Does closed-pod CAI intake kit affect low end torque?

[Garlic]

Hi guys,

 

Read that an open pod setup is discouraged for an auto tranny as it causes low end torque to drop.

 

Does the same apply to close-pod CAI intake? Will there be an increase in sound level as well?

 

Thinking of replacing the airbox and intake with a closed-pod CAI setup.

 

Thanks

if fit those like bmc/simota closed pod

should not affect low end too much

more responsive across the entire range especially mid and high

sound definitely louder

Low end torque not significantly affected. Sound is not very loud but only slightly louder than stock.

Quite subjective,

Initially i did experience some lost in low end

But it's not that great

But the gain from mid to high (Shiok!)

Anyway the minor lost can be gained back by doing some other mods

u mentioned minor mods... may i know such as what kinda minor mods?

 

i have the e68 and the superiorone installed on my ride... so is this minor?

What material is Simonta's filter element made of? It seems like cotton sandwiched between a wire gauge.

 

Does it need oiling?

you may wanna try Cyberspeed.Same theory as BMC but about half the price.

can i do this setup while still retaining my stock air filter???

[Accordvtec]

well,you can remove the resonator from your stock air box,connect a piping to some area to draw cold air into your air box and last,put in a drop-in filter.KNN is a good choice.

If you need someone to do the above for you,I can recommend my workshop to you.

[Capman45]

Hi bro, may I know do you have the same setup as what you have mentioned?

[Garlic]

Was quoted $260 for the following inclusive of labour charges, is it reasonable?

 

1) Replacing stock airbox with Simonta carbon charger

2) CAI installation

3) Mini breather
