Doesn't look very "Cold Air"

It may be prove to be a good intake but to me it seems dumb to have used filters with capped tops since they sit right behind the fresh air ducts in the core support. I know they have versions with filtered tops like this:

Maybe it doesn't make a difference, who knows...

But intakes are made for the engine, so that would actually be correct nomenclature.

Do they retail for 1k?

Has anyone done temperature analysis in these areas? I was under the impression that our cars had passages which led cool air to these areas. I read somewhere that the stock air boxes are already cold air intakes.

Could it be possible that there isn't much of a difference between temperatures in the grill and engine bay due to the 370's design?

that much power and the temp went up 7 degrees?!?! que? seems to good to be true!

redroadster10 · 04-30-2010, 10:47 AM

14.2 hp with shorter tubing compared to the injens 15 hp an stillens 18 hp longer tube intakes......... is this even true ? i like opening the hood an being able to see the filters an with gains that good for a shorter tube intake i would def be interested in this only if this is true

Me too but those gains seem quite optimistic.

ilive2win · 04-30-2010, 01:31 PM

i have them installed, i like them, but i doubt its gains above 7 hp. i havent done any dyno runs with them installed but def doesnt feel like 14hp. i was one of the test cars used by k&n. great product but i dont think the gains are that much in reality, but i dont feel any heat soak, and the intakes do have heat shields. i didnt want to get any crazy intakes though because i want to maybe supercharge it later, so i went with free intakes
