Yeah so im all for running the filter but I highly doubt there is no power to be gained with taking off inlet tube. I gained power on my G3X going from the inlet to a turbo guard. I mean I run the filter on the street because I understand thats the smart thing. But pulling air through the filter is definitely going to be a restriction on the blower and cost power. Unless somehow ESS unlocked something that Vortech, Procharger, paxton, and turbos can never figure out.
Like I said... Removed it on the dyno. Did another run. Zero gains. Did nothing. Go test it yourself, already did on my end. I'm not here to convince you just sharing my experience with it.
Thats what I am saying. I did it too and gained, my friends with prochargers and Paxtons have also gained with less restriction on the inlet.
Very strange then. You tested this on a dyno? On the same hour with the same car?
Thats similar to mine with no filter. Picked up 40+ wheel and also 1.5psi in boost from better efficiency. Not a shock. All centri guys have been doing this since Gen 1 coyotes. Filters are inlet restrictions, necessary for safety but to say it makes no difference is wild to me.
Correct On a dyno, same day, within minutes of each other.
That's weird. Lol. Must have good air where you are.
I have never dynod my car, but it definitely doesn't feel like it's not still gaining above 6500 like it does below 6500. (2017, stock intake). Should I be looking at an 18+ intake to fix this?
A Gen 3 Manifold or a GT350 manifold will definitely help it carry power up top.
