Its a waste of money in my opinion.

Make more power out of a 3" cold air for cheaper

 

OEM airbox with a spoon elbow puts down more power.

with a properly designed intake the air gains velocity as it enters the intake mani...

He's saying strapping a filter onto the throttle body doesn't create a good/enough velocity to make power.

 

i see

 

some places its not worth 200$ for very lil hp honestly

 

are whale ***** intakes any good?Syndicate sucked on one and he told me it tasted pretty good.

n00b you are not paying for the HP gains you apying for the CF and the name brand! Get an e-gay intake and put on a K&N filter! Dyno proven to give you 1 HP and .5 TQ

If you are a show car I suggest the CF whale ****, but if not go cheap tube w/ K&N.

 

The Spoon intake arm is the most ungodly waste of $200 I've ever seen.

mines like that and im not black

 

I think there was a dyno of a bunch of intake's on ITR motors, the AEM 3" CAI made a some good numbers and was amongst one of the cheapest. Although the J's Racing/ PasswordJDM intake AKA whale *****, probably has some FUNCTION to its JDM BLiNG y0 factor.

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by GUILOTINE &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I posted it in another thread but, Ill put the results here for you guys.
the setup is a '00 JDM ITR wit a 1 piece head gasket, ARP headstuds, Buddy Club spec 4's,CTR N-1 Pulley, Portflow springs and retainers. The tranny is '00 Spoon ITR tranny with a 4.9 ATS final. Excedy thin sprung 6 puck and chromoly flywheel.
All tuned with a Hondata stage 2
The red line is the J's and the green line is the AEM

I coulda easily made more (2-3hp) too if I woulda added fuel above 8200 -8900rpm. The wide band showed it was way too lean. Shaun offered to tune it to the AEM but since I dont own one I left it tuned to the J's It also had the same result on my friends ITR, exactly 12 HP gain vs his ITR airbox and spoon filter. Believe me I was very disapointed, I just recieved the intake the day before from Mike at IPS and it cost me my left nut. Shaun Church said he gets the exact same result from evey J's style intake he dynos compared to the AEM. Granted the J's looks 10x better than the AEM but the graph tells a different story.

this has been debated for a long time but the basic concept and things u need to know.

for every 7 degres u lower your engine temp. u gain a total of 1% of your current hp. so metals conduct heat where as the stock air box isnt metal but not smooth. cai is going to be more hp in your engine due to the fact that its colder air but. white ghetto looking 3in pvc piping will actually get u the most power but it will look bad imo and with cai u need to be careful about hydrolocking your engine. good luck with your decision. not sure on the whale ***** but its black(conducts heat). basically u are paying for the cf and looks.

 

the above is PROVEN false....a smoother surface is more turbulant. A rougher surface has a higher velocity.

 

The whale ***** serves the homie just bought one and damn,it kills mad gas when flooring it all the time . I'm looking into the J's racing for my"Single Slammer"
