I really need to get a tune by Bama or Brenspeed. My canned tune from the SCT Strategy Flash is ok, but I am getting about 2mpg worse on the highway than I was stock. Ugh. More $$ that I don't have...

 

Everybody seems to be throwing off on the Steeda, but I was wondering if anyone has tried it with the HiFlow inlet elbow? My local shop says they are getting great results with it and a dyno tune. I'm leaning toward that for my 08. Will the C&L with a dyno tune do better? Also, what's the difference between the racer and the street on the C&L other than the aluminum v. plastic inlet tube? Which provides better power?

 

The C&L street intake I believe makes slightly better numbers; somewhere around 3 to 4 ponies more I think. But don't hold me to that. It is really more about what you are looking for... The racer intake is more suitable if you are going to add nitrious.

 

The Steeda is a good system. Great design and quality, lots of people like that system. Some added the elbow and felt a small difference, one put it on the dyno and it didn't do squat. So the elbow results are still mixed.

I switched from the C&L Street to the Steeda for looks, fit and finish and I'm happy with the Steeda. I had Brenspeed hook me up with an updated tune and couldn't feel any difference between the two intakes.
