Any gains FROM PRL SRI STOCK MANIFOLD ?

[Shagydishapopo]

Well he is tuning my car on it next week along with a full exhaust. You want me to let you know how it all turns out hp wise?

That would be great. I have this intake aswell at the garage.

Ordered mine last night and i gotta say PRL has great customer service i screwed up on the order and they corrected it ASAP can't wait to get this installed.

They are back ordered now...but I have all my other parts besides my fullrace dp and flashpro which should come today. I will keep you updated once Vit tunes it

Did anyone ever get it tuned with FP?

Also, I was thinking about making a custom "ice box" around this SRI and connecting it to the stock intake tubing.

 

[Abbz8377]

I got it tuned makes all the difference.

 

[Shagydishapopo]

I got mine installed and in process with vittune. What did you guys do with lower portion tube of the stock intake?

 

[Abbz8377]

I ripped the whole factory system out. Really no need to keep any of it in there in my opinion.

 

[ericc191]

I'm going to keep mine in and see about fashioning an icebox around the filter and connecting to the lower intake tube.

Are you satisfied with the prl sri? Nice difference after tuned?

 

[ericc191]

I think it loses power in some areas and gains in other areas whereas the PRL CAI was gaining throughout the entire rpm band.

Vs the stock box*

 

[Labeller]

Do you have a dyno sheet? Do you recomand ?

 

[ericc191]

I haven't gotten to install mine yet. Once I get fp and the etune started, I'll post some results.

 

[Labeller]

Ok let me know!

i like your idea. but if thats the design youre after. Better off saving yourself the time and hassle just buy an aFe takeda air box. its the same idea behind a close/sealed systems that outflows the stock system by over 40% and still utilizes the stock air intake tube from under the battery!

 

[PASCIAK]

aFe takeda intake tuned with some other components to benefit im sure works just as well as the PRL CAI. when i refere too "other" components i mean big bore throttle body, tb spacer, thermal gaskets etc... all these will benefit the intake system ontop of the aFe takeda itself

The afe has smaller piping

Do you mean with the stock intake manifold?

If so, according to VIT, the only intake to outperform stock is a PRL 3.5" CAI.

so the PRL intake is the only one? evern the rick spec'd intake?!

Vit posted Dyno numbers showing that only PRL CAI is the only intake to show gains over the stock box.
