so i came across this CAI and heard its the **** but has anyone used it for there 7 yet?
they actually have them for our cars surprisingly not just the filter and adaptor like with apexi or blitz....here are a few pics fro there website--->

 

you would still need to make a custom air box to keep the hot air out or relocate the air filter outside of the engine bay. K&N drop in is fine for me. mods to the stock air box? maybe...

 

yeah thats true i also have the K&N drop in but one could always use the extra HP. can i get an amen?

 

i had this crazy idea of smoothing out the stock air box and cuting out the silencer in the front snorkle. But that would lead to a waaa sound I think when you accelerate really hard. Smoothing out the stock air box by grinding down the plastic tabs inside the top and bottom maybe even smoothing the airflow to the stock filter. IDK yet im going to buy a grinder and grind it down and see what happens. I have to stock air boxes. its good to have spare parts. Plus i'd also need a way to measure the current airflow with the tabs and the one without.

 

If I'm not mistaken the Weapon R intake for FC's doesn't come with the piping like the second picture posted. It only comes with what you need for in front of the MAF sensor. I emailed them when they first introduced the secret weapon concentric-pipe intake design and they said at the time it wasn't cost-effective to sell the piping for our cars and they had no plans for developing anything in the future. The S4 kit comes with a plastic MAF adapter and either a SW filter or a Dragon Filter, and the S5 kit comes with what you posted in the first picture.

 

so dose anyone who make intakes make the whole kit including the pipe? well there that and we can always fabricate one ourselves but that take time knowledge on what your doing i think the guys at sideways performance do it.....but i have not been to their shop in a while.. but dude let me know how your idea goes when your done for sure

 

my brotha has this on his other car says it works great idk bout 7's tho.....

 

me and starscream FD actually seen this AND used this before... *waits for ilikeeatpoo to post pics*

 

im expecting little gains.. smoother air flow... maybe...

 

hey bro if its a DIY mod and you gain a few HP then mega props to you just share in the knowledge on how to make it happen for sure

tight cant wait to see it

 

You need to make custom piping.



LOL

this is a joke picture. the MAF was not integrated yet when this picture was taken.

 

3x THE AIR POWER !!!

 

hahahahahaha who needs an oil catch can when you have this set up

 

if you decide to get this call phil at racing lab. tell him robyn told you to call. also there factory is in south san fran. you can take you car in and they will custom make you anything you want. but you gotta pay. they have a secret weapon filter that pulls air from outside. hope this helps.

any monkey with a hack saw and access to home depot can make a intake that gets air from outside for under 50bux.. lol

 

really!!!!!!!!

 

ya know, i always wondered what was the right bolt on mod for a CAI, i know you gotta have some sort of box after the filter or smth right? cuz 7's arent anything like the b18s im use to

 

no. you just need to make sure the MAF is hooked up

 

poo is right..you can make your own C.A.I. that will be better then 90% of any C.A.I. sold now. especially if you can bench test it and such.

:AA:

 

I noticed 50hp gain on my 'teggy (Type-Race). Only 2hp on teh rex.

 

Yeah FCs really don't benefit much from air intakes unless you're running pretty wild mods.

 

whats that smell????

Smell's like rice...

 

Must I repeat? 3X THE AIR POWER

 

mother f-ing WIN! hahahahah
