slateH3 is off the scale
Default

Hey all. I'm an H3 noobie. just wanted to say hi. my background includes Open Track racing in my 450bhp Cobra Convertible. I've been involved in autosports for a long time and consider myself a do-it-yourselfer.

Its been a long time since i've owned a cool offroad truck/suv. But when i saw the H3, I thought it 'just awsome'. I love it.

i've owned the H3 for about a week now and i must say that the 5 banger is lacking in the HP/TQ department. Also I feel the brake/gas pedal is a little too close together. But other than that, I love it in every way. I have the 'Adventure' package.

Now for my first question: I would like to improve the performance a little. Would a K&N FIPK (aircharger) work. K&N claims 18rwhp, but i've been around and I'm not sure i'm totally buying the claim. Suggestions?

PS: i'm not ready to gut the exhaust yet, so just 'bolt-on' suggestions for the time being...

thanks all! and happy to be on your boards!!!
