Heres my little write up on the HKS Supermega Flow intake.
If you have gave this part bad reviews, its because you have not driven a car with it. I installed mine today and i noticed a HUGE difference in performance, i did loose a little lowend toqure but every bit i lost i gained at about 4,000rpm and it only doubles from there up. I was very suprized my automatic S5 would ever be fast but after i got all this installed i took it for a drive and some mustang tryed rubbing my bumper untill i kicked it. He held me untill i hit 60mph then i completely left him and i could tell he wasnt letting off cause at 110mph he was still there but not very close. lol, So ive had a good day and ied say the best band for your buck is the hks intake system.

Hey Mephis, where in Johnson County do you live? I live in Marion County, but right above the County Line Road/the border line (or as I've come to call it, the Mason-Dixie Line) and like two minutes west of I-65. I'd like to see your RX sometime, PM me back.

It's hard to judge the power of a car just by what your butt is telling you. It should pick up some power but will it really be that noticable or does it just feel cause you can hear it more.

i've heard/read from many people that these are worthless, they let too much dirt and grime in through the filter, ultimately killing your engine. i was told from a experienced builder of rotary engines that the motors he pulls apart that have this intake on them, have the most torn up internals with much more dirt and crap inside them compared to others.
no personal experience, but i dont think i would try it out. |

Wow you spent $150+ for a filter on a stick...
You can build the same thing yourself for $50, and that includes $40 for a GOOD K&N filter. If your kit uses one of those foam mushrums, you should take it off before the foam starts to fall apart and get sucked into the engine... plus they filter like shit, even when brand new... might as well just run a peice of mesh over the end- It will filter just as well as the foam POS and at least the mesh isn't going to come apart and be sucked into the engine. |
im not too worried i dont drive in dirty areas.

Maybe they're college students with an intership!

What kind of Mustang loses to an Automatic RX-7 with an air filter?
An Auto 4-Banger, that's who! |
