FINAL true cold ram air intake installed (3rd gen intake)!!!
Hey guys,
well now that the final exhaust was done it was time to tackle the intake and finish that up. It was still a hot air intake which was robbing precious HP so i decided to finally do that. Luckily Lowes hardward store has a 4"-3" rubber coupling reducer which was exactly what i needed. So i attached the counpling between the ram air pipe from the front grill to the CF head sheilded intake filter. In doing so now I have true cold air coming to the filter and it also has a ram air effect because the air is coming directly from the outside via front grille. As you can see it looks great and fuctions great too. I am very happy with the intake. I have yet to take it out for a spin at night (with the cold air outside) but I will let yall know soon how it turns out. enjoy the pics.

Also,
I will have sound clips of the exhaust and intake once i get a chance too but they should sound amazing together, car sound much better at idle but definately sounds like a V8.. im very happy with the results.

Hey guys... FINALLY got to test drive the car.... WOW much better. You do sacrifice some sound but not much, however you can definately feel better performance especially in the higher gears where ram air starts to take effect (60mph+). idle quality is definately better than before and car behaves much pepppier than before. I am very happy with the results and this is pretty much the best intake design so im very happy i could make it work finally. For you other 300SE guys out there definately give this intake a try, u will love it.
P.S. Dyno's will be coming soon
