#1- I don't need a S-A-L-E-S-M-A-N to explain anything to me. The "opinion" is biased from the outset. What are they going to say "No, no, no...you silly fool. Don't buy my 1000 dollar intake which has no proven gains (unlike the AEM which CONSISTENTLY dynos for 5rwhp).
#2- You need to read up on physics. Once you do, you'll see the merits of most of the mentioned intakes as well as their shortcomings. For example, the "creating a positive pressure wave" effect that you attempted to explain , is called The Helmholtz Effect aka "ram air". Its the reason that J's, Comptech and the new AEM have the "bulges". Its a chamber that serves to tune to pressure waves so that are additive in effect.
#3- MANY factors must be considered in intake design, including length of the runner, ANGLES and diameter of the pipe. Now, listen up b/c this is important, very sharp angles are bad. Repeat after me, sharp angles are bad.

Well, thanks for your eloquent response. You obviously have forgotten more than I will ever know and for this, you deserve the coveted "Assclown Type R" award.

BTW, I was intially calling BS on Mugen, not you.

No one in the US has provided any phsycially documented proof that there is a region of positive pressure behind the front bumper.

However I do not doubt that there is a positive enough resevoir of pressure to adequately allow for the intake to flow all it needs and more. Still it is unlikely that there is a "ram air" effect as you are probably imagining in your oh so mature and well spoken head.

We have spend quite a bit over time over here breaking down the physics of each individual intake system. TenBlade knows this background information and his opinions are based on the physical characteristics of each system. Frankly that's all you have for most of these intakes because they require the car to be at speed to show an effect.

As for your response:

You need to grow up and learn to respect other peoples opinions. If you disagree do it in a level headed manner and you will get respect. If you approach everything in life with such an immature attitude you are going to find many dead ends where others find open road.

It's amazing when your young you think you know everything. As you get older you just begin to realize how little you actually know.

so the spoon air duct wouldn't be effecient??

Tenblade,

Can I use the assclown type R?

I love that!

Again, there are MANY variables to consider. True, the Spoon has a pretty sharp angle, so there's an increase in "head loss" which a big determinate of flow. But, the theoretical trade off, is (1) colder air (2) a longer runner, which should help with higher end power vs. a shorter runner which is designed for more low-end, throttle response.

Its yours!

any comment on this? looks like the aem v2 but it has a 'dry charger' which 'Provides added protection by repelling water from entering the intake tract.'


i was thinking about getting a kn filter myself

Bauahahah STOP the Flame war People common!

AEM v1 The best!

Can we get back on topic please? I don't want to lock this thread down
