Thats around 10%... I know jim will say differently too but there aee ways around the stock ab as i described.

Dyno results - PT Forums - The PT Cruiser Enthusiasts and Owners Resource Notice the thread starter's name? Good enough for me, especially since, as Kennebell noted, all car manufacturers do provide a closed intake system for a very good reason. I think people use an open intake because they look full race and sound cool. Enjoy your ride.
