Default Needswings Intake

Just installed my intake from Needswings. It arrived yesterday, it was finished in red and looked great. Install was easy, and would be for anyone with a basic set of tools and some mechanical know how.

The car sounds crisper during acceleration, picks up quicker and felt faster, per my butt dyno. I know the topic of cold air intakes and who to buy from is brought up constantly and some people opt to go a different route from Rob and Needswings, but the price is worth it. I now wish that I would have went ahead and got the dual for my N/A but that would probably be a bit of overkill.

I would not hesitate to recommend Rob or the intake for any Crossfire.

Happy modding.

Rob has developed a pretty good reputation. So has his product.

Fall is coming with crisp cool dense air. Those new tubes will light you up.

Happy drivin'

That's great to hear! I just bought a Needswings single CAI over the weekend and I'm looking forward to installing it this week!

I was scratching my head when I read you said it was an "easy install" . You went with the single. The dual is a whole different ball of wax. The right side is very tight and there are a few more issues involved with the dual. Took me the better part of about 8 hrs to get it right. Lots of skinned knuckles. I'd still do it all over again, the car sounds awesome, I also have the Magnaflow cat back.

I too went with the dual CAI for my NA. It also took me the better part of the day, but it was well worth it. Rob is a great guy to work with. Would recommend Needswings to any one.

thanks for the kind words

once the power steering line is swapped out the rest goes together quickly.

please email over a picture of the red kit installed if you don't mind and i'll add it to the website

So what you're saying is that I'll need a full case of beer to install the NW CAI, 74mm TB, TVT intake manifold, injectors and spark plugs this weekend?
