Evo cold air intake

[CO996C4]

Anyone had any experience with this newest version of EVO's cold air intake system for the 3.6/3.8? I think they had an older version that did not contain itself very well. This supposedly is all contained with lid shut. Has a "venturi" effect???

Thankx Jim

i just posted this on another thread. i have a 3.4L but i think it's exactly the same for a 3.6L 996. should be very similar or the same for the 3.6L/3.8L 997s

"i have the fabspeed kit and feel that it is not really worth it. 225 for a fake carbon ring and a silicon hose. the sound was ever so slightly increased but i do agree the throttle was sharpened.

i still have it as a back up (for when i have to get it smogged) but i replaced it with the new evo v-flow. if you want extra sound this is IT. at wide open throttle, over 4K it has an absolute wail. very intoxicating. you do get extra horses too and sharp throttle but you get even more HP if you get you ecu flashed with the giac program (claimed 25~30HP). it is 300~400 more than the fabspeed kit but you actually get a new airbox, cone filter and smooth walled aluminum intake pipe.

i am very satisfied with it so much so it sounds like i work or am sponsored by evo ;) but no affiliation just very happy. :thumbup:"

Thanks for your input. I knew the first generation intake they had had problems and threw CEL's. I wonder if they made tube from thick pvc if it wouldn't insulate better. $500 plus is a lot of coin. The DME change probably extremely helpful. I am going to try some home made things first and see how they work. (Remove screens, cut out stock intake muffler)

Thanks again
