I don't remember mine having that many screw holes. Velocity stack is what aFe calls it. :)

Claims 20hp and 27lb-ft...idk about that...It's the same kit I have. It should take 10 minutes to install.

I had the same kit too. I swapped it for a BMW Performance intake. I did not notice any difference (decrease) in power afterward. BMW claims a 7HP gain, right?

7hp for the BMW Performance intake. I was thinking about swapping it for the BMW intake but maybe not now since people are noticing performance loss.

Yeah I say maybe 7hp at the most for the AFE, and that is only really felt at 4k and above.

The sound though, is soo worth it imo!

The aFe was definitely louder. Jim (ZSP-Mafia) has my old one. He was showing us how loud it is this past weekend. Sounds good.

This place is $75.00 for 3 pulls? Is it worth it or not? It's on my way home from work....

I would do it, not to see the difference of the intake because you will be disappointed. But I would do it for the fun of putting your car on a dyno :)

Thanks Dane!

I'm determining myself if I want to get a aFe...let me know how it goes Dane
danewilson77
03-09-2011, 08:02 AM
OK...will do.

I would guess that I might be around 210rwhp after intake....but would be ecstatic with 215rwhp....

I think we sit around 200 with all stockies.

Please post vids after install! I would love to hear how this sounds.

03-09-2011, 10:34 AM
OK...The lady at the dyno place said I could rent it out at $125.00 per hour......so......I am hoping to roll in with my stock setup.....do 2 pulls, swap out with the AFE then do 2 more pulls, and compare. I hope I can do in an hour.
Marcus-SanDiego

Bring John with you. He can dyno his as well and help offset your costs.

03-09-2011, 11:48 AM
Naaa...he doesn't get out too much. Never stops by. Won't even come get free parts from me or nothing......

Do a test fit of the AFE at home before you go to the dyno place.

Let's do it. I just didn't want to impose on you living near me. I am always looking to help or get some help/motivation.

How about I pay 75 and get mine dyno'd with AFE and Shark, and John get his stockie dyno'd.....the we'll know the diff. I have a feeling once the AFE goes on...it ain't coming off.
