Thinking about taking out the drop in k&n air filter and buying the k&n FIPK and a aut plate any thoughts on this....

Do it. Here was my old setup, I completely re-did it since then and now have a PRM intake and APR carbon cooling plate.

I'm not so much into the sound of an aftermarket intake, and I really dont prefer messing with good enough but this Fl heat is putting a damper on my acceleration if any one has any better ideas on curing heat soak or another issue at hand I'd love to hear it. Also what if I just get a aut plate and leave the drop in k&n ? Sigh*

manny

what exactly is heat soak??

I currently have the FIPK on right now and thinking about adding the AUT cooling plate soon.

I doubt it'll make much or any performance differences at all with the plate, I'm just doing it since theres such an empty space now with the FIPK installed and the plate just makes it look more complete in my opinion. So basically just for looks

Oh I love the FIPK tho, great sound. Performance, a tad tad bit difference, however since its summer time in Vegas. I Noticed less heat soak so far...

heat soak is when the intake sucks in hot air from the engine bay which cause you to lose hp and tq

this is why i got the aem v2 cai haha

manny

yeah i had an aem v2 but couldnt stand being scared of sucking in water! so i got FIPK and it sounded great and felt more power, and now i have a comptech and feels even better
