Ask how i know.
yah im not gonna lie. kind of a sucker for the sound. and i did remove the weather stripping on my c32 to make it louder. its just too much of a sleeper without that sound sometimes for me. if i did this, i wouldnt really expect gains on top of the full 55 intake, just the addition of the sound.
with regards to the code3 intake providing performance gains, didnt they show dyno results of it putting down some power?
