Can i do the silencer mod on a k&n intake or can you only do that on the stock intake?

warpigg

does the k&n tube that goes from the maf to the throttle body have silencers?

You would make more power going back to the stock intake anyways so I would not worry about it.

demonrunner16

so youre saying the stock intake is better than the k&n?

konah

That's what it sounds like to me.

Yep, dyno proven by me and Gadget. Stock intake with Elbow removed is the best intake for our engines. Our engines just don't response well to bolt on's. The only way to get more power out of them is to boost them.

Here is a dyno test I did back to back on the dyno and repeated twice because I did not expect the results.

Blue = Stock with elbow removed
Red = "cold air" intake



If you want the feeling of more power and for some reason don't want to boost it you have 2 other options. You can get gears, this will hurt your MPG but it will feel a lot faster. or you can get a high stall converter for the transmission, this will make the power from a stop much nicer.

I am glad I saw this and did not run out and buy the K&N intake system. Have you Dyno tested the Intake Silencer Mod? Also which elbow are you talking about that you removed?

Thanks

pretty sure I show the elbow in that video. It is the one that goes into the fender.

no need to test the intake silencer, removing it should not make anymore power and the butt dyno agrees. I only did it for looks and to make checking the transmission easier.
