Can't say I'm surprised. I was debating clicking on this in order to be overly disappointed, but actually, this wasn't too shocking. Please, nobody post alpha numbers cuz I don't wanna know!

 

subscribed too, very interesting

 

i cant justify cold air intake and exhaust to make it sound meaner alone lol it has to be performance enhancing

 

*bump* Any updates?

 

Not yet, still upgrading things and I've taken on another project in the mean time so it may be awhile still.

 

Thanks for posting this, I am very curious to see your progress

 

Update?

 

Nope, it's going to be a little bit yet.

 

This thread is the classic example of how a little bit of information creates broad assumptions from many people who do not understand what the info is?

Brodie's dyno info is #s for one vehicle 08 H3 on one date. The 08 has a panel filter, the earlier models use a canister. One dyno comparing clean filters is interesting, but hardly writes the book.

We flow tested 9 filters with the stock panel, and 13 canister filters. First clean, then after 10,000 miles. The clean OEM panel flows pretty well, but EVERY performance panel flows more air. The clean canister does not do as well compared to its performance counterparts.

IMHO if you plan on a full mod package, a filter is a good place to start to build in more airflow to enhance those mods. I do agree that if the only mod you are considering is just a filter, you won't be accomplishing much, except if you buy a washable filter, you won't have to buy another one.

Always keep in mind, a guy with lower dyno numbers can still be faster on the ground than the guy with a bigger number on paper.

 

Next time my doctor ask me why my blood pressure is up I'm going to tell him it's because of Jeff.
