I did notice that cut out below the headlight assembly that feeds down into the bumper section. That look promising. Like you said with the temps and flow. It is none issue under that threshold. That being the case, it opens up a lot more options for me. So, thank you for that info.
I am going to look at that AirAid. I am coming to the conclusion It will be a custom setup for me to satisfy my cray ideas.
Its not just about air temperature, but flow. Stock intake has several choke points. I love my Injen PF9071WB CAI. Big pipe, smooth bends. The motor inhales more easily and I can easily hear the turbine and pop off valve .
In reality it's all about "Volumetric Efficiency" more than anything else and there is a lot of work that goes into that along with NVH ("Noise Vibration Harshness" for those that don't know) that goes along side it. That combination is the exact reason why you can get a little more performance out of the intake alone with some changes
Yep. I have a factory oiled Afe R5. when that gets out of spec I am going to dryflow. Not that oiled filters don't work. It just needs to be done correct. A quality dry filter will get it done.
Absolutely! I love open filter intakes, especially since it always seems to bring out the engineering department. People love to believe in cold air instead of flow.
That is the Air filter for a M1 Abrams tank. LOL. The AFE I got has to option to seal the box. I am going to test it out for my own reason but, there is something to love about hearing the Turbo spool under boost with it open. Mine has a GFB Dv+ recirc valve and you can still hear it Blow off in the Cab.Absolutely! I love open filter intakes, especially since it always seems to bring out the engineering department. People love to believe in cold air instead of flow.
Mine makes quite a bit of noise for sure. It’s a 4” upper intake with a 3.5” turbo inlet and 57mm turbo. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner when casually accelerating ?
There a bunch of aftermarket Dry's these days. The AEM ones have the best data for filtration that I could find. However, many claim 98%+ particle filtration these days.
I did a lot of research before I made a decision bc I knew the factory box is really not as restrictive as some may think. Loweredon33s had a bunch of different types and came to the conclusion that flow over engine heat is the way to go. So his intake is 1/2 the engine bay and open. His point was solid. At WOT the air is compressed and heated no matter what. Plus it will suck cold air at speed no matter what. He is also over 400WHP. that demands more of everything.
