Cold air intake really worth it?

[steelgiant5]

Sorry for giving you exactly what you asked for,"I would like to see an unbiased test with all of the "top" intakes, and the stock intake on the same car at the same time on a dyno...."

Where? You said that was yours vs windstorm.. Am I missing something?

I thought the test at the track conducted by SHOnUp4 and discussed earlier in this thread was more meaningful than any other comparisons I have seen.

And when I said unbiased I meant someone other than m design or livernois doing the test...I believe numbers... No numbers... I don't believe it. It's just how I am, nothing against either you or m design. If it can't be proven with facts it didn't happen.

I ran the MDesign, Windstorm, and stock box with drop in at the track all in one day...multiple runs each.

Windstorm 12.42
MDesign 12.43
Stock with drop in 12.44

Yeah here it is... In my opinion stock still wins, money spent on something else looks better to me. The difference from 12.42-12.44 is almost nothing

Well that depends on if you have money on the race. And he runs a 12.43. And you ran a 12.44. As opposed to a 12.42.

In that case yes, but I would have used my cai money on downpipes, so that is just another comparison that's gonna upset somebody else.. Lol what I am saying is that the cai isn't worth the money for the "gains" expected

Nobody is saying the stock box is not adequate if you do not have exhaust mods done as well. We do state just that often.

Still waiting for the dyno numbers for the stock versus aftermarket....

Oh I agree with you there. The only way I see an intake really making gains. Is if someone would do one that feeds each turbo separately.

That is beautiful. I might have to break out the tig welder and copy you.

Fresh air from the factory inlet.

Fresh air from the lower grille opening where flexible tubing is routed to.

Fresh air from 3 of the slits on the driver's side hood vent.

All feed into both turbos, separately.

Been running strong since it's install.

That can see gains since that big 180 degree bend is gone. Nice work.

Where is your engineering data to support your build? #facepalm

Never said livernois didn't know what they were doing....that's a sweet intake.

 

[2012korn]

Lol. Really ^ removing the obvious 180 degree bend will gain more then anything else.
That's basic flow characteristics.

 

[bpd1151]

Data my dear Watson? Who needs data.....



It kicks ass simply because I said it does. Muahahahahaha......



Tee hee hee. I love you Jaimie. Muah.
