Well....close enough I suppose. I have the Rubatex heat insulation under the CF covering. Everything is working fine and the car runs like it's being fueled by a gallon of sour mash mixed with 800mg of Viagra. It's a nice alternative to the other CAI's, this PRM.

 

Where is the filter ???

 

I like it. Price?

 

is it just a cold air extension?...looks good though

 

The filter is housed inside the canister which protects it from heat soak. I have written extensively on this set-up and below are the links. The extension of piping which snakes down into the wheel well was devised by me with a quick visit to Home Depot. The combination of heat resistent plastic piping and Rubatex insulation covering has created an intake that is about as anti heat-soak as anything I can think of. The inside of the casing which houses the filter...after two hours of HARD running, is SIGNIFICANTLY cooler than the rest of the ambient engine temps...this design really works remarkably well. According to PRM, I'm the only guy in the US with this intake (especially now, with my modifications) but having owned AEM on my last car, I can definitely say this (for me) was a better choice. There is no cutting involved in the install of this intake and it could be taken off in 10 minutes. My horsepower improvement following the install was in the neighborhood of 11-12hp (at speed) and I believe it was because of the DIRECT feed of cooler air coming up from the wheel well. If you notice, the air is coming in from the same area the Comptech filter is housed....only there is a more direct link between the air path and the filter location due to the piping extending DOWN into the wheel well area. Following the intake's final modifications into the wheel well, my 1/4-mile times have been reduced by an average of .27 seconds in exhaustive accelerometer runs (judiciously applied) when compared to the OEM intake.

Russ,

I think this is the intake I need for my s2k because of its funtionality, looks, and no need for cutting. I would like to ask you for a detailed description of:

- how to piece together the plastic piping (its parts, size, and how you attached it to the horn inlet of the PRM)

- how you wrapped the Rubatex insulator under the carbon fiber (how did you remove the carbon fiber, how to wrap the Rubatex properly, and how to return the carbon fiber over the Rubatex wrapping)

Would you also please give me the website or phone# of PRM so I could see it or call them. Please reply here or e-mail me at maakky1@aol.com. Thanks.

Mark

Russ, great install... I'm considering this intake verus the Comptech. Questions?

1 - What PVC pieces are needed from Home Depot?

2 - Where did you buy Rubatex and the carbon fiber film from?

3 - Do you think front struct tower braces, like the Comptech one will clear this intake piping?

Thanks in advance.
