GruppeM Intake
This beauty arrived yesterday!!!! Unfortunately my car's at the body shop so i can't install it just yet, so here's some teaser photos before it goes in. i may also do a before/after dyno run to confirm if any gains are realized...and of course before/after videos for sound.

Spending 2k for an intake and 6k for the akra exhaust, the ratios seem right, albeit it's times a factor of ten compared to when i built Japanese cars in college lol. It's the only intake i saw that's full cf and includes cf isolation chamber. I think i saw a thread talking about the heat soak from exposed filters like eventuri and bms etc. Since i haven't seen anyone post about the GruppeM, I'll gladly take one for the team to report my findings haha

AFE just released a closed filter system, it's plastic w/cf trim (big deal) and it's almost $700. It looks pretty nice though. Anyone try that yet?

Initial impressions: it sounds cool. The butt dyno doesn't feel any significant difference. however, i haven't driven the car for two weeks so i don't remember what stock feels like. Dyno run with video to come next week-ish |

CEL should not be a problem with closed air intakes

Yup. Not expecting much, if any, gains for just the intake alone. But no one has posted any numbers for this intake at all. So just want to make the concrete numbers available since I'm documenting each mod i do.

That intake looks amazing i was looking at the eventuri one but was afraid of heat soaking with such open design this one looks to have solved the issue, cant wait for your video OP to hear the sound. Performance wise no intake really gives anything, you buy it for the sound and the looks any performance gains i don't think can be felt.

i will make another video when it's on the dyno and if i get some time to do some spirited canyon carving. |

UltraMagneticAL Thanks for the video, sounds so good! I'm hoping my Injen sounds the same and doesn't throw a CEL. Fingers crossed. I love the sound of my FI exhaust and hoping the intake doesn't overpower. What're your thoughts there since you also have an exhaust? Cheers
