injen intake + extension

[Dawgz]

How much increase to Torque and HP does this give the 2000 se v6 solara?

[Mole]

nothing jaw dropping.

prob looking at around 10hp.

has anyone dynoed their before and afters yet???
someone needs to do a baseline
injen intake
and injen with extesion to see what we are really paying for.

hell for that much you may as well drop the extra 3-400 bucks and get a nitrous setup.

I've tried to explain this before but I know these messages get lost and burried in thousands of other threads. You will always see the big name CAI manufacturers post dyno sheets on their CAI and the sheet will ALWAYS claim significant gains. I would challenge that you will almost NEVER see those same gains on a before and after dyno when buying their CAI. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the CAI doesn't give good gains and that it isn't worth it. Quite the contrary, I swear by it.

The difference is, these large manufacturers know that there are many people out there who are chasing a dream dyno sheet and don't know much else about performance so they need to produce these sheets to sell. Are the sheets a lie? I don't think so, I'd consider it an exageration. They will run the before dyno with the hood closed, no fan and in the absolute worse conditions. The Short ram sucking in 200* kind of scenario. Then they install the CAI and have it picking up maybe 80-90 degree air. Do the math, that is where the dyno numbers come from.

People have reported AITs of close to 200* on a hot summer day while stopped at a light using a short ram intake. That's pretty bad. On a 90* day, I brought my car up to full operating temperature, drove around for 20 mins in stop & go traffic, then parked for 2 mins and watched the Air Intake Temerature. It never went over 100*. On the other hand, on a cool day, you will see very little to no difference in performance.

Common sense should be proof enough. You will probably never see a neck-snapping dyno sheet from using this extension. Those big companies pay people in Marketing to put stuff like that together. If Injen made the exact same extension under their name, I gurantee there would be a nice dyno sheet to go along with it. Just don't expect the same thing when you get home. Does that help? -JoeB

[Dawgz]

yea we all kinda know wat u said in the back of our heads...but yo the guy before...10hp is a pretty good increase!

[TRDCamry]

I felt a noticeable difference, but I do have a S/C.

[Paladin06Greg]

OK, I got in touch with the guys. They don't have any available right now. They will notify me when they are available and then I'll order. Couple of weeks is what I was told.

[jerold]

hmm, i just remembered that i called them a couple of weeks ago, and never heard back from them.

[krazeee1707]

I talked to them last week. They're "suppose" to send mine out on friday, when they get thiers in. Of course, they been saying things like that...and i been waiting for two months. I let u guys know if mine gets sent out on friday or not.

[Paladin06Greg]

Yea, please do let me know. They took my information and said they would call when they were available.

Under Pressure Fabrication & Distribution. They've done a lot of high profile work on other cars and been praised in a few magazines. -JoeB
