Hey guys,
I've finally heard back from our prototype Quad 4 intake tester. Here's what he had to say.
"Franz,
Can not believe that such a small mod can make that many improvements.
Noticably different. It pulls more through all rpms. Cruising on the highway around 110, it seems to need about half the throttle to go that it used to use.
My biggest pet pieve was when I took my foot of the gas after accelerating and having the car buck forward between gears or just when you let your foot off the gas, that is now smooth - but you can hear it sucking air (which is what it is there for!!.
Can't forget about when it is time to
shut the car off, that sure makes for some looks, I just tell anyone that asks that it is supercharged. LOL.
I would recommend this product (except for the blue silicon hose (ha,ha)."
So it sounds good thus far, but because it's such a tight fit, I want to make sure there's no issues with engine rocking and bending the intake, or damaging anything else that it's close to.
And this was tested on a standard. I have no idea yet if it'll fit the automatics. The reason I mention this is because it pushes right against the transmission after coming off the TB. The auto may be different, and require a different set up.
And the blue silicon hose that Chris mentioned is because we didn't have any red in stock to match his car. This will be supplied in your choice of red, blue or yellow when we make these kits available.
And the noise he mentions is a very cool sounding "Pssh" type sound when he shuts off the car now.
I'll try and post some pictures shortly.
