I don't use "cheap" simota products etc... I custom fabricate my stuff.
I'm not spending $150.00 - $300.00 + bucks on intake products when I can achieve
the same result myself if not better for besides nothing. (each to there own I guess)?
lol wanna fabricate me one for next to nothing too?
it depends wat engine it is. for B, F, D they all have the same intake layout.
but for K, its completly different, the CAI > SRI in all rpm's
That's because the K heats up the engine bay pretty well. Any gains are negated by the hot air. I made a cold air feed and the enclosed SRI > CAI at all RPM.
can someone tell me whats the difference with say a $400 aem or injen CAI, and a cheaper $150 simota intake?
also is it right assume that if i heat wrap the alloy piping it will keep the heat out, or will the piping just heat up and keep the heat in??
Injen's probably has the diameter and length optimised for the Euro (their current CAI is already the 2nd version). Simota on the other hand just makes the pipe fit the car, but the length and diameter are not optimised.
With CAIs, the heating of the intake air is not too much of an issue as the air sucked in is cold. SRIs on the other hand suck in hot air from the engine bay. In both cases, heat wrap is useless.
in a CAI is the pod filter illegal.. and can you see it?
You can't see the pod in a CAI. Whether it is legal or not, it's up to the cops. Some of them don't mind if they can't see it, while others can make it difficult for you if they want to.
