RDFabs 3-inch Intake
RDFabs 3-inch Intake
I think this is the correct section where I put this in. (if not, I'm sure it will be moved to the appropriate section
)
So, I wanted a three inch intake for my car and I wanted to go with something a little different. So, for $255.00 shipped I got the RD Fabrications 1 piece intake.
Review: It looks great under the hood, love it to death. If you're looking for a little whine when you give the throttle a little gas though, it won't happen. You have to floor it and get it up a bit, but when you hear it, it whines hardcore.
I've noticed a good response from my car, though not a huge difference, some, and when I get on it, it feels awesome. Though the day after I put the bad boy on a nice little CEL (most likely a lean code), came on and won't go away, so I'll have to get a tune for it. Yes I tried disconnecting the battery, but that only worked for a short time, and the cel came back. She doesn't like all the air I'm shoving into her.
Fitment was very tight and it took a while as it was hard maneuvering it about and getting it past the brake lines and all that as well, but I expected it. But they gave enough rubber lining to protect the intake. It is a one piece with generic filter.
Shipping took quite the while though. Took a little over a month for them to make it and for it to be put in my hands. But they make each one of them separately so I can understand that. just totally sucked waiting for it.
Overall, for a 255.00 3 inch, 1 piece intake, I'm satisfied.

It throws a P0171 bank 1 lean code cause it's much larger than stock. Happens to a lot of people, but they can tune it out by either raising their Hz limit on their MAF or just retuning the car altogether...
It's not a dangerous lean code, though.
