Dual Cone Filter & JB

I just ordered the Dual cone filters and JB1. Do you think I will feel a difference in performance with these mods? can i expect to get more of a turbo spooling sound with the dual filters rather than factory airbox?

You wont feel anything....

Just messing with you. JB1 should be a good increase in power compared to stock (~25hp), and the dual cones will give you more sound for sure. At the low boost levels of JB1 (~9.75) I wouldn't expect to gain too much from the dual cones though.

Regardless, enjoy the mods and be safe out there....

I slapped on a couple of dual cones, but my wife said since I did my performance is somewhat diminished. I attribute that to the cones getting in the way.

I'm about to do the same thing!! glad to know I'm not the only one. I think we won't see much gains if any, but I don't think we will lose any since we have a mild tune. For those running V3s, Dinans, JB2X, etc... I think they gain 5-10whp...

Just think of dual cones and DPs as building foundation for stronger tunes.

i have the same setup and its great so far and it is a big improvement over stock.
i had the JB1 first which i felt more power, once i added the DCI there was a much better throttle response and my 29.2 lag diminished. i cant hear much of a noise diff but people around me out side the car said they did. remember to unplug your battery during install and step on break a few times to really drain the battery

Your performance is diminished? Hell yes, it's the cones getting in the way - can't believe your wife even let you try.

Or did you mean the car's performance?

Step on the brake, ya right lol, whats that gotta do with anything geez.
disconnect the battery to reset the Cpu and stuff, not to drain the battery lol. you're funny man

You will definatly feel it! Also, unplugging the batter for an hour will cause the car to "re-adapt" all its trims... so you will get the most out of it the soonest, but you still will need to put a good 50-100 miles of hard driving on it before its fully adapted.

You will be pleased with the power
