What are yalls thots? No stock is not better.
I see, well yes intakes do suck. Now if they blew then there's something wrong. No rest, I just got it.My thoughts, air intake sucks, rest???
LMFAO!! Love it!I see, well yes intakes do suck. Now if they blew then there's something wrong. No rest, I just got it.
I LOVE the sound. It does add something. B4 I had a little bit of top end stumble. Now I don't. Granted it's not like headers or bigger turbo go improvement, but it's a start. I also replaced crappy stock mufflers with thrush turbos. Nothing crazy, just simple sound adjustment. Maybe a hp or 2Didn't want to be too harsh, but at least you'll like the sound!
Correct, it loves the lil bit quicker revs. The Xpedal throttle controller from injen is next. Gud rid of that stupid delay without spending huge $ on a chip. I have a lifted truck that I'm working on so this car is my daily.Front strut tower brace is something that would have actually helped the drivability of the car
Lol thanks. On the breather parts I figured go big, why not.LMFAO!! Love it!
Let us know if we can help you with that one.Correct, it loves the lil bit quicker revs. The Xpedal throttle controller from injen is next.
A word of caution, my Optima bruthas. A fellow Optima SX owner learned the hard way that putting a lot of extras on his vehicle resulted in a voided warranty, and when that dreaded engine fail occurred on his 2012 toy he was out over $5000.00 for the engine repair bill. And that didn't even include all the money he spent on his extras! He warned me not to go any further than the Injen intake system and man am I glad I listened! When my turn came for the rebuild due to the known failure it didn't cost me a penny to have the work done!
I don't plan on a bunch of mods. That's actually for my project lifted truck I'm working on. This car is my daily. Out of curiosity...

Been down this road before, it's stated in the summary:![]()
Will aftermarket parts installed affect my factory warranty?

sorry its taken me so long to answer, yes if you put a breather on factory bov, you can hear it very clearly. zero performance help or hurt. strickly noise.Like the intake, minus the mini filters. Does it really make the bov sound(assuming thats what you're after) that much louder than with just the intake? Mine is already loud enough (outside the car) when I hit it hard and let off just going through the open air filter on the intake. But i know peeps love to hear the sound in the car all the time.
And doing some light mods(even the chip/tune) are really easy to take out if you had to go for a blown motor. I kept all my original parts, sure would cost me maybe $1k to put all back on in the worst case scenario... but I get to enjoy the car much more.
But to each his own, keep on keepin on!
