Do 5" Intakes Really Work...?
 

People often ask us to do tests of our 5" LSA intakes to see if they really do gain power over another intake or even a 4.5" Intake.

Well instead of being accused of biased test results, we decide to let other shops, other tuners and our customers vouch for their personal results.

So... do they work?

You be the judge.

The filter sits right behind the factory brake duct for increased airflow to the high flow K&N filter and illuminating the need for a airbox in your engine bay. And reducing the amount of hot air sucked up by the intake.

Still not convinced ... try one for yourself.

Interesting for my next upgrade but touch pricey

Umm yea I would say it works. I put this intake on my 2013 ZL1, which currently holds the SBE boost only 5th gen record. It also fits with the largest volume (1.7 gal) under hood tank available for the 5th gen ZL1, which is made my BMR.

Would love to get up there for this intake and a dyno tune

give us a call we'll get you set up :happy0180:

302-798-4000

Awesome to hear!!

As we know dyno numbers are only part of the equation, how it performs at the strip and on the street is the other half.

:thumbup:

Those are nice numbers for sure. I may get one just to see what it does. I have the ADM race CAI and rotofab big gulp now and those have worked well.

I do have an aeroforce air temp sender and would like to add that to the tube. Not sure if a bung is available for that.

My LSA is ported to a 90mm snout so not stock 87mm and no intention to go NW 102.

Sounds like I may need to evaluate this one like I’ve done other products ;o)...

Road Racer here ;o)

Buy 2 Don, and I will get you some Strip Data ;)

Ha, ha. Sure ;o) I’ll need to see when I can get one to test and get some numbers from Ryan. Looks promising...

:popcorn:

Is this the only intake on market to fit the 102 mm TB? im looking for one, since i have a Vmax and CAI set up but ill be getting stuff ported for a 102 TB, what about rain and water, will this be an issue driving in rain, daily driving? Water suction, does it fit the stock MAF sensor , curious about this intake. Also what about the wind shield wiper fluid container.

The bottom of the filter sits over a foot off the ground and the filter is 9 inches tall. So really unless you drive in 2 feet of water it isnt an issue. Yes fits stock maf sensor. Windsheild fluid containter is moved and replaces with a rotofab which we also sell.

i need a way to test this against my jlt CAI with my mods. this thing is nasty already and comes carbon fiber though. if you offered a carbon fiber version, i would be on it like white on rice

hey is this still the record? looking for a goal to achieve
