hey guys what is your thoughts on the two. i have a cold air growler intake set up atm and just got a maffless tune and thinking is it worth getting an otr intake. or just keep what i got. if i had to buy either one they are both the same price. but as i said i allready had the growler on the car when i bought it

otr would be better but in the same position i wouldn't respend that amount of money to get a gain that would barely be noticed. depends on how much value you place on small gains really.

I was going to say the only real advantage to keeping the Growler is that you can keep it legal by still using the maf.
But since you already have a mafless tune the extra gains by using an OTR will only be small but there will be gains.
And if you start modding the car (most likely) then the OTR will benefit those gains better than what the Growler will.
Plus the induction roar of most OTR's is pretty captivating.

Always gains with an OTR especially when driving....no air getting rammed in with a POD


I would buy one but I'm more of a DUS fan
