Default Air Intake Silencer Mod??
I did the Gotts mod where i replaced the end of the intake with a 3" piece of PVC pipe.. It made my exhaust deeper soundin .. and was wonder if its a waste of my time to do that silencer mod? Thanks Yall

you wont notice any gains. It will just give you a meaner engine noise from the intake.

You might notice a few hp on the Dyno by doing the Gotts mod.. I don't know if you really notice any real world gains.
