you guys are reading way too much into this intake thing.... its a piece of 3 in. tubing going from your turbo to a filter... your dumb as **** if you think any single one will give you noticable power gains over the other... and as far as problems with the intakes, judging by the responses in this thread, i would say operator error on 95% of all intake problems!!!!!

CIA makes good stuff, but saying that there 3 in tube is better then hahns 3 in tube is a crock of ****, i have seen pics of the cia "intake" and i hope its not the one they will be selling, it looks like they just cut a hole to mount the MAF... Im going with dejon just because its the cheapest and best looking in my opinion... but back to all you Interceptor tooners who know better

 

So, what you're saying is... I am dumb as **** if i want my MAF error under 2%? I am dumb as **** if i want my recirc valve hose to actually STICK to the damn intake? I'm dumb as **** for not wanting water in my intake? Sounds like reasonable arguments.

I don't give a rat's ass about power gains. But if the gains I am getting are going to cause reliability problems, I don't want em. If I have to give up 2 hp to get a more reliable intake, I'll give it up. Saying a tube is a tube is false. The location of the MAF needs to be precise, and from the looks of it, CIA is researching the best location to put it. So, if I made an intake, and put the MAF 1/2" away from the filter, and priced it for $50 you would buy it huh? Since a tube is a tube, why not huh? Well, when you do that, come back and tell me how it works for ya. Until then, I'll stick with rooting for R&D to further the development of our cars, and i will promote new products.

 

its amazing that people can't read and the pics you saw are pre-production........read next time. Also as for news Dan is working on the intake today. so soon

 

I'll be doing some testing on a cold air myself here shortly.... heard the bends should be back sometime this week!

 

Sweet! I do love me some DIY projects, and it sounds like you are doing it right. I wouldn't mind scoring some Ti tubing and fabbing my own up, lol. Nothing like a $500 intake.

 

Oh no, I am testing it for a vendor! But I will get full tests for them! So all the number nutswingers on this site will have them

Dyno runs: Stock OE filter, K&N drop in, and the intake!

Maf pounds per minute, on all three! And power numbers for each!

 

OH! Gotcha. Dang, I do like DIY stuff though, lol. Which vendor???? Or is that a secret?

 

secret right now! But looking at the rest of their products it'll be top notch!

 

i have the hahn on my 09 and i love it. gives a really nice blow of valve sound too.
