I searched... Pics/gains on custom intake

[Charlescrs6]

Anyone have pics of a custom intake on the 3.0?? Using the stock box or not I'm looking into this instead of a $300 vflow. Pics and hp/tq gains pleaseeee
TIA

Stock airbox is good enough. Leave it stock.

no reason to mess with the intake.

For looks, slight improvement to throttle response, and a slightly better sound, an intake is worth it. If you're looking for power gains, it's not worth it, since you won't really get any.

i've seen that thread a hundred times... i was looking on the b5 s4 forums and found a guy that drilled holes or something in his stock filter. The evoms for the 3.0 says it gives 10-15 so you guys are suggesting it doest give ANY gain? I was thinking at least like 5 or so and better throttle response

gay, i hate that there are almost NO mods for the 3.0 except the PES

Stratmosphere makes an intake. But as others have said, don't get it if your engine is stock and you are looking for HP gains because you won't see any.

There are plenty of things out there for 3.0.... exhaust, suspension, sway bars, bumpers, interior mods, CF hoods, etc.

when i save up 5k it'll be a possibility... what else did you have to install along with the PES?

[Charlescrs6]

these kind of comments are what scare me about the PES:

Try ECStuning.com.. and i would strongly reccomend that you get that checked out by PES, may be something besides coilpacks, I had a 3.0 motor blow up bc of their shit s/c.

Huh? Is this my comment in another thread? Totally out of context, misfires happen on all cars for various reasons. I wasn't talking about the s/c kit at all.

I knew i should've just copied the "I had a 3.0 motor blow up bc of their shit s/c" quote.

Ask the dude who wrote that comment:
How many miles did he have on with S/C before he went redline and which gear he went redline in.

It takes time for the internals and ECU to adapt from N/A to forced induction. We all warned him beforehand, take it easy the first couple hundred miles and break it in.

do you not have to do an ECU change from the stock? I'm sure you do right, otherwise o2 sensors would be jumping I'm sure. How long is the break in per. for the PES?
