SRT intake vs. K&N
SRT intake vs. K&N
Hey guys.
I know this has been discussed before and i have searched through the forums. I am trying to decide between the two of these and need people opinion or expertise.
I've read that the SRT boasts 30 hp and 30tq gains but also read that its only minimal gains. I just need an opinion, because im not sure whether im going to do an Apexi Neo down the road or not. I'm leaning towards K&N because of price, but is the difference in gains from the SRT substancial?
Thanks again for the help i know theres people who have experience with these intakes who could help a friend out

I went and got a cheap intake and an apexi neo which I turned a few days ago and can't be any happier with the end results. You have a more broad way of tuning with the neo if you're planning on future mods also.

Installing was pretty easy. The Neo will come with instructions also. Just gotta find the right wires to splice into which can be found off BanannaGS's DIY website. If you don't want to splice into your harness Bloomslang or whatever makes one but for 200 something. To remove it you just undo the splicing and your good. The hardest part for me was cutting the ashtray to put the Neo into. After installing it you gotta make sure you PROPERLY set the Neo to your car and TURN OFF corrections under the air map before you start the car. If not than I would just leave the MAF signal wire unconnected till you get to a tuner and connect it before you get it dyno'd.

Hey guys. I just installed my K&N intake today. My car almost feels slower with less torque than before. I reconnected the battery and it was a little better. Is this normal for the K&N FPIK intake system? Shouldnt i feel more power gain? Thanks for the help
from what I've notice I lost some low end torque but gained in the high end. With the AFC you're able to adjust that low end rpms w/ A/F in order to get that K&N Intake more effective.
It would be fine running 2 1/4 piping from the cats back to your new mufflers. anything wider than 2 1/4 you would lose more low end torque bc no backpressure. I think the FI guys run 2 1/2 to 3 in piping. I removed my resonators replaced it with 2 1/4 piping and magnaflow mufflers n no problems
Do all intakes cause the car to feel slower? Im not really the need for speed freak, but I dont really want the car to be slower if I add an intake. All Im really looking for is an intake that will give me a deeper sound and help with the gas mileage (I know its not THAT much but anything helps). I also dont want to put a huge hole in my wallet but Im not going to just get any cheap ebay intake either.
Sorry to hijack your thread TLcoats lol. Just trying to get some advice!
