Cold Air Intake

Welcome. There's been some discussion on cold air intakes on some threads here. But the general consencus is that they dont add much value really. The intakes for our vehicles are doing a mighty fine job for average user.
 
Skip out on any intake mods (including changing out the OEM air filter), unless you just want to do it for looks. Aside from a lighter wallet, you won't get any real noticeable effect from the modification.
 
I have the Stillen Gen 3 long tube intakes. I lost all the pictures i took during the install but you have to cut through the radiator core support to get them through. I felt a noticable punch with them for sure and it sounds amazing. Rip also did a similar one with the takeda g37 intake.

I have a 3.5HR motor on my 09 FX. I'm wondering if a tune with UpRev would net me some noticeable gains along with the HFCs I'll be having installed?

With Catback, HFCs, Invidia Catback, Stillen Gen 3s, and no tune I dynoed at 278whp/ 242 lb/ft torque on a dynojet. Tune wouldve got me close to 300whp/ 260 torque which are really strong numbers. However living in SoCal, a couple days after I got a State Referee ticket for "tampering with emission control". So stock cats now and I have a LOT of low end torque compared to when I had HFC.
