EC98GTcnvrtble · 05-06-2002, 02:12 PM

Hey Guys!! I'm thinking about going bigger on ther maf, maybe a c&l, or a pro, the only other mods I have are the pulleys, k&n filter, will I see much difference in my hp, or should I also change out the stock mufflers? Is it worth the $$, thks!!

You will see a "slight" performance increase in the top end with a new MAF....

New mufflers will give you no horsepower, but will give you a different sound.

It all depends on what you want more...

A new mass air is good if you get new injectors. I'm installing 24 lb/h injectors and a MAF calibrated for 24 lb/h injectors. If you have a pretty stock car, the existing MAF will do just fine but some people say they gain more. If you check the SHM web site they have an item by item dyno and the MAF got a HP increase of 1.
