Does this product increase horsepower? My daughters car is quite slow on take-off, especially with the AC on,

No it is designed to flow through and clean the cat converter. Frankly, it didn't do anything for my car.

I would not expect it to increase horsepower. It may by chance or good luck increase power a little but my understanding is that it's a maintenance kind of product for helping to keep the converter clean. Not a solution to a convert that's in bad shape. When a catalytic converter gets plugged you have a significant decrease in power and replacing the converter will return the car to what is normal for the car given its age and condition. But I doubt this stuff would be able to clean out a plugged converter, if the problem is the converter.

I haven't had any luck with it, but if you want try a bottle of Lucas fuel injection cleaner, that stuff works good.

I am not an expert but I do have an above average understanding of engines and power. Ultimately an engine can only create so much horsepower based on the size of the engine. If you have seen a dramatic loss of horsepower which was not a problem before then you are better off spending your money on a proper engine diagnostic by a mechanic. This product, in my humble opinion, will not achieve the desired results you are looking for.

No it doesn't but you wont get much of gain from it the factory air box is better. The Skunk 2 alpha header will free up horsepower cause are cars have two cats. I have a PRL cold air intake which relocates the battery but the cold air is down. I change out the plastic intake manifold to RBC which was a mistake because I lost a lot of low end torque. If I were you get header, cat-bac, flashpro, and tune by vitviper. You will get 205-210 whp stock only make 180 whp. I would stay away from any intake that's under the hood to much heatsoak.

Maybe letting more air in will increase mpg slightly but it's mainly for adding power. Sounds awesome and u feel the car pull more.

Yes. Your MPG will increase and you will feel the difference in acceleration.

No.This fan is a low airflow fan.This fan only cools my 4 cylinder truck without the ac on.To cool with ac I had to add a second fan.To cool a v6 you will need a high flow fan of at 3000 cfm.Those clucth fans flow a ton of air hence the lost engine horsepower.

It will make a performance upgrade but at close to 4000 Rpms you'll feel a little more power , but with cold air intake it's usually good to put throttle body spacer mass airflow sensor and other intake upgrades to go along with your k and n cold air intake

If you have increased Tire size it will also take away some Torque, but yes, this will most certainly increase performance. Remember to reset it back to towing mode if you are towing it also has a performance mode, plus a fuel economy mode, i do like mine it does make a difference also a K&N; cold air intake will help improve your performance as well.

It will give a gain in power to help with towing you may see an increase in mpg as long as driving style stays the same it dose have a programs from towing on it or like me a cold air intake and from what I can tell is it has helped with going up will not shifting as much and still getting 19 unloaded and about 15 with the bed full of wood

The HP gains are minimal with just the intake. It sounds a little tougher, runs a little smoother. Once you get started on the MODS you put something on you need something to compliment it for it to work. This intake brings a lot more air in so you will need an upgrade in the exhaust, stock pipes won't let as much out. If you have updated your exhaust you will see up to 20 ponies added! Will also make you sound like a true muscle car. I did both on my RT and very happy but not satisfied. Now have the next upgrade to compliment these two upgrades! Hope that helps. Good luck. Have fun

The intercooler itself will not increase power. You can actually have a power loss if using the factory turbo. You will also notice an increase in lag over the factory top mount by 200-300rpm. Once installed, you will need to have th veiicle tuned in order for it to run properly.

It sounds like you need to adjust the regulator. There should be a black knob on the regulator that you can pull out then turn to increase or decrease the air flow.

I cant say i have seen an increase in hp it does soubd great though as for the install really easy driveway install the muffler clamps right into place no problem only thing is you are going to want to adjust the trumpet tips on the end mine were not even after install and thats easy as well just loosen the bolt adjust and tighten install is less than one hr no need to weld.

Anytime you increase horsepower in an engine you stand to abuse the tranny, rear-end, and tires along with everything else in the suspension. It really depends on your personal driving habits. If it's a Ford 7.3 you're driving, I saw a terrific increase in power with my 96 F350 with the 100 HP kick. A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. Would have liked to have seen better mileage but only have a single 4 inch exhaust out. My drive habits did not see an increase in mileage if not lost some. A friend of mine drives a 2001 or 2 Ford Exabition with this programmer and has increased his mileage 20-25%.

I would recommend you getting a tune. The factory tunes run lean as it is so I would seriously advise you to install a tune to compensate for added air flow

lol maybe like 1 mpg avg . another thing is lost bottom end power but gained mid -high. I guess its got something to do with how the comp is programmed for stock intake diff air /fuel mix. im goin to try programmer to see if mpg improves.

None, after running it for a while, what fealt like a gain was not, dyno showed same results a a drop in performance filter. Also mileage dropped, to 25 mpg from 29 mpg. I recently returned car back to stock, power is the same, fuel economy back up. Only positive thing about this unit is price, and sound. I had the Mopar unit, prior to this, and a K&N; as well, money wise, lesson learned just buy a K&N; replacement filter and save some time and money. On a side note if you are looking for bling and nice tone from engine, then the unit is worth it.

It does add some power. But you have to have a turner. I put this product and a h&s; turner with dpf delete and throttle response and power are awesome. My turner is not turner up much either.
