Thread: UPDATE Finally installed Spectre filter

Hmm well this goes to anyone who has done an intake setup like this. I never really cared to do an intake setup because the truth is on a N/A engine, you will only gain a few more HP, and that may be because the previous filter was not as clean as your new cone. (like changing a stock filter, you will get a few more HP from a new stock one) Anyway if there really is a positive sound difference, I may consider getting one. As of now, the only intake noise I hear is a sucking sound when my high idle is on. Other than that it's all just engine noise resonating through the block/exhaust system. What type of noise do you start to hear, exactly? I know it was described as a "rumble" but I'm not sure what that means. Anyway I wouldn't mind spending a bit for a better sound, is it really worth it?

Truth is a Intake won't due much in power that you can really feel. Its a SUPPORTING mods so it helps if you have some mods already done performance wise then the intake MAYBE will make a differ in power. As for the sound it makes kind of a throaty sound, hard to describe but you got to try it to see for your self. I believe making your own CAI or WAI is worth doing just for fun and for something unique for your car and the sound is pretty cool. Plus if you got a GTP or something S/C or T/C, the Intake should make them sound really cool and there can be a more power gain from those cars compared to N/A car. Try it out, its pretty cool first mod when getting into moding cars.

Just curious do you have a GT or GTP? Because installing a filter in a supercharged engine may prove to make a difference. Probably almost as much as a u-bend delete.

I agree with him^^^

When a car is T/C or S/C, every mod put into that car is going to be twice as better than in a N/A car. Thats why when modding the GP base it gives barely anything, and when modding the GTP gives it lots of power. AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME DANG ENGINE, just S/C.
