As a lot of you know I was working on a an new version of the L_Intake (Stage 2) that would have used a Cone K&N Filter and heatshield, replacing the Stock Airbox setup that is now offered.
Well after fabricating one, complete with the shield and doing some test runs, this is what happened.
There is no gain to be had over using the Stage 1 intake. It seems the Stage 1 gives the 3.2/3.5L engine all the air it could want. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times did not change at all with the Stage 2 Intake. Cost is also a big issue if it had been worth it, but at over $300 it would not be cost effective.
So the deal is, Im staying with the Stage 1 system only, but I do recommend the K&N filter for the stock airbox. (when using the Stage 1)
