Look, I made a huge HAI

Thanks I get that.. just not sure why all the other vehicles I have with this on them are called CAI and this one is called HAI as it is doing the same thing.

It’s a joke, everyone always chimes in giving me advice about how bad my intake air temperature is going to be. Because of that I’m calling this one a HAI. Truth in advertising let’s call it.

I might be interested in a whale dick intake... Can you produce one thats cheaper than the $330 AFE intake?

Like he said, it's a joke. Unless you move the air filter out of the engine bay, it's always going to be sucking in hot air from under the hood. Intakes that use the stock lower box try to combat this a bit by using the stock "scoop" that pulls from the front edge of the hood.

I'm interested in buying one. I already have your inlet pipe.

Any thoughts on adding the Oem style air scoop back into your setup , Hai looks good

I just tried, I’m going to adjust the heat shield and make the scoop fit soon.

I’m not sure how much you have studied air flow in any kind of piping systems but tighter bends will actually be detrimental to your objective. See this video for a more detailed explanation. Wider curves or using 45 degree bends is probably going to give you better volumes without the turbulence

Don't distract us with your "science"

I mean, a 110-120 degree bent funnel worked fine for Mishimoto, we aren’t working with a lot of space here so I chose a short, fat pathway rather than a long, sweeping one. It might hurt power, it might be incredible…. I have about 200 miles on it so far with no negative effects to speak of. I’ve had 3 different aftermarket intakes on my truck and they all have unique characteristics but all have been positive.

Throwing this out there objectively, isn't the stock intake 90 degree bends? So if it worked for them (Ford) wouldn't an increased volume of air in somewhat that same configuration be an improvement?

It’s also being sucked in rather than blown in under pressure, I’m moving on from this video and taking it with a grain of salt.

on the dyno have you tried no filter/ filter on the turbo vs your intake ?

I can, I haven’t though. Most people would flip out if I suggested such a thing. ?

 

[My12SecRanger]

lmao I like the science of it and imo it would show how well your intake setup flows
