^ well there ya have it

mengsta

That is correct but if you look and read the description. You will see that this intake product retains the factory upper air box portion like I said in previous posts hehe. So maf mounting is not an issue because I will be using my 07 intake upper box anyway.

DJ08tC

true that, didnt even pay attention to that. Still looks like a stupid design to me. Mine as well just get a cheap short ram

mengsta

I understand where you are coming from.

But this intake actually looks promising since it retain the OEM style, just eliminates the restriction that exists with the OEM intake to begin with. Restrictions such as the resonator on the piping and the "straw" hole that the OEM intake gets it's air from haha. I guess its just based on tastes. But this intake seems pretty cool. I just wanted to start a discussion. I already came to the conclusion that this will work on a 07 no problem. Its just not CARBED for the 07+ which is why the PN only states for the 05-06.

Anybody else have this? I want some opinions from current owners haha.

This I think was designed for providing power without giving too much attention. We have had this unit on our website for the past 6-7 months.

We have had a few calls, PMs and emails about it, but other than that, nothing else.

Yea but 300 some dollars for basically a short ram intake is insane. You can to the all of that stuff you mentioned for like 40 bucks. drisotope has the direction on his site to modify the oem intake to where he saw some decent temperature decreases.

paul_dezod

I am not saying the price is justifiable by any means. Let me clarify that.

DJ08tC

no i was talking to the other guy.

mengsta

Yeah the price is high true that!

get an K&N panel filter, remove the charcoal filter on the stock airbox and swisscheese the lower half of the air box. cops wont know since it looks stock anyway. thats what i did.

mengsta

I understand why you would do that, thanks for the advice.

But I'd rather not swiss cheese my OEM intake box =). Just in case I ever need it back or whatever.

gjpjr84

one thing i wondered was how/if it would work with a S/C'd tC.

DJ08tC

you could probably modify the intake tube to work with the supercharger.

paul_dezod

My thoughts exactly. If you did, it would probably work some wonders for it.

HKSpeed

thats why i bought a spare unmodified on ebay for $15. the lower half is the same for all tC, so you dont have to worry about specific model years (like the maf sensor).

mengsta

Oh cool yeah buying a spare would be a good idea, if I did that. Once I get this intake, I will let you guys know how it is. In terms of fitment and quality and my thoughts on it.

gjpjr84

if this installs like i think it does, i wouldn't need to modify anything.
just install the lower frame/heatshield and that filter to the top half of the airbox.

the tubing to the throttle body wouldn't be needed at all. the intake tubing for the supercharger should still be able to mate up the the top half of the intake like normal.

DJ08tC

yea you are probably right after looking at pics.

mengsta

Yup just ditch the K&N tubing as well, you are right. Just use the lower portion. I believe this is a cool design. The price is just high for what you receive compared to other intakes, which is why not a lot of people are on this.

mengsta

Don't mean to bump an old thread that seems like it kinda died, but I believe I promised a few members on here that I would show them the conclusion once I got the item.

Overall I am very happy about the intake. If you have the extra money to spend on an intake, I would recommend this. Bought it, love it, and I don't have any plans to try any other intake. Plus this is the only CARB intake for the 05-06. Intake will fit 07+ with no problems, but the CARB number shouldn't be valid. Contact us for sales on this intake.
