Default And yet another Darintake test for those interested.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/79060/darintake_mod_test.jpg"></center><p>
Did the mod this weekend and can't really tell a difference however throttle response seems to have improved and up top seems a little better. improvement of about 10 g/s from 5000 rpms and up...also, still using stock filter. I'm going to try a ghetto version of a stage II darintake next weekend using my old Honda cone filter intake. BTW, this was a third gear pull. I'm sure 4th gear pull would get even more air.

Does the car seem to ride more smooth by any chance?

Default I had to pull out the MBC because there were leaks around some of the joints. I need to figure out..

a better place to put the MBC and route tubing there. There was too much bending going on and one joint was leaking. I'm running OK with no MBC though.

Default haha.. I also did the Darintake mod yesterday. I can tell a slight difference...

in throttle response but I have the S-flo / Darintake combo. One thing's for sure, the air sucking sound coming from the intake between shifts has become a lot louder.
