no. your motor wouldnt be able to use the air at the rate its coming in, so it would just be overkill. just get a regular CAI, or one of those short intakes for better throttle response.

Dual filter intake ? Does this even exist? It certainly wouldn't be worth fabricating.

because your motor sucks X amount of air, and its not going to suck anymore by just adding a bigger hole for it to suck through.

edit: ive actually seen a 3rd gen camaro with dual air filters that came down under his grill.

did you know that an intake can be tuned? at a certain RPM, the air coming in an intake shaped a certain way can actually cause the wind speed to actually increase significantly? it has to do with the motor creating intake pulses. Honda's are renowned for this to happen at around 5252 ish rpm where you will often see an upwards "blip" in a dynograph... if you have the correct size/lenths/shape of intake you can amplify this and get the charge to actually pressurize its self slightly...there was a thread on this in the all-motor forum...interesting stuff....the ARC airbox is meant for mass flow rather then tuned velocity, therefore you cant take as much advantage of this factor making you lose power

I like the bling on the valve cover, but I think air pressure would be lost in the crank case. However, the extra intake filter on the valve cover probably wouldn't hurt.

What you fail to take into account is the fact that the filter creates restriction. Increasing the overall filter area (in this case, by adding a second one), if done properly so as to maintain intake velocity, could certainly yield gains over a more restrictive setup.

that was kind of a over simplified explanation. And I dont think it would make much of a difference over the CAI he has.

have you ever seen a stock twin turbo setup? there not 2 seperate turbos, more like 2 compressor housings on either side of the unit, and 1 exhaust housing

Oversimplified? In what way? How exactly do you think other intakes produce power over a stock setup? By all means, I encourage you to add further detail to my "oversimplified explanation" for the benefit of the members here.

just get a cold air intake.. thoses dual air intakes are overkill for your motor..
