Two Intake Options

[Nick79749]

Couple of updates.

Hopefully coming to market will be:

Carbon Fiber Intake Pipe to remove the resonator pipe from the intake system for guys looking to utilize the stock air box.
Carbon Fiber Intake System

Plastic Intake from turbo inlet over.

I am working with two manufactures on these, should hopefully have some updates mid next week for those guys antsy to get some more turbo noise/better driving experience. Since these are simple setups they will be rather inexpensive when released.

I will attempt to monitor IAT while they are installed however it is likely that it will increase with an open air filter setup, but would be no different then most other aftermarket intakes for other systems.

This is interesting

Higher IAT's are why I stay away from open air filter intakes.
For me, intakes must be functional and improve overall performance.

Understood, I am just being real and transparent and not overselling an idea.

Almost every aftermarket intake for just about any platform out there runs a higher IAT. Thing being is people do not normally pay attention to IAT until they put an intake on. One of the reasons we opted for plastic or carbon with both of these mfg's is to keep the IAT's down vs a metal tube for sure.

Hey it very well may end up with the same or lower, but we won't know until we drive the thing with the parts installed. Just don't want to get anyone's hopes extremely high and come back with nothing.

We appreciate your honesty.

I agree that the majority of aftermarket intakes run higher IAT's, which is why I avoid them. And your choice of using plastic/carbon tubes is a smart one.

But for me, I'd have to see data comparisons between OEM IAT's vs. aftermarket intake IAT's. That's the drag racer in me. Now if people want to get an aftermarket intake to dress up the engine bay for car shows (at the possible expense of performance) that's fine. I get that. Good luck to you!

We don't know anything for certain here until we test them but not going for dress up on these.

Half of the MFG's that spit out data comparison is on intake/exhaust numbers is inflated heavily. Plus most of that stuff is monitored on a dyno with a huge fan blowing at it which isn't real world conditions. Essentially giving out those kind of video game numbers of +20 hp +30 tq etc Lol.

Here we go

Leg Maker Intakes -

Intake noise is present, unfortunately the test filter is a dirty filter that he sent. Some modifications are being done and we will post pictures during the next revision.

This is a carbon fiber tube hand made in Florida.

FAS Motorsports / 797 Intake - Will be shooting for $299 Retail Price.

This is a plastic intake utilizing an S&B Air filter.

We will make a revision to this intake to place the filter closer to the duct to try and take as much air as possible in.

Turbo / intake noises are present with both(enough to make me smile from in the cabin) , making the overall driving experience more pleasurable.

Both of these intakes we saw around an average of 20 degree higher intake air temp(IAT) than ambient air temp which is about average, monitoring via the JB4. So I'd retract my previous statements as this car has a pretty functional air duct coming directly from the right side bumper vent right to the air intake.

Nice! Looking WAY better than stock, that's for sure. I will definitely be doing something with my intake next summer, might snag one of these then.

I’m sure there will be options by then!

Yes you’ve mentioned that above.

Most modern platforms, net gains from tuning and removing emissions components not intakes & exhausts…this is just something most of us gear heads do to our cars.

Yup heard you previously relate that.

The only tunes/upgrades I ever installed that were worth it to me were Manufacturer produced and CARB approved.
On a Cobalts SS/SC, I had the GMPP (General Motors Performance Parts) Stage 2 installed by a dealer. Bigger injectors/smaller supercharger pulley/tune.
With an Explorer ST I had the Ford Performance tune. It made 30 more hp & 52 more lb feet. Significant performance increase with 3/36 warranty intact.

There's room for both. If you were only looking for performance you'd have stripped out your interior. It's a balance lol

Turbo noises.. yes please.

Turbo noises.. yes please.

So far so good! Got 150 miles and the car is happy. Have a revised air tube going on today. (Improved IAT sensor fitment, and also extending it a little closer to the air inlet and adding ribs to ensure a snug fit.)

Car did a 4 hour trip this weekend while monitoring everything. We are getting closer to production!

Updated with a sound clip as well, likely going to do some dyno pulls with JB4 & without and with stock intake and without so we have the data available too.
