things. And BTW, I am higher in elev than Cobb and our local club HAS dyno'd CAI's and shown larger gains than the Cobb SRI, but its still a great intake and a good choice. I would have bought one had they been in stock.

CP-E runs richer than stock, AEM and INJEN run leaner than stock. CP-E provides this information on their site. Thats why its recommended to not use other CAI's because additional mods can easily cause fuel cuts. So yes, buying the CP-E for near identical power of the Cobb is probably not a good idea as people claim the Cobb makes the same power.... at half the price
Man, do I love that bad MAF housing :O

I just hope that they're actually WORKING on this, and not just putting it on the back burner while they crank out new products for the GTR.
No thanks. I'm loving my CP-E CAI just fine.
