Best Air intake?

[xSheolx]

Hi all, I’m new to the SHO community. I have a black 2017 SHO. I’m curious as to what the best air intake for the vehicle would be? I have a fear of open air intakes, drawing hot air in. Is there a good enclosed air intake that’s recommended? Thanks in advance!

Yes, the factory air box is all you need. It is a cold air intake that will flow more air than the stock engine can use. You can use a K&N panel filter but, IMHO, that is a waste of money. If you are doing power mods, you are back to an open air box with a housing trying to keep engine heat away from the filter.

My local track doesn't open until April. I've been playing around with my factory airbox system. I can't wait to see if a make any "free" power.

IMO, a K&N drop in filter is all you would need. It immediately gives you better throttle response and a sweet subtle intake whistle. It also makes a huge difference with turbo spool once you upgrade your DPs. Lasts a lifetime and requires minimal maintenance. Doesn’t cost much either.

Gonna hit from a different angle here. EPP true dual intake has been proven to reduce wastegate duty cycle even on stock turbos. Reduced wastegate duty cycle to make the same boost means increased efficiency.
