Has anyone purchased this intake yet and if so how is the fitment and perform.

gcxandy

which carbon fiber intake??

the ebay one or the uminitza / jlevi one?

mattvs

The Umnitza one is made from Carbon Fiber. I like it. You'll not notice anything different between it and any other intake except maybe sound.

This one?

pinkyfmTC

Sorry for not being specific earlier
I meant the eBay one

brian

go with the umnitza

pinkyfmTC

Wow 250 bucks to put replace the stock air box and only 150-170 to get a full Carbon Fiber CAI

gcxandy

i'd pay the extra 100 for the sound the umnitza makes, it's unlike any other cai/ sr that i've dealt with. im sure all the other guys with uminitza can vouch for the sound!

mattvs

and that's all an intake is good for ;)

Didnt the uminitza also rob power when dyno'd... sucky investment.

gcxandy

it lost low end torque but gained high end whp.

The loss in low end is noticeable but the sound will leave you smiling forever. Remove the resonator and the sound is like doubled. I would imagine that this intake would go great on a turbo tC.

It looks nice but its not a CAI... Its sucking hot air from the engine, if you want to be unique then get it but for performance its worse than the stock air box we have... Just hack the OEM box and you'll get better results...

i you really want to good carbon fiber intake get the Top Fuel short ram. It look was better!

I hope you don't mean this thing:


To me that's just a load of bull.. It looks like they put a CF sticker over the plastic tubing... plus that air filter nozzle looks horrible..... it looks like it would take in even LESS air than the stock airbox.

I say if you want a CF Intake, go with the Umnitza.... I'm changing my intake tubing btw - it'll make it even louder and it will perform better.

amanda776

Yeah those definitely look like stickers to me... I'm either going to get the Umnitza CF intake or the Injen CAI. I can't decide.

krdshrk

Umnitza intake looks a lot better when coupled with some custom Spectre PowerAdder piping.

Edit: Updated with a newer, better picture.

CustomTuners

carbon fiber"style" they love to get people on those. there isnt a real CF CAI for the tc. wouldnt be hard to make though. they make them for other cars

How does the sound vary from a metal intake?

krdshrk

I honestly like the sound of mine a lot more than any other CAI/SRI
