intake path laughs

[fallknox]

so i was just reading up the laws on forums for intake mods in queensland aka enclosed pod filters and i stumbled across this

"Waste of time anyway...
Have a closer look into the subject and find loads of examples where you actually LOSE power by fiddling with the intact path... After all, the factories engineers only have millions of dollars and degrees etc... theres no way they know as much as your average backyard bogan..."

made me laugh abit

Some cars intakes aren't the best they can be though
Most are pretty average

The reason why you can actually upgrade the pipe is because the manufacturer have to modify it so it isnt too noisy amongst other more technical things.

The CE lancer has an intake muffler on it to stop noise and i believe some remove it and put a whole new pipe for new power.

However 9 out of 10 its done completely wrong by the Diy'er

^this, It wouldn't surprise me on just normal cars that the intakes are an almost afterthought. When it comes to high end cars though, Astons, Porsche, etc, it wouldn't surprise me if they are the best possible... almost..
