Thanks Brandon, I'll follow this order through and get them out ASAP. I believe both are in stock and should ship Monday, a couple of days to you.. and it'll time for the install..

When you get these installed and finished, let me know, I would love to meet up in Houston and hear/see your car.

There are a few on here already, I will either be getting mine in April or May, two dealerships have one coming in that I want, just seeing who gives me the best price.

RCZ.. so are you planning to remove the little plastic pieces to actually make the fangs a bit more functional?

For sure, that's going to be part of the next step I think. I have to get the oil temperatures to remain stable if I want to be able to use the car on the track. A trackday is always the make or break test. If somethings going to melt, rub, grind or make noise...that's where it will happen. These intakes need to go on the track to finish their testing.

Cool. Let us know your progress there!

I am still assuming you do not feel the filters blocking the radiator some will cause problems... True?

The intercooler only needs air to pass through it, intake filters 'consume' the air so it doesn't just pass through an on to the radiator.

That said, I agree they are pretty small and won't likely make a difference.

Guys, honestly, enough with this debate. The intakes will not cause anything to happen to the radiator performance and they are getting enough air. If you want to talk about this, start a new thread. This stuff is senseless. There's been ten million times before where people have put things in front of a radiator and nothing has happened. An intercooler will not only block flow, but it will also heat the air going into the radiator. Theoretically these things make sense, but in practice they dont make discernible a difference!

RCZ's right. How many 944 turbos do you sitting on the side of the road overheated? The intercooler is in front of the radiator.
