Got mine today looks great! Sorry about the violin symbol. Have no ideal how that got on there. I got to figure out if I want a metal color or going to do red.

Im hoping to pull 25 hp by this mod, plus doing the secondary delete pipe, and I made a custom airbox.

Pretty dang amazing

Ben006 · 09-24-2016, 08:13 PM

Nice

Did you smooth it before painting it?

achillies · 09-25-2016, 07:32 AM

Are you still testing or are they for sale?

Ben006 · 09-25-2016, 08:04 AM

I'm waiting for the testers to give me their feedback on the installation, in case I need to modify something to make them easier to fit.

Hi Ben,
I was out of town till today. Opened up the package and everything looks great! A very quality piece you've designed and created.

I'll update with pics soon. hope to install in the next week or so.

Ben006 · 09-29-2016, 03:32 PM

Glad that you like it

I can't wait to hear from you! Quick quick!

I have been building a custom fiberglass airbox. I really don't want to, but I must. I'm also using a evo fresh air intake. Curious if the oem tube fits around the throttle body

A week might be too soon to let the ECM fully adjust to the plenum. try 3 weeks.

eddy · 09-29-2016, 07:53 PM

or how much driving? would like to move it along quickly

madmodz · 09-29-2016, 07:57 PM

I have read on here it takes a little time to fully let the ecm adjust to the new accessories. You wouldn't get a true reading dynoing the next day.

mavis.d · 10-01-2016, 07:48 AM

Mine arrived today

Go away for 12 days tomorrow

but

Yes, it takes at least a week.
You will feel it when driving, the idle will be stable and you should feel an improvement.

I started the install today and had to re-read all 14 pages here. First mistake I made, is not realize that there is o-ring. No wor.ies, got to get some silicone or gasket maker. 2nd mistake is that I have not purchased the 3" intake tube and silicone elbows.

madmodz · 10-03-2016, 12:20 AM

Size matters! Though I haven't had a chance to test due to other mods, there is no doubt I'm going to pull at the least 20hp making it the best bang for your buck item.
That's 996 TB vs 986 TB

I did my baseline dyno run today. All stock, desnorkeled. three runs, best hp was 223, best tq was 196. will get started on install later this week/early next and do a follow up dyno once the computer has had a chance to figure it out.

Meir · 10-03-2016, 10:03 AM
