Our
new intake consists of an all new CNC machined cast aluminum inlet pipe
assembly (with provisions for the IAT sensor, PCV hose connection and a
special nitrous boss), a molded filter shroud assembly that attaches to
the lower half of the factory air box assembly and a custom washable
air filter that was developed specifically for this system. The air
filter in this package maximizes the total amount of available area
inside of the shroud assembly, and features over 180 square inches of
filtration surface area! The original paper filter, which is more
restrictive per square inch than our cotton mesh filter, has a total of
only 89 square inches of filtration. Although the filter is visible
when the hood is open, our rubber trim seal at the top of the filter
shroud isolates the filter from the engine compartment heat once the
hood is closed. This ensures that all airflow that enters the filter
comes from below the body of the vehicle, just like the factory
arrangement.
Dyno Results
While developing this system, we noticed that manufacturers of
existing HEMI intake upgrades were making "sensational" power claims.
One particular manufacturer, who states in their advertising and
literature that their intake adds "21 rear wheel horsepower", sells an
intake that flows less than 720 CFM. Another manufacturer, who claims
to have been producing (up to this time) the "highest flowing" air
intake for these vehicles, advertises a system with a maximum flow
capacity of 847 CFM.
Our new assembly, which is airflow restricted only by the
size of the factory throttle body, features a full 4" diameter inlet
pipe assembly and flows 935 CFM, even when attached to a stock HEMI
throttle body opening. The maximum flow capacity for our system is
restricted by the fact that the factory throttle body has an outside
diameter of only 3.5". When this restriction is eliminated (simulating
a 4" throttle body opening), our new system flows an amazing 1,015 CFM! Click here to see the Air Flow Comparison
