H3 Buyer to be? 06-13-2005 02:12 PM

I just got off the phone with Jason at Air Raid Fitlers here in Scottsdale, AZ. They test fit the H3 last week, and found that the fitment was the same as the Colorado. The only problem was that the weather strip is a little high, and needs to be pushed down to fit. He said it is not an issue, and they are going to have a new one out in the next month or two!

Per Jason, the HP gain was 10 HP (not sure how accurate those numbers are, but anything will help!)

i would say getting HP gains off an air filter is BS, but it will make it get a nice growl when you get on the gas, and perhaps increase mileage.... i took the cover off my airbox this weekend and it sounds pretty cool.. im trying to do a little test to see if it helps at all.. currently im getting about 14.3 mpg according to my last tank of gas 230 miles, and 16 gallons to fill it. ill keep you posted

I wonder if it will be CARB approved (for those of us in the Democratic People's Repulic of California).

bparker 06-13-2005 03:36 PM

ya it wont be much gain in hp but we need all we can get! lol

also, if you can add 5 mods that gain 10+hp each - you will have decent hp to for better acceleration.

so far, I have no problems at all once I get going, in fact this things likes to speed. Many times I have already found myself doing 15-25 miles over the speed limit and had no idea I was going that fast.

Vincent 06-13-2005 06:13 PM

Same here. Several times I've glanced at the speedometer reading of 75-80mph. The ride is so smooth & quiet it's hard to tell that I'm going that fast.

MisterE 06-13-2005 08:22 PM

Agree!

I've noticed it while accelerating as well. I know it isn't the fastest thing (although it feels about the same as my ZR2 Blazer) but it is so quite I'm like come on lets go...and it is already up to fifty!

firm 06-13-2005 09:26 PM

Anybody tried the flowmaster yet? The air filter is suppose to improve HP, but what about gas mileage. I'm not trying to get 12-13 mpg like the H2

usetosellhummer 06-13-2005 09:43 PM

It does help. We use to sell a ton of them for the 2's and everyone loved them. i put one on my pontiac and you can feel the diffrence, even though it is minor.

First Hummer 06-14-2005 09:28 AM

I am installing the SMA air intake and the sport exhaust to gain hopefully 30 ponies we will see.

H3 Buyer to be? 06-14-2005 02:58 PM

First Hummer, I saw on this website that the intake and exhaust for the H3 were $999.95 each. That has to be BS right? If you pay that I would have to stop talking to you...

bparker 06-14-2005 03:14 PM

lol my thoughts exactly

usetosellhummer 06-14-2005 04:10 PM

that is some good mark-up$

Have you installed those yet?

firm 06-15-2005 03:40 PM

That's a lot of money for 5 HP!

H3 Buyer to be? 06-15-2005 03:44 PM

NO KIDDING, that is a grip... By the time we are done modifying, we could have just bought the H2!

First Hummer 06-15-2005 05:58 PM

Have you installed those yet?[/quote]

The air intake is coming tomorrow and the exhaust should be next week.I wouldnt have spent this kind of money for just 5hp.I read the descriptons and they said 15 hp for exhaust and 14 hp for intake so by my count that is 29Hp.We will see if it s true.

Thanks alot now I have to go and puke.

First Hummer 06-16-2005 01:13 PM

With so many places selling H3 accessories this going to happen.If I paid $999 for each then I would drive me and my H3 of a cliff.I am more concerned about how they work rather than price.

If you paid $2000, I wouldn't drive my H3 off a cliff, but I woul drive to your house and kick the crap out of you...

First Hummer 06-16-2005 05:33 PM

I would expect nothing less.

firm 06-16-2005 08:01 PM

So has anyone installed them yet? I am interested if they help HP without hurting gas mileage. They say the Air Fliter helps mpg, How about the exhaust?

Both should give you better mpg... I REALLY hope so because right now I'm just getting like 12-13 mpg

First Hummer 06-16-2005 10:25 PM

Will be waiting for your reviews!

First Hummer 06-17-2005 04:37 PM

I have good news and bad news.Good news is the air intake is installed.The bad news is the exhaust is back ordered 2 to 3 weeks.After this weekend of driving I will let you guys know if I see increase in Ponies.

DeLeon 06-17-2005 05:01 PM

Great! don't forget MPGs!

I just went for a small ride and I did notice a difference.The install was pretty basic just remove cover and old filter ,put new filter in first then the new cowl that comes with it.It is a snugg fit when you close the hood.I think once the rubber gasket gets molded into place it will be fine.Mpg will have to wait till later sorry.I have decided not to install the exhaust,but rather put money into new stereo with xm radio.

DeLeon 06-17-2005 06:27 PM

First Hummer, could you please post some pics of the air filter?

Looks good! THANKS!!

funpilot 06-17-2005 07:20 PM

By "noticing a difference", do you mean more acceleration?

firm 06-17-2005 07:28 PM

Can you use the air raid filter, and the flowmaster, or are they the same device?
