i installed the spoon exhaust a week ago and absolutely loved it. today i installed the spoon header and a cai duct to my stock airbox. i seem to be having trouble created by the cai. when installed the exhaust note is noticably quieter and pickup(0-30)seems to be noticably slower. when i remove the cai duct loud exhaust again and more take off. anyone else experience this. any possible suggestions, yes i reset the ecu.

btw i do not intend by any means for this thread to be a crack on the quality of this product, quite the contrary i feel this is an excellent pproduct i may just have something going wrong.

 

......how are the dyno numbers (can't get em cause no airflow on the CAI)? Seat of the pants buttometer? If you want noise get an HKS....

 

I wouldn't attribute less sound to loss of power at all.

 

i under stand that less noise is not neccesarily less power but the car feels less powerful with the cai.

 

are you running a different filter?

 

stock filter, still waiting for jr.
