Okay i took off my cold air extention on my hatch and when i did that it felt as though i was going faster with it OFF... and what i dont' get is isn't cold air suppost to make you go faster with more hp and tq than short ram? i was just wondering if anyone knows why it would be faster than cold air intake?

My friend said cuz it can get air to the engine faster... any ideas? i found this very very weird. also with the short ram its LOUDER.

 

the cold air intake is faster, you must be mistaken

 

Short ram's give a crisper throttle response,that will explain the feeling of going faster.Not only that they amplify the motors sound and make it sound more aggresive.

 

and also it was faster cuz my rpm's were shooting up faster than normal and i was up to the same speed faster than with cold air on.

 

It's already mighty cold in MN. Less restriction > more air > more power.

 

but i have felt it in the summer also. i just don't know why it is faster...

 

The butt dyno is not always accurate.

 

Haha the butt dyno is almost never accurate.I mean really,your talking about maybe,MAYBE, 2hp.The reason it may feel faster is that it hits a little harder and sounds a little better.

 

totally
I doubt it was much faster, espically off the line. It might be around the same speed once your get moving and air gets flowing through the engine bay. It prolly just sounds louder and grabs faster, so you think it is faster, but its not really.

 

rpm's shooting up faster than Cold air.
