recently i sent my honda accord (before any of you say it, i know, real sporty
) to the crusher as every push of the gas yeilded another cry for help from the miled out engine. on that car i had a cold air intake that actually put my filter in the front bumper. that meant about 3-3 and a half feet of intake pipe. when i drove it to the wrecker i pulled the intake piping to use on another project and drove it down with no intake whatsoever, just an open throttle body. seat of the pants felt a drastic decrease in torque (although that car didnt have much torque to lose) but an increase in throttle response, particularly at high rpm. so the long winded question is, do you think you gain a small amount of torque with the longer pipe vs silver xjs short ram pipe?
Are you going to give him a Christmas treat or has he had enough treats already? I've treated my Jeep to a spit & polish.
