DISCUSSION - Air Intake / Open Pod / Air Filter

hmmmm i also not very sure what we call it, but it looks like a big mushroom.
what do u think about this stuff, open pod/air intake?
if want to install, do we need to change exhaust too?
if install got any effect on other part?
does it give pickup / increase performance?

plz any1.....

no answer.
maybe will be my research stuff...

u can try Simota Carbon Charger Twin Flow Performance Air Filter

try surf at www.simota.com

hmm... had anyone try already?

this stuff can increase horsepower & acceleration, improve throttle response. Price maybe aroud 400-500...

nice info bro, price?
autorised dealer?

rm450 - 500 around that....
made in taiwan ok... they make between K&N & AEM.

holaa..
air intake will not distrubing your engine setting & exhaust system..itz just make sure your engine burn oil perfectly..

Some Info for u all:

Taking the step of removing your factory air intake system has an excellent bang for the buck ratio and as a result is often the first modification enthusiasts do to their new projects. Your new cold air intake will allow colder air in larger amounts into your engine. For reference think of drinking soda with a stir straw vs. a regular straw, larger diameter equals more flow. Depending on your budget there are 2 routes you can take: Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake.

A Short Ram Intake which is often referred to as a warm air intake, positions the filter still inside the engine bay, but at a point as far away as room allows.. Although this Intake setup still takes in hot air, a short ram intake has less restrictions and uses a higher flowing filter allowing air to flow much more freely into your engine. The result? Depending on what you buy, about a 4-8 peak hp gain depending on car and other modifications. It may not sound like much but take into account that you will be gaining power from 2000 rpm until redline, meaning your car will be quicker everywhere in the powerband.

A cold air intake (aka CAI) typically has a longer pipe and its filter is positioned low in the engine bay, close to the ground where it can suck in the rushing air that has not been heated by underhood operating temps. A Cold air intake provides significantly larger gains than a short ram, on some applications gains of up to 15 peak horsepower have been recorded although this won't be the case for every car out there.


The vast majority are plug and play so don't worry about having to modify your engine bay any more then swapping intakes. There are a couple of things you should keep in mind when shopping for a cold air intake or a short ram intake. If where you live gets a lot of rain and you plan on getting a cold air intake, consider also getting a bypass valve. The purpose of a bypass valve is simple, SAVE YOUR ENGINE! Referring back to Mrs. Johnson's physics class it's quite simple. Water is heavier then air, when you start to bring water into your intake system through your filter, air will take the path of least resistance and come in through your secondary system aka your Bypass Valve.

Each manufacturer claims to have the ultimate solution, but our dyno tests have consistently shown that Injen Air Intakes produce a bit more horsepower than AEM intakes, even though AEM is the most recognized name in performance intakes. Currently, AEM is the only company that offers a bypass valve. Injen offers a heat/splash shield, simply and effectively protecting the filter from water splashes. An important factor to consider when selecting a cold air intake is to make sure it meets your states smog control requirements.

Typical cold air intake installation: filter is low to the ground to breathe air outside of the engine compartment


Typical short ram intake installed

wah! nice info.

so d conslusion is air intake is better than normal 1.

it can get more power , if with exhaust can get better power ( but i dun like that sound ) , all the cost is around RM 320 - RM 340..... im not selling it , my friend selling ... ehhehhe

se3311 : quite xpensive for ur intake & some more cap ayam..here i have very cheap Apexi c/w Acc. include rampipe just RM390..

where??
