if i were to have a 3 inch stainless intake custom made at a shop, with a dryflow aem filter, will it produce more power than a raw intake. what is it about the raw intake that makes it produce more power than other intakes, and how do i mimic this?

 

as long as there are no restrictive bends or bottlenecks its just piping. So nothing...

 

Smooth bends. Large radius curves. The proper length. Proper MAF placement. There is a lot of science research and design into an intake.

 

what would you do? custom shop who know very little about cobalts, but alot about intakes or buy a proven product?

 

proven product....

 

just buy the raw intake

 

Proven product.

 

wait for the OTTP 3" intake to be released...

 

I thought a lot of people had to change the MAF placement on the RAW...?

 

my raw intake works great

 

seeing as the air opening into the the supercharger on our cars is less then 3 inches it doesnt really matter, its really overkill until you port your throttle body.

 

what about the RD Fabs 3" SS intake?

 

they told me sometime in march its going to be released, its almost may and i need an intake
