yet another job done...

SL55 intake Y-splitters are taking over miami.......... yes im installing it for a lot of ppl but i think i might do one more and quit cuz its not worth the trouble for the little gains... it mostly just makes the engine a bit sound better.....

I finished LoEplayas black C32 2night....


isnt it inspiring to see 2 C32s parked together.. one with an Evosport ECU and pulley kit and the other with a RENNTech ECU and Pulley kit!!! :v

SL55 splitter makes the most gain after pulley (ODPS) upgrade. On at stock car you might see 3-4HP on a Stage I car it is worth 5-7HP. Not a lot, but for the money and the thrill of doing something on your car by your self, it is definitely worth it.

well LoePlaya has the ODPS upgrade from your company.. so lets hear some feedback from him as far as if he feels any gain... i did notice his car looked very slightly quicker after we did the SL55 splitter upgrade. But it could just be my imagination. I dont know if one would really feel 5-7hp though. But yea, we had loads and loads of fun installing that SL55 splitter ... all I can say is that those damn clip you are working around in the back by the firewall makes life just a tad more difficult!!! I can work around it though... this is like the 3rd one ive installed. I have one more scheduled... my cousins!!! Also, I am looking into some tapered Samco hoses to replace the stock AMG hoses....i think that would look better.

You have to press a release button located on the piston itself

It's an East Coast thing... gives us greater front end downforce to offset the supercharger weight... LOL

sorry, couldn't resist...

C43?

Do you guys happen to know if this mod would be applicable to the C43? I'd be curious to know.

different motor, different intake setup, wont work... for your C43 try thermowrapping the underside of your airbox and your intake ducts and dropping in some high flow filters (ie K&N or Greenfilter)!!!
