Velocity Stacks

[all-mota]

couldn't you get the same effect by putting window screen and a rubber band on the end of the pipe? panty hose? an old sock? My friend had one in his front bumper, but it was more for looks, I thought. Isn't a open pipe the same?

no the straight edge of the end of the pipe will actually make less power than the same intake with a filter.

the velocity stack is designed with a radius curve in place to smooth the transition of the airflow into the pipe while improving velocity in most cases

Plain end open pipe is even worse than having a filter.

DARE whats the difference between just the stack and stack W/filter

[patrick4588]

^^^about 1-2hp

^^^about 1-2hp

So im guessing the filter helps then.

[patrick4588]

i meant loss of 1-2hp, but i would run a filter just for the purpose of cleaner air and no risk of sucking up any debris.

ok

Tests we have seen on all-motor Hondas, have yield negligable differences with regard to power and torque. My advise: run the filter.

Too late I already order the Velocity stack!

when I bought my car the dumbass was running open throttle body ... so I bought just an ebay intake and put a velocity stack on it and made a filter of sorts with screen door material ( that you cant see ) in btw. the velocity stack itself and the piping.... I noticed a small increase in throttle response.... maybe 1-3 hp?.... it also did sound slightly better in vtec crossover!!!


Here is a pic of the current velocity stack ( SOON TO BE REPLACED BY ITB'S )

why does your velocity stack lok weird

nu uh!!!! u look weird

they arent good for daily driving and better find a good tuner

DIY= FAIL

not true i could drive my car everyday if i wanted too. the itb's don't hinder that.

however they can be a pain in the ass the tune and react to climate changes like temp and humidity.

and the guy that wanted to do the diy itb's dont waste your time i've never seen a car make more power with them than a nice intake manifold. if you want itb's you have to spend some $$$$ on some high quality ones or you'll be bashing them within the first month of putting them on your car.
