Cold Air Intake

Wow,

Highly recommend this for anyone that has a turbo. Sounds great and gives an added boost..

K&N Chrysler PT Cruiser Typhoon Intake System 03-06 2.4L Turbo - AutoTruckToys.com

I'm not really sure what to buy next. I really don't want to get the performance chips because you have to run a higher octane. Other than grabbing a better exhaust what do you guys think?

Thanks

I understand the sound is cooler, but please explain to me how it gave you an added boost. You actually gained 2-5 hp, which is impossible to feel, but the sad part is you actually lose double digit numbers of torque. Here's some nice info.

You can't believe everything a manufacturer says. I've seen more than one PT dyno of an open intake vs a closed one and they have all been pretty much like the dyno link I posted. Kenne Bell is a very respected player in the performance sector so I believe them.

Yup,

Mean Grean is right. Check out this link http://www.kennebell.net/techinfo/do.../ptcruiser.pdf

It's ok was only a $220.00 dollar waste.

Nah, look on the bright side. It does look full race and cool as hell. As long as you are not trying to squeeze every bit of hp/tq out of your car. Under noral driving conditions you won't notice as much difference.

You could always sell it. Most people don't care as long as it looks cool.

Actually, I'm going to try to extend it a bit and put the cone filter behind my bumper.

Either that or I'm going to try to build a box around the filter and put a port near the fender wall.
