So unknowing people will buy their Fathers something that he doesnt need or want, and therefore the company selling stuff will make more money.BTW, they are having a 15% off Father's Day Sale!

What? This doesn't really make any sense. It's a sale. If someone here wants to buy it on sale that's a win. Somehow I doubt someone will be buying these for their father who doesn't need or want this. That would really be random. And how many people buy stuff for their father on father's day that they don't want or need every year? I don't see the purpose of this comment.So unknowing people will buy their Fathers something that he doesnt need or want, and therefore the company selling stuff will make more money.
When does it start? Dang...I ordered mine two days agoBTW, they are having a 15% off Father's Day Sale!
Unless it increases the airflow so much a retune isn't necessary. When I changed all the pipes on my Fusion, Torrie from Unleashed said it wasn't necessary.
The theory is correct but in application I don’t see the volume increase from what looks to be 1.25” pipe to 2.5” pipe causing a “noticeable” delay in pressurization of that particular segment of pipe. From my perspective I see the positives of less static restriction within that larger pipe to be more beneficial than any intangible delay in pressurizing that pipe.
For consideration, if the stock pipe can flow 387 cfm at (.25psi rounded) and the aftermarket can flow 478 cfm at the same pressure.
The pressure at the compressor outlet will be greater than that at the throttle body to overcome the systems, expansion of air, drag from bends and intercooler.. etc. So if the pressure and in relation volume of air at the compressor outlet has a larger pipe to flow into it would have a lower air speed leaving the compressor and through the system. Which should mean less loss of efficiency for that compressor. Higher air speed would mean more resistance at a given pressure. So if it’s tuned and pushing even higher volumes of air at higher pressures one can only assume lowering the air speed would be beneficial.
I’m just thinking out loud and welcome your thoughts on this.
Still better than full price. It did say on certain items. Funny thing was I tried to see if it was cheaper through 5 Star and they said we don't ship to CA. I replied, that's hilarious cause they're 20 mins from me and I can order direct from them.I just checked with AFE and they don't ETA on parts. And the sale is NOT 15% sitewide as they claim. The charge pipes are 10% off.
I have an anticipated shipping date of 6/28/19 in an email from them.I just checked with AFE and they don't ETA on parts. And the sale is NOT 15% sitewide as they claim. The charge pipes are 10% off.
What do you mean " what I suspected"?My email for the pipes also said 6/28.
They confirmed what I suspected on the intake. Not really worth it since I only want the tube that goes from the air box top the turbo.
"Hello,
The intake has a port right in the front front of the housing. It uses the factory scoop to get its air from."
That's what I guessed, suspected. The intake takes its air from the factory scoop. A drop in will do just as good as this "cold air". We won't max out a drop in filter airflow wise. The filter is huge. That's a lot of money for a redesigned stock box. Upgrading just for the elbow isn't worth the cost. It's only half of the piping to the turbo.What do you mean " what I suspected"?
So you're not buying their gain numbers for this part? If so, then why believe their number for the charge pipes?That's what I guessed, suspected. The intake takes its air from the factory scoop.

I believe the gain is more a high flow filter than the actual box design. I'm not saying I don't believe their numbers. I've already got the K&N. If there's any gain over a drop in it'd be really marginal. It's being fed by that same stock scoop. Not $350+ worth for me. The pipes, more so the turbo to intercooler one, looks much better and consistent than the stock.So you're not buying their gain numbers for this part?
