I recently removed my charcoal filters from my air box...everything seems to be ok...just want to get other comments on any adverse effects....the butt dyno seems to tell me that its an improvement...comments!!

TREZ63

No negatives here yet. What numbers are you putting down ?

Bluemax

No problems at all. Feels stronger throught the entire range.

So whats the next mod for the 63 trezaei? Were waiting

No big numbers here (I have no idea what I'm doing though). My first outing at the track I did a 12.5 (about 1-2 months ago). I went on Tues. and my best was 12.7. I dunno

I really don't know....just a butt dyno tells me its stronger....here in Tennessee (Ohio native )...there are very few tracks and even fewer tuners...now if I wanted to go to a circle track....I would have a good choice!!

Do you think that slight loss was from the charcoal mod, or just fate?

TREZ63

I would say that so far the biggest factor determining how well the car is going to perform at any given time for me has been how I have been driving it the 30 minute prior to the event.

Best 0-60 I have had on my G-Timer was 4.02 a couple of days ago. But then this morning after about 10 minutes of very slow poke driving I did another 0-60 and I got 4.85 which is ****, and that was after a throttle reset (which I am not sure took)

Anyway, if you have a G-Timer or similar device you'll be able to get a good idea what you can do. But 12.5 is pretty solid for stock car. What do E55s do 1/4 when stock?

e55'S DO FROM 11.80'S - 12.+

xabo

Don't know. I do know that it was about 30-40 degrees cooler the first time out.

05VENOM

Around the same..mid 12's..at least from the people I know who own them and have run them STOCK!

Fikse

there is a big range, but with a good launch and weather, high 11's have been done in stock E55's....

I have not tracked my E63 at all but I agree that the car feels stronger with the filters removed. No adverse effects so far.

Should I put them back in when I take the car in for the scheduled maintenance?

There is a slim to none chance of the service reps finding out that you have taken them out. They would NEVER look there.

Gents, the filter is only used in the US models to pass EPA requirements. They are not found in the European models, so there would not be any adverse effect to your engine if you took them out.

Sorry for OT..
I run 12.5-12.6consistently bone stock, with a little better technique, I could probably get it down a couple more tenths. I have 2 videos of me to back it up, if anyone wants to see I will post them.

pterion

That is kind of what I figured...

So.. whats the next mod??????

Good to know that about everyone seems to share the same results as I do....but I will save the filters just in case.
