This is a question that I asked many times but received no answer.

Let's not let this spin into another Injen vs. CP-e debate. (As much as I would like to see that answer. ) We should donate funds to Jeff - aka PXL so he can dyno his current setup before install and then install the CP-e at the shop. The install should be done quickly to keep similar ambient conditions yet allowing proper cool down.

So please start a new thread since this one is already spinning out into a Y-pipe discussion. LOL

PXL will be the first owner of both. And we've never had a head to head dyno on the same car, and I've never seen Injen track results, only cp-e. So PXL's butt dyno will be interesting. He's had Injen for long enough (1 yr maybe) that any change will be pretty noticeable.

(Sound is the only comparison we've had... cp-e is deeper)

To all others: Mike (Down2TheC) and I tried a couple years ago. (7/05) He had the CP-e installed and I had my Injen. We dyno'd his car with CP-e and then his car with the Injen intake and the CP-e customizer disabled. Unfortunately there was a technical issue with either the dyno data or the MAF customizer. I can't remember which. In other words, we couldn't get a good comparison. Bummer. This is why I strongly recommend Jeff to dyno the Injen first and then CP-e with the customizer.

Jeff, we're committing you already. LOL.

I dynoed mine stock...and with the CP-e intake (last April) but the AFR for 2006 V6 model wasn't like '04-'05...it's why I went to MD to let them tuned their chip for '06 model...so I cannot tell more also

Well, I only ask since I am going to do a exhaust cut off on the Gen2, Might as well get the Intake with the MAF chip (or whatever it is), and get in on this group buy for the y-pipe.

Exhaust cut off? Please elaborate.

Example... Its a G, but you get the point.

Video 2: Open and revving...

I can tell you CPE kicks the crap out of the HKS CAI I had.

What are all the benefits of exhaust cut off ? I never heard about that !

by **Down2TheC** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:02 pm

Dude that's awesome. It's like removing your muffler at will! Isn't CHiP gonna be all over ya?

And the '05 Dyno quest was goofed because I didn't know how to properly bypas the customizer at the time. cp-e did the install and used a power source different from the final instruction sheet. So I was hooking 12V to the MAF sig. d'oh!

Jeff could put arg to rest though. Once you're installed and happy you can go from cp-e to injen in minutes. So no major install effort on the dyno. If you have a paypal, I'll chip in for the dyno time. Read my intall tips in the tut section so you hook it up with reverting to stock in mind.

when I had just the Y pipe and nothing after my car felt damn slow.

Far away to be an exhaust pro...but a balance in the pressure of the exhaust system is important to keep the intake sucking force, isn't it ?
