And not my opinion... That's why we don't scare a car.lol
Actually, on the list of reasons me and you don't share a car I'm pretty sure thats near the bottom.

Perhaps. And yes I have trifecta tune, I mentioned that earlier how I logged it and they said it was fine

I really like the Spectre intake in the OP. Dig it.
Exactly.
My personal preference is leaving well enough alone until you are prepared to do it right.
Part of which is supporting companies that dump metric tons of money into development so that these cars can benefit from a thriving aftermarket.
I'll be doing the everything stock plus E85 conversion for our 1.4 atx hatch.
Later on. We will invest in the necessary areas to make the car more lively a little at a time.
Main goal is fun with the least amount of money and easy warranty work.

then you would see a big jump in power with the ZZP as it is a larger diameter pipe. and no where near as restrictive as the rubber tubing used on the stock intake mod.

I would love to do e85, especially for $285, i just can't get e85 anywhere close

Yeah. I have at least 6 stations in a 10 mile radius.
Long trips I'll just flash to the 93 tune.
With the transparency mode, I'll just leave it on for service unless its a big problem. Then I'll swap injectors and factory tune for the visit.
100k power train is to good to waste. Half the reason we bought the car.

This. This. This. This. This.
You don't see a 10HP difference? Do you have a ZZP intake?

Funny you mention that because Stratton does, and yet this was on his car when he ran his 1/4 mile marginally faster than anybody else...

I'm not saying its better, bc it's not, I'm just saying I don't think there's that much of a difference

And what does he have now?

I feel as though I made it clear that he started using the zzp because he bought it before he made the custom, but they took a couple months to get it to him.

That was my point, hell im running an RNI myself but trust in the fact that an actual intake like the ZZP will net you better gains, they just flow better.

I believe you.. I said "I'm not saying its better, bc it's not" I'm simply saying that I believe there wouldn't be much of a gain from me going from this to a zzp

Ha what a big argument geeze. Yes that was my intake before I got the zzp. The zzp intake looks way better and I'm sure the smooth bend would flow better but honestly I can't say it made any noticeable performance gain. I'm sure if you put both on a dyno the zzp would make maybe 2-3 HP more but that custom intake has a waaaayy bigger filter that's further away from the motor. So Id rather just make my own that goes down in behind the front bumper. I had no problems with that custom intake and I did run 14s with it on 93. So from a looks view yes the bought intakes will look much nicer but for less money and to get the right sound the custom intake works for less money.

Thanks but no, I'm talking about the round band that he used as a support mount on the 45 degree bend.
