For those of us who have the manual 3.5 A/C, and bought the Artisan performance exhaust for like 7 or 8 bills did we get an increase in HP?

I dont have an intake, YET. besides the exhaust my a/c is allllll stock. I mean for that much i hope we got a lil gain or are we still sittin @ 270HP?

Anyone have any offical numbers, maybe from a dyno?

Would love to put my car on the dyno when I'm at Carlisle but i don't think it's possible to get good solid numbers from a CVT

best way to find out is to dyno it yourself. most of the guys on here have the CVT and cant dyno it

+1

I have a 6MT and wish I could get straight HP and WHP gain numbers for the parts i'm getting but ... the simple truth is these things are not very common because our 6MT's are so rare =/

Simple. Nissan builds close to 40 CVT cars for every MT, for the US. Many of us MT fans couldn't afford the 3 month wait to get one direct from the factory. Here in Canada, we got an even worse release ratio.

I would have had to wait for a couple months to get the options that I wanted in MT 3.5 so I took the CVT because I needed it right then

Sounds good DAN, post the numbers up when you get it dyno'd. Bcuz im still debating on getting the FUJITA, there shouldnt be any diffrence when it comes to an intake right??

as far as that velocity stack stuff where the MAF only reads the inside tube, and does not report the outer tube... but its a slimmer design than my old injen tht just has a open pipe... as does the fujita...

f it - i have no clue- but i kno imma try it out lol I'll post it up. it'll be the first damn dyno a weapon r intake for our cars will have lmao- i still cant believe no one did it yet.... meh lol

umm- one question tho- should i put my stock airbox back on with the OEM filter? cus i put in a K&N after the break in period lol, then i did my WR so "stock" would b oem housing and filter im assuming... so i'll do tht lol - answered my own question an now im mumbling. cool.

I would have killed myself if I hadn't waited for my 3.5 MT. I just held on for a week or two and they finally found one that rolled out the factory spec'd just the way I wanted. So, I gave myself a pat on the back and plopped my credit card down on the table.
