Intake For 2.4l, FYI Options

[NY-09GTS]

Yes I agree filter is no difference, but like EngRWW33 said, the fujita was making our engines run lean. I never had one so I don't know first hand, but I read about it. I'm really into the theory of things, like how and why they work so when aem and kn said that, it got me wondering. I didn't know it was the maf that caused the cel, thanks for that info. I understand the cover your a$$ factor, but you have to admit, if the manufacture tech dept made those statements to me I still have to wonder. I'm not trying to disagree with anyone that the 2.0 versions are fine, I just want to be safe (and for others as well) and not have the possibility of damaging the engine.

And man, idk what the problem is here, but that's a little harsh about the pathetic comment, this is just a discussion, your personal opinion about others is not needed nor do I care what you think. Real tuners, gear heads and whatever else you want to call them live by the dyno, doesn't matter what car or how much hp its putting out.
If we have to insert personal attacks I'll just have the thread closed and be done with it.

btw - I already went ahead and bought the RRM SRI (even though I'm still not sure about rrm). I just thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss.

thats cool. nothing wrong with RRM. its not so much the companies covering their a$$ but more the fact that saying "it could be , or it will probably" sounds better than "i dont know".

hehe

Well i brought the RRM SRI for my 2.4L and installed it two weeks ago. My honest opinion is this. It is definetly worth it. The car picks up noticably quicker. No problems at all. So far. (knock on wood). The sound is after 3000rpms is good. Really makes the car growl more since i also have the RRM Magnaflow installed as well. With these two things installed my car comes alive. lol. I can say that the RRM SRI is a good intake. Compared to K&N i cant say. What was said before bout the intakes only being tested on the 2.0L engines makes me like my purchase that much better. Im sure there isnt much of a difference. Just reassurance i guess. Take care guys.

read on another forum that injen is claiming the 2.0 intake on the 2.4l only produces 2hp gain where as there new 2.4l produces +13hp.

i dont know if i believe the +13hp but thats what they are claiming.

I don't believe +13 either, but who knows. I do think what you read makes my point though. The manufactures say 2.0 intakes are not made for the 2.4 and from what info you read on another forum it appears that at least the injen 2.0 intake does not run optimally on the 2.4. Also, for what its worth, I went to the dealer, spoke with the service manager, and asked him about installing intakes and the warranty. He was familiar with the magnuson moss warranty act, and said shouldn't be a problem installing one. I then asked what if on the manufactures websites it says its made for the 2.0L and doesn't mention the 2.4L as being compatible? He then said if you install an engine part that was not specified for your car and you have an engine problem you'd have a real difficult time getting warranty work done. Since its the dealer, take that with a grain of salt, but just some more info for anyone who's wondering.

I currently have the RRM SRI installed on my 09 GTS, but once the injen cai for the 2.4 comes out, I'll be switching over to that.

Just bumping this up....what is the current opinion on a 2.4 intake? Still saying go with RRM SRI?

Hmmm...

RRM SRI = $219

Injen CAI = $345

$126 more for about 2-3 extra horsepower. IDK, you decide.

And for those switching from their current intake (rrm or fujita, or aem) to the new 2.4 injen, that = $345 for 2-3 more hp's than you currently have. Waste of money, imo. If you already have an intake, the $345 is better spent on headers with an 8-10 hp gain.

2-3 extra hp isn't going to make any difference on the street or at the track.

Well... the Injen 2.4L CAI is out I just had it installed.. and Injen has the dyno sheet on it saying +11 hp gain and +10 lbs of torque... Found mine for $305 brand new. I notice a slight difference in throttle response around 3800+ rpms

I haven't seen a dyno sheet for the 2.4l intake, but I do know that injens torque figures on the 2008 are a little misleading. They claimed 9ft/lbs gain on the 2008, but in actuality it was really only a 3ft/lbs gain over peak stock torque. On the 2008, sure their dyno shows a 9ft/lbs gain in the higher rpm range, but over peak stock torque it's only 3ft/lbs. So if peak stock torque is 167, you get a peak of 170 with the injen intake, not 176. The 9ft/lbs gain is later in the rpm range. The 2.4 version is the same way, small gain over peak, higher gain in the higher rpm range, so its a bit misleading. But that said, if the gains are as they claim, it should work nicely in the higher rpm range.
