    One nice feature Of a quieter performance exhaust is that you can hear the howling of the cold air intake 😁

  • @EastingAndNorthing
    @EastingAndNorthing 6 лет назад +42

    Some people (like me) take off a lot of intake ducting for their cold air intake. However, most of the time you'll find that a lot of intake tuning has been done by engineers to improve resonances and flow velocity to your throttle body. This will result in a smoother power band which might be more benificial than simply getting a little bit colder air.

    • @stevenfarrington2361
      @stevenfarrington2361 6 лет назад +4

      Exactly right. I wouldn't mess with intake piping until extra boost or replacement cams take your flow requirements outside the capability of the OEM intake. Very few cold air systems actually work because they are often based on guesswork and assumptions not science and testing.

    Only thing i would exclude are cold air intakes. Most newer cars from 2000+ already have a cold air intake stock. The airbox will have plumbing either into the fender or front bumper to pull cooler air. Yes if youre doing a turbo, supercharger, cams, etc then yes you will need a less restrictive intake. But for people who only buy cool rimz for their cars, a cheap muffler and stickers they should leave the intake alone

    You forgot to mention flushing the blinker fluid every year, especially on used vehicles. Over time the pressure release valves will gunk up, causing engine damage and possibly engine failure. After changing your blinker and 710 fluid, you will immediately increase the longevity of your vehicle, and gain a possible 20-50 horsepower. Horsepower varies depending on engine size and toaster. If its a quad intake, usually they run around 30-50 horsepower.

    • @justinpickett7950
      @justinpickett7950 6 лет назад

      Increasing exhaust diameter is bad unless forced induction has been added and even then a minimal increase is all that needed if at all. Unless you like throttle lag and low end drivability issues

      That's because it depends on the car and the setup. Example, a Borla exhaust give say 10HP on Toyota but the same style exhaust designed for a Nissan may be higher or lower. Ssme token, a different brand will give different numbers than the Borla.

    If you replaces the cams do you have to get the car tuned

    • @DENicholsAutoBravado
      @DENicholsAutoBravado 6 лет назад +1

      Stage 1 cams? On my project car? No. Ideally yes. Stage 2 cams? You could get away with it, but you could have idling issues without a tune. Stage 3? Forget about it unless it's a race machine. It's only good for high revs and your car better not be made for the street anymore. Goodbye fuel economy (even in racing the idle consumption of fuel is important) and you MUST have the ECU tuned. I bet you'd like my take in intakes. Check this out, "My Cold Air Intake and when I Heat Things Up".
