I think the C3P intake removes the back panel from the OEM Y and replaces it with a filter. It’s not going to see the gains of a Needswings, SL55 or BDJ’s intake but it does offer an improvement over stock.

If you want whine…
Needswings or C3P

 

Does anyone know the horsepower gain of each?

 

Here you go.

+26 hp over stock

Needswings
average before = 297.31 hp 283.69 tq
average after = 323.13 hp 304.58 ft /lbs of tq
average gain = of 25.82 hp and 20.89 tq for a bone stock car.

+25.82 hp over stock

 

From Car & Driver magazine regarding the overall impression of
driving the SRT6:

"A supercharger that is felt but not heard runs on sophisticated engineering".

 

Thanks for the advice.

Would anyone have a pic of the SL55 intake handy? I tried to do a google image search for it, and came up with nothing useful. I just want to satisfy my curiosity and figure out what the main differences are between the SL55 intake and the stock intake. TIA.

 

If you want the obnoxious but awesome whine, buy a 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra.

 

Since the needswings is the only true fresh air intake outside of the engine bay, in theory I believe your hp will increase in actual outside conditions. An even greater increase with cold air entering into the filter as you accelerate. That's why it whines when you see them in the vids making wide open throttle runs. It's the air being sucked in from the front of the grill. If you sit in your drive way and rev the rpms, it won't be as evident as driving down the road. Your throttle body can only suck in so much air, at which point it doesn't matter if you have 4 pipes going in. Now someone should try extending one all the way out front and the other in the engine bay and get some results.

 

Here's a couple pic's of my SL55 "Y", but if you want to see the difference between the OEM SRT 6 "Y" & the SL55 "Y" do a search on ShawnQ. He has a post on the board somewhere showing both of them.

 

took my friend for a ride , he now call's my car BIG MOUTH LOL....

 

Here is a pic of my Aero with the SL55 intake installed. I get lots of air but not a lot of whine. I can hear the whine briefly when I stomp on it, then I just hear the engine roar.

Here are some pictures of my SL55 intake setup - more comparison photos in my gallery and write-up, just click on the link in my signature.

The SL55 intake, like the factory intake, draws in air from outside the engine compartment. - I also like the fact that the air filters are not exposed to bugs, road grime and water. There is also the option of using K&N filters.

All of the after-market intakes do a great job. All you really need to do is remove the restrictions designed into the factory setup. (radiator support and y-pipe) Perhaps this is how Chrysler was able to "scale down" the HP rating to 330HP? when you look at MB pictures - these restrictions (other then the Y-pipe) are not there.

I figured if the SL55 intake makes the HP for the V8 AMG supercharged motor - it will provide the HP on the V6 AMG motor.

 

i love the fact that it still looks factory and the power is the same as a needswings.

 

My supercharger "whines" louder than my girlfriend!

BDJ's Racing Intake

 

wow looks nice .. here is mine ..
NEEDSWINGS

 

so do you think the ultimate intake would be taking those rubber tubes off the needswings intake and putting one on each side of the bdj and taking the curve pipe in the front and moving the bdj to the front where the needswings is. it would be a mirrored needswings cai.

 

Until somebody not using a NW intake cracks the first page on drag times, lets refrain from making the "equal power" claims.

 

The driver side pass through is the issue. Needswings tried it and could not do it from what Rob told me.

 

Not when shes with me.

J/K...sorry, i had an energy drink

 

I am not taking her to the track with me anymore!
