Hopefully we will meet at T-hill some time. Have you signed up for any up comming track days ?

Well, I was hoping the intake would give me 20hp/tq or so.

I really don't want to cut any of the stock pieces up to make it work though. Even though I have been modding, i still have been trying to keep a stock look/keep all stock parts. Hence I'm a bit iffy. If i go that route I would have to buy another rear plastic thing that I have to cut up.

 

Enrique: Who told you you could expect 20 hp out of a CF airbox? You shoulnd't see ANY HP increase with the engine and mods you have on that car. Under 700 HP it gets all the air it needs with the stock airbox. If you do some searches here and on Rennlist, this issue has been discussed before...and I have yet to see a dyno sheet that showed an advantage over the stock airbox when running bolt-ons at your HP level. Some guys who track have actually gone back to the stock airbox after buying the aftermarket ones.

This isn't going to set well with the folks who sell them, but this forum is about telling it like it is (or at least how YOU "think it is") with the glamour and glitz removed. You should spend your money on something that has a proven track record....literally. You wont' knock off any time at T-hill with an airbox...suspension would be a better focus.

I haven't signed up for any recent runs at T-hill. The economy has trimmed my wings a bit...but I will fly again.

 

Thanks Chuck for your honest opinion. I had a Air Box before, and I didn't like it to much. I though this dual snorkle thing would be diffrent, but I guess not. I guess I'll go back to more weight reduction mods, since those are always good We should meet up sometime, I'm located in Davis, about 20-30 mins away from you.

 

Won't work because the 996tt connects to on turbo duct vs the two either side on the 997tt platform. Also at T-hill any intake you're thinking of doing you're going to need to make sure it's completely secure in terms of funneling cool air vs hot air. The temps are so high out there.

 

The Dual Flow has been proven to add power, add tq, improve throttle response, and improve cooler airflow.

 

Dan...where's the beef? I dont' want to get into point/counterpoint...but this airbox thing has been beat to death. The majority of the pro side are using butt dynos for performance "verification". The only true advantage for bigger air boxes I've seen is the guys running the bigger HP engines that need to breathe better with larger turbos, intakes, intercoolers, throttle bodies, exhaust systems etc. For the majority of us who run in the 500-600 range, this is a bit of overkill. Your boxes are very nicely laid out...they're artwork and pleasing to the eye, and most likely well made...but they do little for cutting time off a 1/4 mile run, or subtracting weight. That's all I intend to say because I don't feel that I should be trading pros and cons with a sponsor who depends upon sales. I wish you all the best in your marketing efforts. They're very complimentary to the looks of the engine compartment, and quite a few folks have bought them...leave it at that.

 

Wendy's or is that Arby's.
