Again, this is only just in R&D stages, so limited updates as of yet. Details in thread.

interesting, subd.

Things I would be looking for:

air flow
gains
heat soak
sound
throttle response
ease of filter maintenance
hydrolock
cost

Is it plug n play ? or tune required?

Probably have to read thru the gazillion pages on the thread above. Sorry I do not know. I started reading the thread a long time and never finished it. Maybe post the question on that thread for a quick reponse.

After factoring in all the heat soak that the short rams will be susceptible to, the gains should be around the same for half the cost. Although it won't sound as cool.

past 7000rpm yea

If you plan on doing a bunch of other breather mods (exhaust, cats) you'll probably get minimal gains with any intake solution.
You'll have to remove the bumper yearly.

No, it's more than that...



Assume another 3-4 with the tubes.
