Intake help

Yeah and no, most dynos are still subject to outside temp and humidity changes. Then add in heat soak, and the fact that a car on a dyno doesn't have air forced into the bay same as a car does that is on the road. (and no putting a fan infront of the car is not the same) On top off all that, you have the dyno queens that do things like remove belts and what not w/o telling anyone they did that.

I love it when people put racing fuel on and cut the ps pump belt and ac belt and they get 15 more horsepower and brag about it.

So you're thinking of an intake manifold swap, just for an intake. No offence but if you don't know how to install an intake, then a manifold swap is a little out of your league. But hey, everything's a learning experience. If you don't have the means to do a manifold swap then just send that one back and buy an ebay intake with a k&n or AEM dryflow filter. All up to you. Best of luck if you decide to do the swap though, there are many write-ups and Y8 manifold swaps are pretty common.

I feel like it would be better to save my momey for a better engine rather than add new parts to the already shitty one hah....thanks for the offers though, im gonna give the pipe idea a go, ill get sum pics up soon.
