OK I know D series and power don't really happen w/o some major work, this is just a small write up for who ever cares to read about 2 intakes I just happened to notice a difference.
First off my car is a 95 dx 5 spd, mostly stock just a budget header and 2-1/4" straight pipe to a basic muffler ( not the stock one, nor flashy )
I ripped out the entire air box and b/s to free up space about 2 years ago and for what ever reason decided to run it with just cone filter and reducer on the Throttle body, as expected no huge gain, but it did seem "peaky" from 20mph in 1st on same for 2nd as well, at about 40mph. no throttle position change, but the power would pull a bit more.
Anyway the filter fell off after a year or so, so i picked up a "cold air" intake, threw that on and as expected, more pull from low to upper mid range but it lacks the drastic change from the stubby intake at the 20 / 40mph marks (note- no tach, so i go by the speed and gear). I know long tubes on headers and intake manifolds for other makes are better for low end power/ torque so doing the opposite would theoretically improve the high end. ok thats my story thanks
