Hey guys a buddy of mine told me i should take my intake silencer off??? good idea or bad idea? just so noone is confused it the rubber piece that connects to the cone and goes through the fender...

heh, I think everyone on MF is aware of the whole silencer trick. There is a sticky on it somewhere, but yeah, I took mine off and dropped a K & N filter...you will hear the air getting sucked in, plus it should be a little less restrictive on the air flow....

Now that I've done it however, I'm leanin more towards just getting a CAI (cold air intake).

silencer removed with a k &n filter is dyno proven 9hp...there is a sticky on it, in tech articles and how to's.

yeah man, open that thing up. it's easy to do, like 15 minutes tops. look up bolt on basics.

yes, but is that on a stock motor?

Ummm... more like 3. I know, I dyno'd it. 226rwhp stock, 229 with silencer removed and K&N FIPK installed.

+1. 3 hp is more like it. You couldnt get 9 hp unless you did like heads+cam+full exhaust and then upgrade the air filter!

here ya go....read the article....if you add a k&n its about 9hp just as i said.

remove the silencer (4 -5 hp).....add a k& n (3-5 hp)....equals about 9hp = pretty much a cai

lol i would be pretty pissed if i only gained a total of 3hp from a k&n cold air intake! how much did you pay for it, cause im sure you could have atleast seen 3hp from just a k&n filter lol

rofl you guys are nuts!! heads...cams...full exhaust, then upgrade the filter.....for 9hp?!?!? dude....put the pipe down.
