[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 1374549, member: 9703"] Even though I can't use it on my car, when I first saw it I thought it might cause problems for most cars depending on mods. I think it looks promising for cars with forced induction, but I think that it would decrease intake charge velocity due to the way that the intake is designed. The 99 and up cobra intake pretty much just rolls over top of the runners from the throttle body side over to the opposite side. All I see this thing doing is taking away the smooth contours of the intake and making turbulence. I could be wrong, after all I haven't studied the 99 and up intake that much yet. I look at it like this. Say you have a 1 inch water line going straight up a 1000 FT hill, and a 2 inch line going parallel up that same hill. Both are being fed from two identical pumps that flow the same rate of water. At the top of the hill which one is going to have the most pressure, or velocity I should say. the 1 inch line of course Now double the charged output of the one feeding the 2 inch pipe, and not only will you have more volume, but quite possible more pressure. I look at the way our intakes flow the same way. They will do only what they will do until they are either ported polished, or force fed. Until then their efficiency is about as good as you can hope for. The days of slapping a spacer on you 351's intake and gaining serious hp are over with the engineering that we are seeing in cars today. JMO. [/QUOTE]
