$670 a piece...wow that's expensive. The performance gains you will get with this intake over a simple $130 dollar dual cone is no where near worth that kind of premium.
If your going for looks...well that's a different story. I prefer the look of the INJEN....that's a badass intake. |

I'm struggling with this. Even though the air filters sits in an extreme corner away from the engine, where does it get its cold air from? At 6000 rpm and 0.5 bar boost a 3.0 ltr engine is sucking in about 13 m3 of air a minute. As a rough guess i assume that is 20 times the free space under the hood, eg every 3 seconds all that air is being sucked in. The far majority (if not only) of air coming into the engine bay is thru radiator and intercooler, unless one changes, and utilizes the airduct going to the brakes. But even then that flow would be minimal compared to what comes thru radiator and intercooler.
I can't do this in imperials, but if you had a proper 4" (that's 10cm to me) dia intake in the bumper directly going into the engine that 13 m3 would translate in 29 mtr/sec intake speed (or 104kph / 65mph) Thus unless you have that 4" intake, and do 65mph before flooring the throttle (and some other physical losses aside), i kind of wonder where all that cold air comes. |

- remove the half plastic plate covering the lower left grill. easiest way to get to this is by removing your driver side front wheel and accessing through the plastic tirewall (whatever its called) - remove all the airduct plastic forcing the air directly on the brakes Now you have a large open section which funnels air straight to your brakes and filter. Does this help? Who knows. It seems logical to me. BTW, I have the UR CAI. |

I have the UR also and the suction noise it makes is quite addicting to hear when you get on it....sounds like someone sipping out of a king kong size straw!
