Either way you go though, you'll feel it.
by looking ast the fotos from the eurocharged site the y pipe is the same style design as the needswings. the stock 32 and the c32 are the same and completely different than the fotos on the website
i think the needswings dual cai is a great setup but 800 is just to much for me

Yes but you can do half now and then the rest when you can afford it with the NW setup.

Go with the single for now and later when you have more money you can upgrade to the dual. It would be cheaper to upgrade later since you will already have the single. The single NW intakes has been used on all fastest runs of any car using the AMG supercharged 3.2L .

its still 800 and the eurocharged is 569. big difference! also the eruo setup has plates to confoorm to the centerpiece to retain a semi stock look.
basiclly im looking to choose between the euro dual cai or the c3 . not everyones chioce im sure. but the needswings is cost prohibitive and so not an option

goodgenes79 i hope you make it to the car show fri. i would like to eyeball your setup!

I do have to say that the eurocharged dual looks nicer and since it's priced better it is more appealing. But has that been dynoed on a slk or srt? With the stock y pipe I could see it being a bit restrictive

I see that you are planning a custom tune.

There are some shops that offer free re-tunes.

That way you can do the intake, then tune (or vice versa), and then a pulley and re-tune.

Also, check what NW is charging to upgrade from the single to the dual intake, and offer a better deal.
Lots of us bought the single intake.

BTW - you should come to the Tail of the Dragon GTG Halloween weekend in Fontana Village, NC so we can compare differences.

you are correct. so i can run the dual cai and the ecu will adapt and then a c3 which needs no tune to run . finally save for a dyno custom tune which will necessitate a trip to eurocharged or let for a tune.

no problem since they are in the same building.

it is in fact a SL55 y-pipe not a stock SLK32/SRT6 Y-pipe. Restriction gone.

It says it gained 16whp. Isn't that like 12whp lower than just a single needswings?

thanx for all the input. against most of the opinions, im going with the c3 first as its the cheapest and no tune is needed. when the tax return comes in ill look at the dual cai and a tune
once again thanx

Has anyone tried the SL55 Y pipe and opened up the intake on the stock intake at the grill? It looks like it gets very choked where it passes through on the side of the radiator then opens up to go to the stock air cleaners. I realize this isn't as good as the new 3" pipes, but I would think it would increase the airflow for very few $, and maintain the stock appearance.

i tried both ways. the inlet at the airbox on the 32 is very restricted. with the sl55 boxes its better but i still want the factory look, and the sl55 centerpiece just wont work.

for the guys who dont understand the digs and such theres a thread on here that will explain it all. lets call it sibling rivalry!!
i guess im just going to have to price it out and see. so far the dual cai is the highest dollar but doable.
ill let all my fans know how it goes!

srt-six how about some jeep logos with the srt-4 badging!

i had also sent many emails to svo regarding a dual cai he was building. communication stopped and i never heard from him again about the dual cai. he was going to price it ariound 350$!

tomygun i have to respectfully disagree. credit cards and debt are what put this country in the place its in now and a socialist in the oval office. if i cant pay cash i dont buy it. its a simple rule to live by and i will never worry about losing all i have becuase i cant pay the payments.
gramma benz you let out my secret!! now everyone will want one and ill be left out in the cold!!
Hey 32krazy, Per your earlier response to my financial direction re; your oppionion of the use of credit cards, you missed the most important part of my instructions for your financial gain, possibly because you already know it all. Pay it off monthly! Get at least ahead of your monthly statement by one month. You get one month extra interest on your cash. Now have a credit card that pays YOU interest (points) for what you spend and put your money to work. There is no fee or interest charged to you and your card can pay you up to 3% on what you paid out the previous month if you do this monthly and on time. We all have different outflows and I guess I am average, and gain about $900 a year doing this and if you can be openminded you could also. T

show me 1 millionaire who got his fortune by using credit cards. wont find any. it only takes the cc company to not post a billing cycle and the points or money saved is gone. play with snakes and you will get bitten.
i will continue to pay cash and live the way i do and sleep at nite. many will use the cc and sleep also. its a choice and i choose to be debt free
there is no need to reply to this as you nor anyone else will ever change my mind. i went that route before and will never do it again
