The Frankencar intake is not a CAI nor a popcharger (HAI) design intake. I belive it is a hybrid intake. So, my question is, what makes this intake a hybrid one?

 

People call it a "hybrid" because it incorporates the upper section of a CAI with the "pop" style filter used in a WAI or HAI.

 

is there any difference from the frankencar intake vs. the one that is being sold on ebay...the K&N with midpipe attachment?

Nope, same thing.

 

The FrankenCar midpipe has longer extensions on it.

 

So the Frankencar is better. Correct?

 

Longer extensions don't equate to better a better intake. Those extensions don't have anything to do with performance. The one on Ebay can do the same thing as the Frankencar intake. For real performance though, you should get the Fast Lane Performance intake. It gives you a direct ram path to the throttle body and has the sickest sound ever heard on a Max.

 

The Frankencar is better suited for Mamixa's because DMBMaxima designed them for the VQ. That pipe on ebay doesn't even have long extentions on it. Buy the Frankencar. Steve will give you agood deal and he will help you with the install. I have the Frankencar and it rocks!

 

yea.. i have the franken mid pipe.. that thing is sick.. and loud past 3k rpm.. i like how its still quiet driving around normally.. but when u need to speed up and pass someone..they can hear the beast that is FRANKENCAR haha... i had the stillen intake before too.. by itself.. it wasnt as loud and powerful as w/ the mid pipe..

it was a good buy .. u should get franken car too

 

Frankencar it is. Is there anything else I need except for the silver intake package? Does or will gas mileage differ??

 

You MPG will go down because you will always be flooring your car to feel the pull and hear the tight sound

 

A few extra bucks at the gas station is worth it!!!!

 

where can i check out the fast lane intake...i tryed fastlaneperformance.com but i didnt see any intakes

 

If your doing highway cruising, you will gain mileage. Around the city it will go to hell because of the desire to want to hear the growl.

 

lol, yeah, milage is affected by the user

 

after steve installed it for me at the NE meet.. on the way home i got 5mpg.. cuz the intake was awesome

 

yeah, i cant wait to go out tonight, it will be the first time out with a car the purrs

 

Looks like I'll do without the radio when I get the Frankencar.
The purr will be like Music to my ears.

 

is it worth getting the frankercar with the pop charger or just get the frankercar with its filter as one?

 

i have the midpipe with the JWT pop and it is AWESOME
