isnt the plastic pipe on the FIPK supposed to handle heat better than a metal pipe. makes sense in theory.

i have an aem dryflow filter on my FIPK. after a drive even on a hot day, the rubber on the filter is cool to the touch. in other words, the intake does NOT suck in hot air while moving.

someone mentioned that the FIPK airbox can let in plenty of hot air, but the idea behind the box was to have the hood seal off the top (hence the rubber tubing) and the location of the airbox will have positive pressure from air coming in from outside of the engine bay.

how well this works i dont know, but like i mentioned earlier, the rubber surround on my filter was cool to the touch after a long drive on a hot day.

 

^^ thanks for that.

though whats the deal with PRM intakes? are they still around? not much info on them from 2004 onwards? did they go bust?

 

My PRM is still kickin' ass

PRM doesnt make intakes only for S's so its not their main thing and they dont advertise it that much. i just ordered mine straight from prm. the dood on the phone was all about chattin it up and askin about the s and all that. took about a week since it comes from canada.

 

on stop and go traffic and on hot days, especially days at the strip during the day, my engine was bogging down at much higher rpm. but when i raced from a roll, it would do fine.

i wonder, i had the k&n fikp and i have the spoon type carbon fiber snorkel. the snorkel allows cool air in front of the radiator to go directly into the intake, what if you had the k&n with the snorkel? has anyone tried this, i saw some thing similar to acr intake with spoon snorkel.

 

^^ yes i was thinking something along those lines to have the cold air guided to the air box.

even the AUT CF cooling plate would help as well, thats what im planning on buying along with intake

 

duanet85- what is your personal review on the PRM? do you feel anything on the butt dyno?

 

anybody notice what you have to do to your hood to install this product?!??!?!

yeah on that one, which copies the mugen intake, you have to cut ur hood to fit it, also it seems to be less effective than the spoon or j/s snorkel, unless you cut into the bumper or buy the muguen bumper.

 

ans2k Is it very difficult to cut my hood undrside to use this one carbone snorkel which is on the picture?
