Sub'd for RR intake

 

RR, how much would you be selling this titanium intake for?

 

Will let you guys know very soon. We haven't finalized pricing just yet. This week and next week we will be working on getting a nice multi color effect on the titanium.

That said, I promise the price will be significantly lower than the LEMS intake from Japan. I also think ours will be better since it is mandrel bent, not pie cut. It is EXTREMELY difficult to make a tight mandrel bend in thin wall titanium pipe, that is why you see the pie cuts on titanium intake and exhaust... but of course having a smooth mandrel bend flows better.

Sounds great Rafi.

Look forward to hearing more on these.

Cheers.

The Joe Z looks good, I made it look better.

 

Nice!

Slightly off topic, do you not have any discolouration or milkyness on your carbon engine cover? I was thinking about getting mine done, but worried the heat might be an issue?!

Looks great either way!

Cheers.

There is yellowing and a crack. It needs to be sanded down and probably triple cleared. To me it looks like carbon kevlar kind of color, just not as cool of a weave.

I'm not sure if it's something I'll have to regularly redo.

Thanks!!!

 

HPS is great and works with your Stock Airbox

 

I have the HPS with a TOM'S filter.... As far as sound goes. You may get the slightest audible difference in tone... The biggest difference is @ WOT you get a louder airflow sound in the cabin. Performance? Not much to speak of.
Me personally? I'd wait and see what the RR Racing Titanium intake looks like.

 

For those concerned with heat soak, I think that one of the best things to reduce heat soak is to remove that engine cover... it has a ton of sound insulation foam that is supposed to reduce noise from the injectors, but really acts as heat insulator. All the heat that radiates from the engine block just gets trapped under the engine cover and heats the intake manifold.

Could you just remove the insulation ?

 

Sure, but the plastic cover itself is an insulator. I bet you the ISF CCSR or the RCF GT3 are not using plastic engine covers!

Great Photo...

They say "knowledge is power"

The 6061 Aluminum Material we use on our intake design is perfect..

The air passing inside our pipe is in there less than the time it takes for your eye to blink..

So heat soaking the inside air passing, will never be an issue, unless your driving through an OVEN

I figured it wouldn't do too terribly much, other than the "bling" effect I was going for.

The intake used to be hot enough to scald me, and now it's just uncomfortably hot most of the time. After long drives it gets just as hot, but looks good

Great product though - I'm still loving it!

 

I have an unobtanium titanium intake, I have been meaning to burn it but haven't got around to it.
