Interesting tidbit, I asked AA if I'lI needed a reflash of my tune do to the TB and they said they'd need a Dyno w/AFR info so they could tell. Otherwise, they don't know. John

This why I included my dyno numbers. That was the best out of three pulls. I would of been happy if it was over 200 HP. I've had the Dinan products on my car for over 4 years now...
I would like to get some new numbers now that I have the full Corsa exhaust. The shop that did the work assured me that the ZHP exhaust was good enough but I'd like verify.

I will give Dinan cudos for one thing, the rear shock brace, finding them through others is difficult. And I like their design on the strut and rear shock braces.

Here's more info and a couple of shots of the Dinan air box
The bottom of the box is stock still using the stock snorkels. An additional snorkel is added to the left brake duct. This is the hardest part of the installation as you have add the holes in the air box and the brake duct. I really don't think there is any issue with hydro locking since it still uses the stock snorkels. If the only intake was through the brake duct snorkel then I'd be worried
Here's a shot of the inside of the top air box. The filter is pretty big and it's the dry type. I replace it every 30k or so.

Wow thanks for sharing. Dinan claims this intake design provides the ideal conditions for the engine because the intake and filter are in a sealed environment. And because of this, the hotter air in the engine bay does not heat up the "cold" air coming in from the inlets. It's a very cool design.

Dinan Stage 1
~ Garry Murphy
Here is my experience so far with my stage 1 software. I had it installed at the only Dinan dealer in Utah and he was great to work worth. One thing I found out was you can upgrade to stage 2 software and you only have to pay the difference between stage 1 and stage 2. So, that is nice if I want to go that route in the future.
I've enjoyed much smoother and quicker acceleration with the software installed in my car. It's kind of hard to explain, I don't really feel like my car is more powerful, maybe 2-3 HP I suppose at most. But, I feel that the car is able to use what it has a lot more effectively to get to the higher RPM range more quickly than the stock setup. There is no lag in the lower range and silky smooth all the way through the power band.
I was actually surprised at the perkiness my car now displays from about 3500-6000 RPM. It has become even more fun to drive now. On my first fuel up, it appears that I am getting 1-2 more MPG on the freeway cruising at 70mph.
So far I am very pleased with it. That's my .02.
