Very nice Racer, Can you take some close up's of your new wheel & tire combo for us less fortunate souls!
Also, is the new intake really obnoxiously loud when you punch it and will you be adding headers and CAT-Back to the exhaust as well.
Thanks buddy! I love it!:D :D

-Sure thing with the close ups.
-The AEM brute force is 7-8 on a 10 scale loud at WOT but imo not
obnoxious, I really appreciate the the sound this particular honda engine has at WOT.
-Id like to go for just catback exhaust, soon as flowmaster makes a ridgeline specific one.
Thanx for the props.

What does WOT mean?
How has the new intake effected performance? More power??

WIDE Open Throttle! or as racers know it WFO!:D :D
I believe it works best in conjunction with a modified exhaust. Think of your engine as an air pump. The more air & fuel you can pump in and expel out, the higher the power output.

Check out www.aempower.com
They are one of the leading companies in the Import Tuner scene regarding these types of modifications.:D I think they state a 10 to 15% boost but I'd want to see Dyno charts before I bought one.

Cool, more power and better mileage, it almost sounds to good to be true. Usually, you trade one for the other.
