Intake is on, looks 10x better, sounds so good aswell!!

 

looks nice..whered ya get it?

 

Don't you mean HAI? Other tan the tubing size & hi-flow filter, you haven't gained anything but increased flow.

 

How much did it cost to get the top of the engine painted black? I wanna get mine painted chrome

 

I did it myself.. so nothing. lol

 

There's no need to get it painted chrome when you can just polish the aluminum

 

----------
I've been running mine now for the last 3 weeks and it doesn't run any hotter than the OEM cold air system...I'll update that in July/Aug when the hot weather arrives....

 

ha, I have the same intake, and my TPI setup is painted the same too . I didnt notice a difference in sound though.

 

Stephen, we get the point ...

You say this on every post similar to this.

I agree that it's not the best idea for CAI, but it is a lot better (looking and flowing) than stock.

 

if some one would track test it....if it gained I'd buy.

 

There is no way it wouldnt gain, the stock intake, my lungs could not breath through. I have the same intake and it for sure made a small difference. Since my a/c stuff is out there are gaps in front of the radiator where I can see cold air coming to the filter, or at least not hot air.

 

Yes, I do. That's because he is now sucking 100% HOT air, instead of geting the filter near a coooler air source.

Cut a hole below where that filter is, stick the filter down there THEN you'll be acheiving CAI. A little more work, but cooler air is more oxygen (what our engines need) dense. Therefore, hotter air essentially equals less air, in regards to what can be used.

 

Ya gotta admit....he's consistent !!

 

consistant and correct!

 

When I originally bought my 91 it had a k&n stuck on the throttle body. I replaced that with a pvc setup similar to the OP. Noticed absolutely no change in performance. That was also backed up by track outings. Then I swtiched to the single inlet SLP CAI and again noticed NO change. Again backed up by track times. Colder air is better, but I think more hotter air is better than less cooler air.

Example, if you were to run through the desert with small piece of pipe sealed to your mouth, you would make it further than running through the tundra with a coffee straw sealed to your mouth. Restricting your intake in the name of cold air isn't always the smartest idea.

 

It does make alot of sense to have the filter drawing air from a much much cooler outside source. the Bomz "CAI" looks to be your sterotypical import durived intake. The filter being that close to the radiator cant be doing anymore for performance than the stock set up. the SLP set-up is the way to go besides making your own induction system, when my car was stock with no other mods the SLP intake dropped me .3 in the 1/4 mile (from 14.6-14.3) and looks dead stock.
