My New LiteSpeed Racing Titanium Cold air Intake
 
8 Attachment(s)
About a month back I bought my new intakes. In my search for a cold air intake I wasn’t in love with anything on the market (I've had the car for pretty much two years come October so been looking for a while) until Litespeed Racing titanium cold air intakes came out. This is my first modification for the car and I’m happy with my decision yes they are expensive but no regrets. Install took about 3 hours mainly because we were trying to be careful to not scratch the intakes. Same install as the stillen G3

Pros
*The intakes look amazing.
*Though I can not actually hear the intakes the sound of my engine has changed. sounds aggressive.
*Customer service is a 10/10 no problems at all fast responses.
*Most important no check engine light or codes and I feel more of a response in the car in which im happy about.
Cons
*The clamps suck and they are to small and need to be replaces they feel cheap. But no big deal I used the stock clamps.
*You really need to be careful not to scratch the intakes.
*And the Air senor did not fit in the intakes, Had to sand down the intakes in order for them to fit.
*Also now that the intakes are in my engine bay they look small. Buy look fancy.

Nice CAI. Any plan to tune+dyno?

DarkJak 07-11-2013 07:03 AM

AFAIK, there hasn't been a single published dyno test on these yet, even though Litespeed said they dyno'd similarly to other CAIS.

From the looks of it, the tubing is on the smaller side. Coud you measure the outer diameter?

Did you have to cut through the core support like the G3’s?

I've never did a baseline so I wouldn't know the real gains even if I did a dyno test. Yea i'll have to measure tomorrow just got home from a 10 work day.

Dear lord please tell me you didn't pay a lot for these?

Chuck33079 07-11-2013 10:31 PM

Ti usually means you paid a fortune for it. I'm afraid to ask.

Chuck33079 07-12-2013 07:24 AM

Wow, that's pricey. Ti always is. It's expensive and a pain in the *** to work with. It looks sweet, though.

MacLean 07-12-2013 07:39 AM

What's confusing? He paid $900 for a pipe! People in Africa are starving and he paid $900 for some tube that does nothing over anyone else. Hell he paid $400-$500 more for some pipe that only weighs a few ounces less than other people's aluminium pipe. He paid $700-$800 over drop ins for a whopping 3 hp if he's lucky and that will only be in part of the powerband he won't be able to feel or will probably ever use. Just wow! Where's the bend over and get rapped icon?? :icon23:
