Guys Post up your pics! i have seen some nice pictures so far and it seems as though everyone is going with the HKS along with there piping!

Post up your pictures...and discuss the products you guys like and dislike!

 

Here is mine




Also here is the intake with the boost piping, still in production.




The thing i like about mine and the also the second design of the CIA boost tubing is the clean design, no welds and all bent from one tube, same with the intake.

 

Hahn charge piping and Hahn CoolRam intake:



I like that Hahn thought enough to not make the charge piping go directly over the top of the plugs in case I wanted to clean/change them. *cough...above....cough* LOL

The intake took 20 minutes to intstall(after stock intake removed) and looks amazing. Amazing proven dyno results and no CEL and flawles quality. Hahn FTW

 

Yeah thats why CIA has two designs for those who care more about looks then performance, the one i have put down 6 more hp then the other. Not sure how often you change your spark plugs, but usually not tell 100k miles

 

Yes.

CIA offers the same thing Hahn Does. The final Product will be done soon if not already! I cant wait to do pictures when i get it!

SUKX:

Your Engine bay does look GREAT! i like that a lot
Question though: Intake install? 20 mins?

 

Im using the Hahn and like it for reasons of looks (and group buy was hard to pass up)






Cons: Install can be painful (no directions but doesnt take rocket science to figure it out, but simple instructions would be helpful, lots of complaints from others thought that have done this install, took about 4 hours of my time figure everything out and adjusting for hood clearance

I'm the type that will get the best for my money/performance, instead of supporting a vendor completely (as the other two are doing)

I personally disagree completely with Hahn's intake setup, sorry but I've seen many cars head to the shop because of putting open filters in the well like that, if your in a dry climate that receives little rain, then its fine. I just could not leave it unprotected like that knowing that where I now live it rains daily in the summer time, and I do not like K&N Filters either.

SRI's on our cars really will work fine for performance/gains and peace of mind. I plan on running the car hard and taking some abient air temps in the engine bay (with it closed of course) when I start looking at the intakes once more are completed and on the market, but I imagine w/o a doubt the numbers are not going go much higher then ambient temps from the well, there really isnt much for "hot" air there. Exhaust/turbo are in the rear.

 

Nice pic Boosted4dr different view i haven't seen before the black looks good with the yellow!

 

Could you go further into detail about this? Interested in what you have to say.

Boosted Yours looks great also.
I like the HAHN in there. Looks good

 

The hahn exhaust is sexy, no doubt about that. The only wait I would get it is if I would have of gotten in on the group buy though. That was a good price on the group buy. I think it was like $350. But as far as paying $500 for it? no thanks. I'll pay $350 like I did with my dejon piping and be happy with my HKS BOV and save $150. But to be honest I would have gone with Clear Image but I am just so damn impatient. They make good stuff and will weld a BOV flange for ya. I just got impatient cuz i just found out the gf is pregnant so I need to buy as much as I can before I have to start budgetting for a baby haha

and mazaboi definitely go with the hks. It is freaking sweet

 

SHAMWOW

 

Thanks man!

Let me clarify......NOT incuding the headlight disassembly and deinstall of old intake. I just meant installing the intake. Super easy once you get the old intake off.

Yeah I agree. I like that angle!

 

Now that is sexy!!

 

Dejon piping with HKS SSQV bov



The HKS bov

 

I like it man.

 

I've just noticed alot of people lately supporting certain vendors completely. I perfer to look at price/performance vs just support any 1 vendor/supplier. Ill have a hahn charge pipe, possibly some elses exhaust/downpipe (I will run a cat, dont care about the minor gains in power vs a high flow cat)....Things like that. I have certain things I will and will not do from my experience in dealing with cars and modding them for the past 14 years (started w/ turbo grand prix when I was 16)

And thanks for the comments...Black/Yellow do go well...now to just do something w/ that intake and the engine bay!


Interesting...The dejon at the turbo outlet starts smaller then enlarges at the first coupling?

 

I noticed that too...not sure I like that. I also noticed that thier couplers seem to be a wierd material??? It looks like that maybe from the air passing through the pipes is has "suctioned" the coupler somehow around the ends of the pipes???

 

Well what if one company offers wonderful parts all across the board?

Example: CIA

Developing exhaust, DP, intake and boost piping.
They use the same materials other company's use but have differnt setup's to target different crouds. Just because they haven't been working on these type cars for years doesn't mean their work is not up to par. Please list me some reasons why you wouldn't go with them? I sure can't think of any. Customer Service, quality parts, ect.

 

Never said I wouldnt use parts from them

Though they should really put those new interns to work on updating the site

I think its great to have so many companies coming into the market place producing products for the turbocharged balt....I've had some real black sheeps in the day (turbo charged grand prix (205 hp in 90 was bitching) but had no real aftermarket support (the community did everything), then the DOHC GTP's, and at first the SC GTP's but thats when the aftermarkets really started picking up on the cars (RAT was on the first and I was friends with many of the people in charge of the company)

 

Yea I'm not sure why they did this but it is smaller right at the outlet

 

Yeah Dan has someone coming in to work on the site, he is the only one who works on it. I told him he needs to update a lot and soon!!!

 

im not sure(sarcasm) but i dont think he ment for lsj's to post. im just sayin

 

I had to modify my hahn because of the size difference..the reducer they sent wasnt enough imo, I ended up using part of the stock assly with the hahn over the top before I was happy w/ the connection

 

 

i wasnt lol but his looks good so i didnt say anything

 

hahn looks sex
