Hi guys...Did anybody buy or install the new carbon Fabspeed CAI?
I like the look of that intake and thinking of buying one.

 

I have one in a box in my living room. I might put it on this weekend. It looks cool and I bet its going to sound cool but the HP gains, I suspect, are bogus. Look for a thread on Rennlist called Fabspeed Maxflo Air Intake. Something like that. I will post the results on that thread if I ever put the damn thing on!

 

col loking forward to that...i dont know about HP gain but the design is clean and simply awesome

 

LOL how we follow each other around on the net...yes take Hapich's advice on that thread..

 

Followed Hapich from the other site to remind him. Im getting fat with all the popcorn and soda already. lol

 

The sucker doesn't fit and I am sending it back. Fabspeed was very professional about it and we will see what happens.

 

What part of it didn't fit? I keep hearing all these stories about Fabspeed parts not fitting on people cars here and rennlist. Don't they ever test fit any parts before claiming that it's for a specific model?

 

hmm...i never have fitment issue with fabspeed...

 

First the threaded holes for the MAF were off. The support strut doesn't meet the intake tube. The geometry of the intake tube has something to be desired.
The bracket to recess the air pump worked well. It looks great and the workmanship is top notch I will say.
I will let you know how Fabspeed handles it. So far they sound determined to make this right.

 

So did some other users here installed that Fabspeed Intake ??

I installed the new CAI. Once installed, it looks and works great. There are a couple more pics of the install in my gallery.

It was a bit of a bear to sort out how to install it. Once you have the support strut installed you have to put everything together loosely and then work it into place before you tighten the support strut connection and the boot that connects the tube to the intake.

The guys at Fabspeed were very helpful. I have a complete exhaust system from them and the fitment was perfect.
