tooter's manifold adventure...

Some pics with the air filter removed...



You can see how close the throttle body and MAF sensor are to the stack.


And heres a video of the engine running...

There's not much intake noise even with the camera stuck up close. In the beginning the ECU was fishing around for an idle mixture trying to adjust to the open intake, but found its equilibrium by the end of the video.

Intake noise is really only apparent at WOT under load. Sitting still at idle generates nothing. Sitting still and punching the throttle only produces a brief sucking sound. Out on the road, WOT is what makes them growl, which btw, cannot be heard with anything but the oem exhaust installed.

Yes, I found that out when I did some flat out runs on the freeway last week, in preparation for the dyno tune. Could hear a slight roaring sound over the exhaust at wide open throttle.

In normal driving it's just as quiet as the stock air box... which makes the little lady happy.
