Cold air intake kit - YES or NO

Yeah, but if you run it thru the A/C as an intercooler you could net +280 H.P.

The stock intake you have is about as cold as it is going to get. Do you mean cold or more free-flowing? You can foil wrap the intake for reduced radiation heat transfer.

More free-flowing will put you into the world of experimentation.

de snorkling is probably the best overall mod you can make. It takes 15 minutes and you ll swear the car has a 100 HP increase. Plus, it will sound like a PORSCHE then! There are plenty of posts about how to do it and I think one even showed a dyno graph indicating a 5 HP advantage!!!!

De-snork it fo sho!!! unless you like the "nancy" sound your intake makes right now...
even adding "Spectre" pipping from the TB to your factory airbox helps sound and airflow... Im on the side of CAI are better, but then again im looking at enlarging my TB/plenum etc etc

FYI desnorking also does not give you as smooth of a power curve as with the snorkel in. Just saying.

I find if I have the windows cracked a bit, I can easily get another 15 to 18 hp.

J.D, I thought you had your intake routed to under your seat for that extra methane boost that got you 500 extra hp?

Try cracking just the left one....It will double your hp gain

On my 'S' (see picture of my ride posted under the 'paint job' thread) i routed piping straight from the exhaust tips. It passes through a particulate filter in the trunk to return it to 'pure breathing quality air'.

Then the second phase is a liquid nitrogen 'infuser' which turns the air ice cold and very dense which is then finally piped directly onto the snorkle and forced down the plenum.

The power at the wheels has been dyno'd at 480bhp of usable power!

I didn't need to re-map the ECU as i am running a 'flux capicitor' in the space where i did my console delete. This justifes the air/fuel mixture whilst ensuring traction is maintained.

Quite a simple DIY mod and only needed a torx driver!

Has anyone ever tried a hot air intake ?

She obviously hasn't been on this forum................

you just know she hasn't de-ambered! what a rookie!
