The supercharger intake is there to provide air to pressurize within the supercharger. More airflow, less restriction. But it needs to be filtered. Spinning parts and pressure and ****, bugs, yea... That's why they don't just leave that **** wide open! The stock confguration was restrictive as all hell and also deafens the banshee like wail of the supercharger... It's like giving removing the resonator and de-neuterizing the "mercedes mandated limitations" to the srt6 along with fuel economy prioritization over performance, in a marketing standpoint.
It's really not all that complicated. 900$ for an intake is some bull. Period. No point intrying to argue with me how much I'm missing out either because I would rather put that money into a better sc pulley, larger intercooler or even a meth kit.
Also, to do front mount, i forgot, 90$ kit shipped to move the vaccuum line out of the way.... More pointless money wasting. How much are the filters? Seriously. People waste money on some oretty dumb stuff imo. I try to save my money as much as possible!!!
I hope you didn't mis understand me.. you get two thumbs up in my books.. There is the hardcore race group in here that feel anyone who gives up any available horsepower over spending $$ has just wasted anything they may have spent. And I'm not going to sit here and say "you gave up any HP increase by not going NeedsWings". Kinda like I've stated over my front lip/spoiler "I like it and I'm the one that counts where my car is concerned".
