ok....finally got the icebox on and dynoed compared to the aem cai

1) AEM CAI
213.9 hp
193.9 lb

2) AEM CAI
Comptech Headers
HKS Exhaust
229.1hp
202.8 lb

3) Comptech ICEBOX
Comptech Headers
HKS Exhaust
231.9 hp
207.6 lb

Dyno:

The green line is the 1st dyno. The red is the 2nd and the Blue the 3rd.
You can see the high end gain from the headers from 1st to 2nd dyno.
On the 3rd dyno, you can see where the mid-range was tuned out and there was a good gain of hp. What i noticed is that the car would get .5-1 hp from just cooling down.


My gallery has a dyno video of the AEM CAI on page 3. here:

Did you clean the AEM CAI filter when you compared to the ICE box new and clean filter?

It seems that gains are identical and with 1-2 HP. Also, you have to discard all the numbers below 3000 rpms... For example you are making no more than 190 lbft of torque...


BTW, do you have the soft version?... How about correction factors?

Looking good!

 

[Basically, you have to admit that the Icebox might be a better unit because you have equal or better gains plus, it is much easier to install. Comptech does it's research. I have made my decision about which product to buy. Thanks for your research.

 

that's not bad, not too much of a difference. Not worth me paying more for the icebox now that I have the aem.

 

Where is that shop located??

 

is this dyno 6 speed or auto?

 

It's a TL-S, so unless he did a 6 speed swap it's an auto
