I have 2016 with the magna flow axle back. I run the AFE cold air intake with 5 filter (dry). The 5 runs at %89 efficiency. The 7 (oiled) runs %94. As for air draw it has two openings. One that is block able in .2 seconds with a rubber plug, it faces the hood gap. It literally draws the same as the OE between the fender and hood. I love this unit but it will be a crap to clean my filter as the way it goes together. All the clamps (4) must be removed along with the intake tube to remove the filter. Blah. Ingen was my second choice but ingot a good deal on this one and i am very happy with it. The throttle response is much crisper. That is about my inly gain so far but i have not done a tune yet.

 

Well according to the Canadian photographer throttle response can only be changed by a programmer. But I do agree with you.

 

It is very slight but i am very in tune to my vehicles as i drive for a living. I want to do a flashpaq but i do not want to send my ecu in. Blah.

 

If you reduce the restriction on the intake side of the engine it is easier for the piston to draw air in which reduces the energy required potentially saving fuel (depends on driving habits and how they may change for the cool sound factor). Same applies to the exhaust. The reason headers work is they help scavenge the exhaust gasses from the next events as they draw a vacuum at the collector making it easier to push the exhaust out of the cylinder which frees up hp to turn the wheels or requires less fuel for the same hp.

In AZ is high water wheeling really a concern?

Yes, there are cases where the oil from the element affected the sensor, many in fact, so a dry filter that is washable and reusable is better, as long as it removes enough of the particles as either the OEM (good) or performance oiled (not as good as OEM) or enough to make you comfortable. If it is as efficient at particle capture as the OEM it will need to have a much larger surface area to flow better (same with oiled) which is why they either have a lot of pleats or they don't capture as much.

 

Thanks for the info.

High water is not a huge factor in AZ. Just the responsibility in me coming out. And after watching an unfortunate accident many years ago by someone else, frankly if I don't know how deep it is, i don't go in. That said, I like mud and a huge issue in AZ is dust.

Re oiled filter. I have been running an oiled KN drop in for 2 years, with no issues (and I have cleaned /re-oiled once)

 

You don't have to send your ECU in. The Flashpaq plugs int to the OBDll port and you follow the instruction to program yourself.

 

Question don't know a lot about tuners. I know that Flashpaq can change a lot of settings similar to procal, but also include change shift points on automatics... If you have a manual transmission, what are the benefits of the tuner?

 

On 15-16 models it requires an ECU unlock. It sucks but it does. Check there website or call them. Trust me i do my research.

 

It all depends what level of tuner you get. The flashcal can change shift point, rubi acle lock in 4wd hi, tire size etc. the flashpaq actually offers tunes. Timing variations, ignition variations, furl amounts etc. huge difference between the two. One is $150 and the other is $500. 15-16 require ECU unlock at superchips. They offer ann ECU swap or three days to overnight there then overnight back.

 

So on 2014 with Flashpaq, you don't need ECU unlock? Can you easily reset back to stock if needed?
