Default Re: Cold air induction

i have the claw and it doesn't seem any different, but I never did a dyno check, I've also added headers and a catback so any gains I see will be a combination. I might put the stock stuff back one one day to see if there is any difference.

I would pass on spending money on the claw intake... I researched this too and found a dyno test showing 1-2 RWHP increase if any on dyno:

I have one on my car. It came with the car, so I don't know if there's any increased HP. It works just fine though. I'll sell or trade you mine if you want it, was thinking of going back to stock anyway.

That would be great. I actually only need the metal piece that goes on top. I have the plastic bottom and 2 top parts (but the 2 top parts were not the originals, think their from L98's).

I'm the one who did that dyno test, pretty sure I posted it here on this forum too way back when. Keep in mind that the claw is not a cold air intake, it takes air at the same place as the stock unit. The modified stock box didn't really show any gains either.
