Needed a change of pace

Judging by the design of the stock intake, it looks like it sacrifices air flow for that sound tube.

Looks that way too. I received this from Perrin when I was asking about the benefits of the new pipe:

So this arrived last night, went to collect it today. Brought tools with me to work so I can install it when the engine is cooler :joy:







Super impressed with the timing on the delivery, Store in Iowa opened on Monday the order was processed and picked up for delivery Tuesday and taken to New York and on a plane Wednesday. Paid the tax while it was being loaded on the plane and landed yesterday.:thumbs:

Thanks @Twinz

The illogical side of me couldn't wait any longer to put the new pipe in... :hammerhead:


trying to figure why there is an extra chamber at the bottom of the stock intake:dunnoanymore: Have reached out to a couple of experts to see what they say.

That's weird. Is it an empty chamber? Maybe it's also for additional sound. Or to collect water/moisture.

I think they call them resonators.

Just does things with sound, it works best in the bin.

the chamber collects moisture / water that might enter the intake system, most N/A cars have them integrated into the airbox, i would imagine this is on the pipe because of space constraints :dunnoanymore:

I will be sending her to the dyno soon, my cousin and I rebuilding his motor and will take them both once the build is complete

Took a small time to adjust to the snappy and mechanical feel that came with the change but I am absolutely loving it now
