nice..

 

no good... same as the rest... HOT AIR INTAKES.....

 

 

WOW, nice! Even the heat shield is nicely designed!

 

Nice! I'm glad to see another dry filter intake.

How much was the kit?

 

post vids or ban!

 

I was hoping for a true CAI

 

i was the prototype so i got in on the house but i think their going for little under 500

 

 

ok here's what I don't understand, Why design an "intake" that constricts airflow by having a closed off end? example:

If you look at the stock HR airbox design you see this...

a smooth, steady airflow straight to the filter.




versus all these aftermarket brands where the airflow seems constricted and hits a big piece of plastic



or see this...




forgive my $hitty drawings but hopefully it gets my point across


i just dont undertand.

 

hahaha LMFAO!!

 

True, shoulda used a better flow intake

 

I get what you mean. We gotta make a new type of air filters lol

 

Nice setup. although i must agree with militia, you have a good point. awesome drawings BTW! hahahahah

 

i know what it is that you're thinking, but it doesn't matter...well, at the speeds that we drive. if we were constantly at 200 mph+ it would probably START to become into play. the fact is, the drawn in ambient air isn't moving past it fast enough to "hit" that plastic piece and cause a drop in performance. in the stock box the air is turbulent anyway so don't think that the flow is nice and laminar and carries into the intake manifold in a smooth fashion.

hell, look at NASCAR stock car cabuereted intakes, the air must go under the cowl, and under the air filter box. why not make it so that the top can suck air into the intake manifold? the car still makes over 750 hp.

i agree with the idea that the air filter/box assembly should be a straight-through design, but it's not going to change the performance of your air filter.

 

Looking good Tomek!
Do you like them?

 

haha lmao at the drawings

 

yes i really like them, they have a nice sound, especially around 3K they have this nice whistlem like the venturi design on the JWT, it sounds great, i also have an exhaust so thats probably why i dont hear it till then. definitely a power increase and throttle response

 

those are some globby welds
