AFE Stage 1 intake review.

[Fenrir]

Please forgive the quality and presentation. I decided to do this last minute and rambled a bit.. And filmed it on the front facing camera of my cell so nooooot the best quality. Anyways... Here it is:



EDIT: I'm also not picking my nose in the video lol *you'll see* I was in a hurry shaving this morning and nicked myself.... and it itches.

*UPDATE 9/22/14*


AFE PRO DRY CAI Intake update :

Definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY noticeable at 3k rpm and above. The car, simply put, breathes better. I tossed my oem air box back on for a week and I didn't think I'd notice much of a difference. I even have a K&N drop in for it... There is certainly a big difference. Once again as I stated before, I am in no position to toss out HP numbers. But the butt dyno likes it lol. You can feel the car breathe better across the rev range and the associated ear candy melody coming form the engine bay is wonderful.

My particular intake has a lil whistle with it. Yeees I've checked my vacuum lines and already replaced both intake boots and have no codes associated with it or power loss. And you can hear it coming from the intake. It's a lil different from the sound of a vacuum leak. Some people hate that whistle. Me? Well I like all kinds of "good" engine noises so, I love it.

Conclusion:

If you're sitting here debating to modify your exhaust or intake.... Just do it already lol. The combined ear candy alone is worth it. And the feeling of a car breathing better at both ends vs stock is both surprising and welcome.

Great review Fenrir! I've been looking at intakes as they come up for sale and go. Saved your video on youtube, probably come back to it a few more times lol

Maybe do a 1 month follow-up? See what subtle differences you pickup/notice, etc.

Good work Ben! Pleasure to do business with you. Above 3500rpm you can feel the car breathe a little better especially 3rd gear+.

Great review man. Thanks.

[Fenrir]

Thanks guys . Derek I did notice the pickup with third gear and I'll elaborate on that a lil more in the next video lol. Whiiiiich I'll do a month out or so with a lil more planning and better presentation lol. Sooner if I become impatient lol. I tend to do a LOT of driving on the weekends, especially in the mountains. So it shouldn't take me too long to learn the nuances . Thanks again guys.
