[QUOTE="imswheel, post: 877083, member: 4886"] For your dancing and dining pleasure, I have been playing with my new Autotap and it showed that the intake air temp is almost 15 deg warmer without the silencer. I noticed that the outside temp was a balmy 27 deg but the air going into the intake was 42 degrees. I recorded the mass air along with the temp, put the silencer back on and did it again. With the silencer the intake air temp and the out side air temp ( as reported by the radio ) were almost the same. (33 vs 36) The mass airflow showed no change and the boost levels stayed the same as well. My performance vote is to leave it in. The seat of the pants dyno felt better but that may have been the "placeebo" effect cause I new the air was better. It is amazing to see how fast the 2nd air charge temp (temp after the Eaton) goes up when you get into the boost. It can go up 20 degrees in just a few seconds and takes quite awhile to drop back down. The silencer lowered both temps considerably. Now I hope I dont drive up a tree when trying too see the laptop display while driving like a scalded monkey!! That would be bad! Thanks [/QUOTE]
