Ordering an intake tonight and after searching the forums i cant really come to a conclusion on which intake is the most reliable. what do you guys recommend?

 

Im in the same situation

Between the Hahn and K&N that just came out

 

Hahn

 

if you plan on getting charge piping too, get all the same brand for the intake and charge piping. that looks hella good when it all matches.

 

Hahn

 

Hahn! 1600 miles w/o tune with no CEL's.

 

oh look it's this thread again

 

I know again

Honestly I would just wait unitll some other people try the K&N and drive with it on for awhile to see how they like it.

Or I would E-mail zzp and bug them and ask them when there LNF Intake is coming out hell I do it once every 2 weeks haha

 

just wait to find out about the K&N if not the hahn or zzp intake tube and airbox mod

 

get whale *****....

 

PVC pipe=win

 

GM stage kit intake is win

Or the Chode intakes:

 

zomg i forgot about that intake. That is the best. GM stage kit intake. Go ahead and send $500 to my paypal account and i will ship one to you right away. It might say dejon on it but just ignore that, GM is crafty.

 

Haha, I forgot all about the old madd tite whalepenis intakes.

 

The Hahn intake is pretty much **** to dial in tune-wise. Turbulent etc.

 

ok, i decided to go with the new K&n, the design looks promising. i ordered it from auto anything they have 25 dollars off and free shipping till the 26th. ill be the guinee pig. as soon as i get it in ill take pics and put up a video...wish me luck

 

thats me

my car is going to k&n tomorrow for fitment issues lol

 

yah, i just noticed your thread, and unfortunately i just checked my engine bay and have the same issue, im missing that bracket...is it still useable without it? looks like it shouldnt be too much of an issue until they release a fix? oh and how do you like it so far?

 

I'm having the same issue with a catless downpipe. i can not figure out who to go with. I have hahn cai though it's really amazing. waiting to see how people are doing with k&n before i try that out. See if the heat shield is functional too because our engine bays are heat sinks.

 

^ZZP. end of story

 

if you don't mind me asking because i really want some insight on this. i see almost everyone is running zzp DP. what makes it better than the other brands such as HAHN or MPx. Is there something im missing with it?

 

Honestly, im pretty such all downpipes for this car are exactly the same. 3" piece of pipe with a flex pipe and O2 bung. Dejon doesnt have an angled O2 so you get a CEL unless you use a spark plug defouler, Hahn has a super expensive mod pipe that you can swap cats in and out of for lik e900 bucks. ZZP has the least expensive DP that is super high quality and they back up there products. Really nothing else you can ask for.

You read the intake thread?

Quoted from terminator "There is some evidence of turbulance with the Hahn intake but it is not as bad as most of the other intakes I have logged."

So basically you're saying the Hahn is the best?
So far it is definately the best overall.

I remember reading him saying how it had a monster top end on the Hahn intake i just cant find it

 

Yea i was thinking abou8t going with the mpx it's roughly the same price after shipping and everything. im going catless so the angled is going to eventually through a CEL anytime im getting a tune to get it disabled. but the way people talk about the DPs are as if some are making a major difference. im not interested in the mod pipes

 

nah. angled O2 is meant to not throw a CEL as only small amounts of exhaust passes over it. you wont throw a cel man, ur good to go

 

Yea I understand that but i was saying going to get it disabled anyway lol
