UPD Cold Air Induction Kit M278
Hey guys,
Just installed my new performance intake by one of the long time members here, Shardul and his company Ultimate Performance Design.
I don't have any dyno numbers, but I have driven it for a few days now and can definitely feel better throttle response and you can feel it just breathes better. Butt Dyno says it has more power, LOL.
Installation was super easy and it looks pretty cool. However, I may paint it black for ease of Smog passing.
But I'm happy with the purchase and happy to support a really cool guy.

UPD intake, straight through now.

Your butt needs re-calibration. Your car is likely making no more power at all with just an aftermarket CAI. The sweeter intake sound is likely throwing you off. Spend $800 or so on a tune to get some real power increase and check back with us.
