Just finished first article today of the Agency Power 997.2TT TRUE cold air intake. Took the car for a test drive and it is awesome! This is the same Project 997.2TT we have been working on as seen here - http://www.vividracing.com/blog/proj...997-2-turbo-2/.

It features dual K&N cone filters that slide into the back of the intake box making a perfect seal. The top has wide openings to allow the dual snorkels to come and close for high flow cool air like stock. NO ENGINE HEAT. The carbon fiber is all done via prepreg process and then clear coat. Flawless.

Will have dyno numbers and video soon!

 

Could you please define true cold air intake? Is there any empirical data supporting your claim of no engine heat?

 

I'm with Quantum

How do the bellows seal to the top of the airbox? It obvious it does not seal from this picture? It looks good though...

 

And from the angle of this particular picture it looks like it's not even completely sealed from the bottom section either.

I agree with you TestJet, from the perspective of aesthetics it looks great, however from an engineering point of view the capitalized claim is entirely false.

 

Thank you for your questions. Here are pictures so you can see this is a FULL complete enclosed airbox. There is no bottom or back opening. We designed the rear holes so they fit and seal when you push the K&N cone into the carbon box. This makes it very easy to install and change the filter or clean it. What I mean by TRUE cold air intake is the intake is a sealed box getting the cool air from the air snorkels like stock. Other system on the market have the filters in the engine bay with no way to keep the airflow directed. This is the same thing we did with our 997.1 Turbo Air Intake Kit Here.

As far as your comment about the top seal, like it says, this is the first article, and a "sneak peak". The factory snorkels actually sit in the correct position, but the cutouts are enlarged. We will be making changes here shortly.







Thank you as always for your information requests.

 

Very nice!

 

Since you evidently enjoy answering customer's questions, how would this be any more beneficial compared to the factory intake system? Are you implying that compared to other intake systems available in the market this is the least detrimental to performance?

Have you conducted any experiments to determine the air temperature in the box to provide to the community? It would definitely contribute to the integrity of your product if you can show how this system is superior to the others available.

Thanks Dan!

 

Looks good and later Dan will give us a performance review. I still run the stock box and paper filters but would change it out to a carbon fiber box just on looks alone; so long as I did not lose any performance.

 

Robert - I have an intake for you that uses the stock airbox/K&N/BMC and adds a extra snorkel. http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...5-p-54604.html

Running the car on the dyno, will have results and video shortly.

As far as tests with thermocouplers and temperature readings, etc.... yes we have done that in the past, see here - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...w-project.html. The validity in our product is our customer hands, units sold, and product reviews. I feel we do quite well with our products and as a sponsor since 2006, there are plenty of people that will agree. I would never test a product against another one because in this industry and with the forum police, that is a no no. The reason I say our intake is "better" is because we make a complete enclosed box like factory. Regardless, should have this released soon. Thanks!

 

I would rather keep it stock looking and go with a stock carbon fiber replacement (not a dual snorkel).

 

If you would like that, I can do that. Just PM me.

 

Much to be expected and will post results later...

The intake, like others built in the past, create a huge amount of low end torque, improve on the midrange, and then taper off. The main reason is the stock exhaust. The car is getting alot more air, the car takes that power and then basically goes to move it out to a plug aka the stock exhaust. The gains of the intake with the exhaust would be much more. Usually people do the stages of Flash, Exhaust, Intake. If this pattern was kept, the overall package would be quite a difference. We generally like to test our products on a stock car to show what just a bolt on would do. Our dynos varied between 500 and 525ft/lbs. Info to be posted later.

Our test 997.2TT is back to stock right now. Maybe down the road the owner will let us try it with the flash, exhaust, intake, ypipe

BTW would you dig this intake in Kevlar???

 

I have to ask, is this 100% carbon fiber, or layered over fiberglass?

 

That intake sure is pretty! One of the best products I have seen (asthetics wise) from AP. Nice Work Dan!

 

That brings up a good question Dan.

Who designed the airbox? What about the mold? I think this is beyond your capability and vivid/ap had no part in that process.
