Hi there everyone Newbie here,......i was wondering if anyone knew anything about AFE (advanced flow engineering) intake systems ? I'm looking for a good air intake but i cant decide between K&N or AFE. I've never heard of AFE but they claim to give up to 19hp while K&N is only like 13-15hp. Someone help! thanks

The best intake set-up you can get is either the C & L or the JLT II. Of course with either of those you need the SCT Xcal 2 or a different tuner. I have heard of the AFE and I do not believe just bolting it on without a tune could give 19 HP.

I'm not looking to spend that much right now i just want a simple air intake upgrade and when i get deeper into my mods then i'll go for the big dogs C&L or JLTII
But do you think that K&N would be a good simple upgrade for now?

It definitely would be simple, I dont know what kind of gains you would get though. I would just wait to buy a C & L or JLT II if I were you and spend my money elsewhere.

Cool thanks for the help I appreciate it......

Hi and welcome to the forums. If you are looking for just a bolt-on CAI with no tuner you might check out this thread on the Granatelli:

Hope that helps you and good luck!

Afe makes very nice kits. All of their stuff is top-notch. Be careful putting on an intake with no tuner because your car will run lean unless it has something like the Airaid does that restricts a bit of airflow or the Granantelli which goes at it a different way.

Thanks im really looking at the Granatelli CAI it seems to be a pretty good deal.....

Anyone know if the Granatelli CAI will affect my exhaust sound? Will it make the IMCO extreme or MAC axel back with prochamber sound worse? better? no difference? any input would be greatly appreciated.......

Thanks
