I know this cost more than yours but this thing really works. the flow test shows it flows over 400cfm more than stock. good luck which ever way you go. jim

then go to c32 then go to intake.

remember guys.
grinding the throttleaxle will give you about the same area as an 78mm throttlebody.
And, with the advantage of that you dont run up and down in area, in other words: keeping the speed of the air.

There's a foam dual type Ramair filter in the Y, its a cut to fit filter, there is a ramair website that sells them, suppose to flow and clean better than the K & N's, that what they say anyways.

JamesC32

RamAir are famous for their consistent "Best in Class" flow rates and dirt retention (not to mention their continued dominance in Motorsport) This means with the RamAir filter you are sucking in as much air as possible with the knowledge that no other filter can supply such pure, uncontaminated air as your RamAir filter.

Every RamAir filter is made by hand in the Uk, they are a true testament of quality, precision and are a bench mark for the competition to try and match. You can purchase from us with total confidence, you are buying the best straight from the factory. We are not a reseller of this item we are Ramair.
Product Details -

· RAMAIR filter systems have been technically designed and developed to increase the air flow which maximises the engine's performance.
· The engineered design of the induction system will give more power and torque.
· Ramair induction system gives you an improved engine bay look and a superb induction roar.
· Fitting instructions included to ease DIY fitment

Its nothing like a soccer sock!!!

JamesC32

You have a hard time seeing the existing filters still working and you think theres a socker sock envolved, you cant see any good ideas here??

Accidental L8 apex

You don't honestly think posting the company's own jargon is going to change how air flows. And maybe they're right and their filter flows better than any filter ever made, but that won't make your design flow any better than stock.

JamesC32

I was just trying to show that its not a soccer sock type filter, and you don't have to be an expert to see that it will get more air than stock!!!

JamesC32

If you read some of the posts you would see what some of the other DuM&SS are thinking and know what I'm trying to show yall!!!

This is his filter for his bypass :



Whether it adds power or not, we won't know. No before/after dyno and no before/after quarter mile times???

IMO, the tubes he's using must create a lot of turbulence and it adds little/no/negative power.

JamesC32

How can you see turbulence? It goes in right at the center of the throttle body, it doesn't interrupt the other air flow what so ever till the throttle body, if anything it directs the air coming in through the stock intake! like the stock intake baffle does..

firstshadow

This vacuum hose won't flow smoothly at all.

This is all speculation on your part. The air coming in from the OEM intakes may be disturbed by the air coming in through the Electrolux tubes or even attempting to escape through these tubes (speculation on my part).
Stop racing using your keyboard and post some 1/4 mile runs. Don't waste your money on any dyno since your setup needs some level of air velocity to have a chance. The usual dyno fans will not do the job. My advice (FrankW said the same thing) if you want to keep things OEM, get a 55 larger T and leave it at that. I do however give you an A+ for trying something new.

Ausmbtech

I'm not going to go into the air flow benefits but why would you bypass your air filters?

JamesC32

Code 3 was DYNO proven to increase hp, it was completely open and did not cause turbulence, only flaw I seen was if it could just get cooler air, so how could this be any different from a code3? this is the same but just has a place to pull a little cooler air from..

JamesC32

Can you not tell that they are not bypassed?? They are still there working, These are just EXTRA air tubes going in to the throttle body! How can this be that difficult to understand?

JamesC32

How can extra air at the point of entrance give less air? Impossible!!

Jim,

Your idea is good, but important to know that, the ECU counts the air velocity/density,

if you open another air bath from the "Y" type(which is soo sensitive area) will not helps the air to comes in the

intake in proper velocity, the air that comes from above area (which you done) will clash to each other every time when

you increasing the speed,,

more air NOT always helps, it depends to the mass of air or the speed density of the ECU data/file.....

ZAYED,,

swedepat

quoting myself to show that yes! adding random hoses CAN actually restrict the std tubes, with adding turbulence.
But does your buttdyno say the car runs harder, then it is

Your new added hoses does have filters mounted in the front of the car(not visible on photos)?

Viper98912

I chuckled at this.

Ausmbtech

So explain to me how the air going through these tubes gets filtered........

The answer to this have already been written many times, have you read this topic
