Me thinky there's no linky...

Nevermind...I see it...me thinky I'm a dummy lol

 

Lol. Yea got excited and forgot to add the link. but fixed it enjoy. hope this works alot better then all the other intakes. but the intake mode is still a good bargain money wise and gains.

 

I want it but im worried it will just be like the other intakes...

 

Yea true but we'll let the tuners decide if its worth it or not. Hope they fixed the problem though.

 

12hp "Now thats something you can FEEL!" *cough bullshit cough*

I dunno i was exited about this intake and all but I dont see it being any different than any other intake. Best Short ram I think becasue of all of the mounting locations and the heat shield, but honestly I think id rather have my Hahn. Curious as to how the BOV sounds. Every intake so far makes it have a different tone. Wanna hear this ones.

 

I want aswell, gonna let someone be the guinee pig before I buy...

 

It will be. Im 99% sure. get it, get a tune for it. and then ur good

 

Unless they put an air straightner in it, the MAF is way to close to the filter to not throw it off IMO.

 

Mines in the mail ill let u guys know. Im not sure where those factory nuts are that it says u needed tho

 

lolwut? they show you where they are in the video

 

it should be alright.... K&N does alot of testing on their intakes before they make them. They obviously had a problem they needed to solve before they released it because they are usually ontop of releasing new product when new cars come out... this took 2 years.

 

Thats what all companies say. The AEM intake was made by AEM which is huge in intakes made a shitty one that collapses and surges.

 

AEM doesn't collapse

any I'm picking this up directly from k&n tomorrow morning

 

^Troof. but i think the collapse thing was prooved wrong

 

I dont have the stock intake so idk where the nuts u need to re-use are.

 

I got that one and the CIA one mixed up lol

 

I'd like someone from K&N to clarify just how they had gains on an engine that otherwise learns down.

 

The ECU doesnt instantly learn down, they probably installed it and ran it on the dyno before the car learned down

 

Keep us posted man... Interesting to see results.

 

I will

if it fits I'm throwing on the AEM Dryflow I have though

 

Why dryflow?

 

It is a calculated gain based on something they did I would guess . They must have seen better flow and calculated the gain based on the amount of flow vs the stock. Which means it still can skew MAF sensors.


I think it is time to stop bashing K&N till we see the results .. I mean this intake doesn't look like it was made in a garage. Everything fits 100% they include a heat shield, the silicone elbow is the only thing that worries me but it looks like it is a rubber plastic and not a silicone material.

Looks real promising.

You are right... this particular part has been in design for almost 2 years - hence the anticipation...

 

it will be a great intake... and if there is any issues what so ever k&n backs their product
