I see someone already got the ball rolling...thank you spensley!
Let's see...First off, everything nox1s said is very true. NeedsWings is more than professional in what he does. This is reflected in the product you receive. Every precaution was taken when he worked on my car, and I was asked if it was ok before anything was done, every step of the way. This intake wasn't slapped together in a couple of days. The manufacture of this part is top notch, solid materials, good bends, and beautiful welds (I should know...I'm a welding/robotics consultant!). Rob has a considerable amount of time, money, and development invested in this intake!
Once again...the good stuff. There's been no dyno run (yet), multiple people involved, and we all have schedules. I can say, from the calibrated butt sensor, that there definitely feels like a difference! The car seems to pull a good deal harder now...especially above 2,800 rpm. Flooring the throttle in 4th gear at 80 MPH definitely puts a smile on my face! Throttle response seems to be improved as well, not surprising when you compare the path of incoming air now to the stock airbox. A few days ago, we had a couple of inches of snow so everyone was driving like grandma in Florida, that is to say very very slow! I figured it was a good time to test the temperature of the intake. I drove in 1st and 2nd gear most of the way to work, never exceeding 30 MPH. High rev + slow speed = underhood heat! The temp of the intake was in the 90 degree area at it's hottest point...everywhere else was in the 190+ degree area. This was measured with a Fluke IR thermometer, the same one we use at work to measure the temperature of tooling and welds, a very accurate device.
The other big improvement is the sound. Much like the SRT6 intake from NeedsWings, you can really hear the engine suck up the air now! If you just snap the throttle now you can hear that big sucking sound. All through the rev range the car sounds healthier, I've become very attuned to the way my car sounds because I have 25000 miles on her and I rarely listen to the radio. Now, I can probably rip the radio out and save a couple of pounds.
Overall, this is a very impressive product. If anyone asks for my opinion I'd definitely recommend it!
