That would be a "no."

Unfortunately, most people don't want to bother dynoing before-after a single modification. And I don't know of any dyno sheets that RRM has. It's all kind of guesswork at this point.

thats ok, I am going to go for a few pulls to test;

stock configuration
RRM SRI
a modified SRI
a crude custom CAI
and intake manifold changes.

I just wanted some dynos for reference and to see what dyno machines we used to make the tests more uniform.

post when the tests are done

This is everything we know. One stock run on a dyno I've never heard of, one modified run, and a Youtube video with questionable results.
Data is here.

Anything you come up with, please let me know and I'll add it to that thread.

2.5". I think I posted that already, but I'm too tired to look.

I think the fuel maps need to be reset to feel the difference, took it for a romp today and man you can feel the difference with just the SRI and Exhaust

Put in a heat shield, and must say that it improves it even more, the temp is cooler on the filter (just going by the hand test) and the noise is even better.

see pics

my buddy and me made it this weekend. He modeled it off one he bought for his Volvo. He works for an aircraft maintenance place at the airport here so we used their crap.

I think APC made his for his volvo

Yeah with work and that, this could be kind of tough. My buddy made a alternator cover for his Volvo 740 and I saw his heat shield for his intake and took it off and copied it essentially.

It is this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/UNIVE...QQcmdZViewItem


I emailed my buddy about making a few, but I have the feeling he will say no just because we are only really into doing it with people or with our cars. Not mass production and selling them.

I THINK it helps, I cant really tell you how much the filter was exposed to heat before, but after, the heat shield barely warms up and the filter feels cool on my hand. Also anyone with an intake knows what I mean, when I say my car has a name. Chewi! I'll see if I can get a audio clip of it
