I am thinking of trying the CFM Plus intakes, but wanted to get some opinions on it first. Whos got them? How do you like it? How do they comepare to the ATS intake?
The guys that are going to see the difference are the ones moving the the "air" . This intake is a more free flowing than the rest and it's not a big block of aluminum to act as a heat sink. I have noticed lower EGT's
I have had one on my truck for a few weeks now. I immediately noticed much lower EGTs and much quicker turbo spool up. I can feel a power increase. I initially ran it with the stock airbox, muffler delete, and Quadzilla standard box. Previously I had to watch the EGTs even on the 60hp setting. Now they are almost 200 degrees lower and that setting is no concern now. The 100 hp setting was almost unusable but works fine now, long uphill pulls can creep up to 1500 but it used to just peg the needle after a couple seconds.
It arguably made a much bigger difference than the CAI system I added the next day. Though the CAI made the turbo nicely audible
Overall, I am very impressed with it. Just comparing the stock one and the CFM+ it is easy to see the HUGE improvement in flow. Quicker spool up and lower EGTs are definately benefits of this part. It allows me to use the power adder more, which is the whole idea right?:-laf
