I don't have the RC2, but I notice the noise depends how much the opening of the throttle, the Typhoon I am using doesn't make too much noise below 4000rpm, not much even above 4500rpm if the throttle is only 50% open Temperature, to be honest, I wonder the CAI will make any difference since the OEM design works like a CAI already ==> outside air goes into a fully sealed chamber all the to the combustion. The plastic vs metal hose might have a bit affect.... but will it make a huge difference... Trust me... you need this:

That's good to hear, as I am also wondering how loud it will be at highway speeds on longer trips. We've got plenty of 75 mph and even some 80 mph speed limits in TX, so cruise control at 88 mph (10% rule = BACK TO THE FUTURE!!) in 6th gear runs upwards of 4K. Hopefully, when the throttle is not fully open in cruise it won't be as loud as say 2nd gear @ 4K pedal to the metal.

Unless you floor the pedal, then you'll notice the difference, but the 'noise' does sound healthy |

75 mph is a hair over 3K rpm in 6th I think. At 90 mph in 6th gear the upshift indicator which is set at 4K is solid red (that's also right about when my wife usually vocalizes her displeasure with my driving). However, the car is loud enough as it is at that speed that the intake should not add significantly to the noise. I can't wait to hear it. I just PM'd the guy for payment details.

Schweet! Is there an easy method to figuring out the % throttle at different cruising speeds in different gears?

Evening, madames et monsieurs.
Enjoying a nice cigar at Fontana Village, days ahead of zdayz. You all have to make it a point to drive roads like these in your Z's. I am in driving Nirvana |
