Maxima Forums - View Single Post - FYI: Going to dyno : Midpipe vs stock res. 3.5L

*NmexMAX* · 02-03-2005, 07:30 AM

Just going to do a little comparison between the cheap intakes tomorrow (Fri 2/4).

Probably do about 4 runs

Stock - Baseline
GAB (coat hangar) only
F/C midpipe only
F/C midpipe + GAB

Personally I like the GAB only.

With just the midpipe and no GAB, it doesn't seem like anything has been done, not even sound difference, very minmal if any added sound, and with intakes, you know, can hardly ever feel them.

With the GAB + midpipe, it's too loud, just as loud if not louder than a 3.0L JWT hybrid w/ USIM, too loud for my tastes.
