MORE Perf. CAK-Well worth it!!

Thanks for a great product. This kit really makes a difference. I drive my car almost everyday and it's "breakin' loose" in places it did not before. The intake noise is enhanced, and it doesn't have that State trooper Ba-whooop air sound. The engine is more responsive than before, and it definately rapps quicker. A word of caution to those who will get it, MAKE SURE IT CLEARS THE HOOD BEFORE YOU SLAM IT SHUT!!. Mine needed a little bending before the hood shut properly. I never slam the hood. Good thing, because it might have torqued' it. Thanks again for a great product. I hope to get time to 1/4 mile it in a couple of weeks.

Yea, I am glad someone else tried there CAK, and posted there impression of it. Know I now I am not alone on how much better the car performes. I can hardly wait untill Corsa gets the exhaust done. That should be a big improvement also.

I had my cold air kit put on my "V" yesterday and want to thank Amber and Mike for their assistance. The kit took about 15 minutes for the install and is very well engineered to fit without any problems. For those of you having hood issues just make sure you get all of the rubber / foam insulation from the front grill area. The pulleys are close to the edge of the box but still have ample clearance so this was not a problem. I am sure that More Performance maximized the box for the most volume available.
Just for a seal test I applied some marking chalk on the inside of the rubber seal and closed the hood gently. You could see the outline of the seal on the underside of the hood and it seals very well all around. This seal requires that most of the air be introduced through the front grill rather than the small intake area the factory provided.
The air kit definitely adds some better engine sound to the car under hard acceleration but is barely noticeable when at idle.
It adds to the engine pull from around 2500 rpm through redline.
It is definitely worth the price for what I think I feel in the "Seat of your pants power adder"
I hope some of the 1/4 mile guys do a before and after and post the results.
Good product and highly recommended.

Anyone have any results on MPG over the road and around town with the kit installed?

Better? Worse?

Just put mine and what a noticable difference in performance of the car!

I'd like to know what happens to gas milage if anything...thanks

I wish there were more air filter setups available. The More performance once looks very nice but I'm not sure if I should wait for the Lingenfelter one.

I'll meet ya on the side of the L.I.E. to check yours out. :coolgleam

Anyone do a before/after dyno to check out the air/fuel ratio?

Wait for StealthV... he's been teasing us on his for the last few weeks.

Yea I forgot to mention him too. I'm pleased with the CAGS eliminator so I'd most likely go with another one of his products. If I saw pics of his it would help me make up my mind.

joshdctsv · #11 (**permalink**) 08-29-04, 12:21 AM

No problem if you want to - just let me know and we will hook up - Bald Hill Tuesday??

GNSCOTT · #13 (**permalink**) 08-29-04, 11:09 AM

I still don't get it? If you run the car with no filter you may pick up 8hp.

What and where is Bald Hill? I've heard it mentioned before but know nothing about it.

It is off exit 63N on the LIE - every tuesday night there are about 3-400 cars that show up and park in the parking lot for a "car show"
Every year, make and model you can think of, old, new custom, race cars , cars for sale, etc. Several hundred people would be there each night, looking at the cars, hanging out. Many of the car clubs go and park together.
$5 for admission - goes to the local fire department as a fund raiser.
Some really nice cars there. You should go at least once to to check it out.
