For those of you with a CAI, any loss of low-end?

I feel like I've lost a tiny bit of low-end torque with my headers.

Anyone experience this with the CAI, specifically from removing the resonator?

I don't think I have from either, but then I don't have a very sensitive butt dyno!

I know Mike has three dynos of his car: 1) baseline, 2) with headers and 3) with headers and CAI

I don't think he lost any torque anywhere.

I added the headers, CAI, and sways all at the same time and low end, mid, and high improved. I notice that I barely have to touch the pedal now to cruise at 2000 rpm on the freeway. I expect even better gas mileage. (No low end loss, but AEM CAI added)

None, and none should be expected.

Manu times people feel something is lost when the higher rev HP increases. It is typically a matter of perception of the increase in power.
