Slopeslider

My sweet wife hooked me up with a Fabspeed MaxFlo Competition Intake for my birthday. Being the kid that I am, filled with anticipation, I couldn't wait to get it installed and promptly took care of business. It is a loverly bit of eye candy.


I did measure the air intake temps and once you are moving over 45 miles an hour it is within 5 degrees or less of the outside ambient temp. When you are going very slow / standing the temps do increase a fair amount over ambient. From a performance perspective it does feel like I have improved throttle response. The grunt over 5K RPM is pretty wicked. I tried to catch the sound on a little video I made with my iPhone. My son's facial expressions crack me up. He looks a little scared but said he had a lot of fun.


All in all I feel it's a worth while mod. I also have the FabSpeed MaxFlo exhuast so this compliments it well. Next mod on the list B&M SSk. I am also looking for an ECU tune to maximize the improved breathing. Any suggestions? I would prefer one I could load myself via OBDII.

I just asked my gf if she bought me a cold air intake for my birthday (its on tues).
Once we got past the deer in the headlights look with a brief explanation of what a cai is...she advised that i did not get one
Yup u got a keeper

Great vid, nice sounds(music and intake). Looks like your son enjoyed the ride and being with Dad.

You weren't turning hard enough if your son is able to cross his arms the whole time and not be grabbing the o $hit handle.

Now what's for Christmas?

Slopeslider

Lol Alpine! So true, unfortunately not much in the way of curves around here . I'm thinking a B&M ssk would be a lot of fun on the track .

Vancouver and BitEm she is definitely a keeper. Just celebrated 20 years on the 12th.

Barn996 thanks we had great fun.

Thanks to posts like this, some of us guys can use it as ammo. haha.

Akshun you won't regret it. The sound is intoxicating.

It's a great sound. Performance improvement is specious but I like mine too. You'll love the B&M SSK, esp on the track -- one of my best mods in terms of bang for the buck.

996_C4s put the B&M on last week. I haven't had much opportunity to drive it yet. Decided to have my console recovered in leather while it's out since its showing wear and tear. Waiting on Robert Budd at Classic9 to get the piece to me. Can't wait to get back out on the track and try the B&M ssk out. Hopefully I can hit Roebling in Feb.
