The elbow may look like a simple straight silicone elbow from an aerial view, but you don't get to see the entire thing at an engine bay's glance. Take a look at what our very first prototype looked like.



This was a straight, 4.5 inch intake elbow with a 90 degree bend and no other curvatures. We actually lost quite a bit of power with this intake elbow. It was upon getting those results we had to revisit and completely revamp the design. Check out our prototype that the blue silicone piece you see now is essentially based off of.







The shape itself is unique which was not done on accident. There is particular reasoning behind this type of design. The working theory behind this shape is that by providing more volume in the tube, there would be an increase in airflow density and velocity directed into the throttle body. Increasing the outer radius along the edge of the tube around the bend proved our theory right and we made more power over our initial design which was essentially a straight silicone elbow which is pictured below. This yielded actual power gains that were consistent and repeatable.

We also upped our intake inlet size to a full 5 inches and also know that our this will make power and be safe to run on a stock tune. It is not a restriction in anyway to this V8 and air fuel ratios are within perfectly safe operating parameters. We have some awesome color options including black, blue (pictured on the car now) and red as well as a Lifetime Mishimoto Warranty! If you'd like, check out our post on this thread here to see, in even more detail, the process we went to get to the final product.

A lot of time and energy was invested in the engineering behind this intake and rather rush to be the first on the market, we wanted to ensure the product we are putting out is the best that it can be. It's important that we keep our focus on our product and not let any outside factors misguide our expectations and project plans. I really hope this helps with your concerns! Anything else please let me know.



We had to take the kit off of the car for other purposes. Don't worry, it's safe and sound!




Thanks!

I will be a test dummy for it and will be selling them both off if for in the classified section for cheap as possible if its the fault of my Camaro's intake manifold build and noise persists....

Looking forward to seeing this.

had a Falcon, shaved 170 head on 250 CID, triple autolites on an offenhauser manifold. Cifford cam, stall c4 and 4.10s

Now to the whistle, did you try to tape the sound tube? Evidently it is a problem only on some cars.

So SOMETHING from Mishimoto is coming to me on Tuesday! It's not my shirt because that came last week. Could it really be my intake?!!!!

Lets see some pics when you get it! On a side note I'll be flying into Spokane at the end of June. My sister has a house on Lake Roosevelt in Kettle Falls. Nice area to visit.

I ordered red, cause we all know red is faster.... Can't wait..

LOL...who knows! I put in my pre-order (confirmed) within an hour of it going up on the forum and I haven't even gotten the t_shirt!

Did you order a filter? I had the shirt come in and few days later I get another tracking number and I thought this is it, it's finally here!! Only to find out its only the filter.

No I ordered the whole kit...I hope it isn't only the filter.

False alarm, I checked that tracking number again and it seems to have corrected itself. It now references the shirt that came on Thursday.

Wah wah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...:(
