Litespeed titanium intake

DEpointfive0

Sorry to be a party pooper, but this intake system is MORONIC because of all the cuts and bends. The goal of airflow is to SMOOTH it out, not create excess turbulence.

True, manrel bent would be better and I'm disappointed that didn't happen with the shallower bends, although I understand the cutting with the tighter bends. At least with intakes, the cross section is much larger so airflow isn't as high and hopefully the cuts don't make much difference. I'm mostly interested in weight savings over a steel intake and for me, a good excuse to go back and drill out my radiotor support. Didn't do that for my takedas and that pinch in the silicone tubing probably creates more turbulence then these cuts ever could.

Very Nice....

These look awesome. Would really love to see some solid Dyno numbers one day from these intakes. Anything close to the stillens and I'd jump on them.

That looks nice OP. In for the dyno numbers.

What kind of results do these produce? Anything special about them??

They are titanium.
(and use Green filters)
Litespeed claims similar gains to other CAI's. Will have to see the dyno graphs first though.

I'm sure pricing+specs will turn up here in a day or two:

The lack of any mention of price so far really scares me though.

Titanium can not be bent into tight bends, so it has to be cut, and welded. Each cut is made with a computer controlled water jet cutter, for accurate cuts. The inside of the pipe is surprisingly smooth, as the welds are really clean.

The intake flow is WELL (order of magnitude) into the turbulent flow regime. If the inside diameter of the pipe is consistent, flow difference between this and a mandrel bent tube is negligible.
