this is the best intake in my opinion
what do you think?

 

do you have an auto or 6spd how long to install it or do you have it

 

i have a 6 spd. it took me and my buddy around 40 minutes!!
very easy to install and it sounds unbelievable!!

 

got any pics or dynos--ya can't really say it's the best just b/c it's perty

 

any noticeable performance gains?

 

post some pics of the setup...

 

no pics yet but the dyno is on injen.com!!
a 13 hp. gain @ the wheel...
and for noticable change...you can defaintly tell a difference

 

Must be nice gaining hours on the wheel huh?

Seriously though, the dyno sheet on Injen's website is slightly inaccurate IMHO since it was done in the wrong gear for the 6spd Max.

 

then tell me what you think about it then ?

 

Edit your post: You wrote hrs instead of hp!

 

Not too many of us have this intake. If anything you should be telling us why you think it's the best intake. What good is our opinion when all we've seen so far are pics? It's really shiney

 

how much does it run? and was the dyno third party?

 

270$ shipped

 

Is this a little cheaper? How much would shipping be?

Shady's mentioned the shipping to be $15... so it's definitely cheaper.

 

about $15-20 depends on your location from there location

 

I ordered mine about a week ago (from http://www.adventon.com/)...will have it on Thurs. My shipping (Chicago) was $15. $226 shipped...cant go wrong!

r u a 6spd or auto i am trying to find an auto guy who installed it with no problems

The one thing I see it has going for it (aside from looking very nice) is the folling:

"each kit comes equipped with hardware, vibra-mounts and CNC machined brackets that are tig welded to each intake for a perfect show-quality fit every time."

Isn't Vibration the going theory for MAF sensors failing? Would Vibra-Mounts help cut down on this and preventing premature MAF failures?

 

i've already lost one maf with the injen. it gave out at 2500 rpm in second under light acceleration so i'm suspect of the vibration theory. i'm starting to think that it might be quick changes in air pressure and humidity. any thoughts?

 

I think it is a faulty design. I too blew a MAFS and noticed the new one they put in is differnet looking than the old one. The actual design of the part in the MAF is not the same. Hopefully this one will be better.

I agree with you, TellschMax02. Vibration may be a contributing factor, but I doubt it's the primary cause of the problem. After all, MAFs are failing with OEM intakes, and vibration is not a factor with those.

 

no way, really? how do you tell the difference? this is potentially very good news. i'll go disassemble the whole thing right now to find out which one mine is.

 

Yes. Really!

 

Since I am on my third one - I wanted to take a look and see what, if anything, is different. The first 2 were identical looking, but this new one (1 week old) is a little different. Nothing drastic, but the outside of the sensor and the general design is a little different.

I am guessing this a result of that TSB. I actually feel somewhat confident on this one - not sure why, but I do.

Brian

 

i don't have the first one so i can't tell if the second one is redesigned but whatever way it's fine because i paid for it and it's covered under a 12 months parts warranty. the only thing that will suck is breaking down on the interstate.

 

I really know nothing about cars so... what the heck are yall talking about with maf (which mean what?) failing
someone shed some light on it for me

 

mass air flow sensor

 

I don't recall who posted it, but a while back one member attached a sketch of how his old and new MAF sensor looked like.

Whoever you are, kindly post it again. Thanks

 

so what is it and what does it look like... what does it do"?
and why is it messing up?

 

Ok. This explains what a MAF is (Thanks y2kse).

This is the drawing/sketch that akrus made to compare the new and old MAF.

 

so where is that located in the engine? and my after market CAI will have what effect on it?

 

Your after-market CAI may affect you by emptying your wallet and frustration by taking your car to the dealer if/when your MAF fails. It seems like quite a few people with CAI and other intakes are having their MAF fail. It goes between your air filter and engine and measures the air flow and other things to your engine. If they fail, you are looking at $600 if the dealer will not cover the part and labor. Make sure to switch your stock airbox back if it happens before taking it in and you may get lucky.

 

thanks for the help... how can i check my MAF to see if its the one that has been failing?
so your saying if it goes bad...what happens to the car?
thanks

 

Search to find that out. As for the MAF, if they can't prove you have aftermarket intake, which they can't if you bring it in stock without the aftermarket in the trunk, under the 3 year 36k warranty you're fine.
