I was just wondering if anyone stepped up and bought the umnitza carbon fiber intake yet, i saw the video and liked the sound and was just wondering if anyone bought one yet. If you have please post comments on how you like it or dislike it and anything else you might like to add.



Thanks Jay

 

i'd like to know as well. i love the sound it makes, but for almost the same price, i could get full a K&N or injen cai off ebay or something, and this just looks like an airbox replacement. dunno if its worth the price. maybe they could offer a similar thing made of alluminum, or even plastic at a much reduced price. i honestly cant see why carbon fiber needs to be used other than to "look cool."

 

whats the price quote on those?

 

a dyno and a serious price reduction will convince me to buy one. 200 bucks for a piece of carbon fiber and a filter? umnitza is a reputable company though im sure they do something about it.

 

Well molded Carbon fiber is expensive... anywho I ordered mine today so I'll let you know how it is.

 

I installed mine Saturday. Sounds great. Only load at highest rpms. Deep sounding. Looks great. Easy install.

 

any power gains???

 

CF probably doesn’t conduct heat like aluminum does, which in this case, is a huge plus. I'm considering the Umnitza and Volant for that very reason, they're not made of metal which should help alleviate heat soak significantly. The WR SW has a cold air box, but, unfortunately, only the filter is covered up so the piping is still exposed.

As for the pricing, if it produces the same or better gains as the other intakes then I'd have no problem buying it since it's about the same price.

 

No dyno from Umnitza but gained 6-8whp on a Mazda3. Engine is definately getting more air and probably 5 whp. Looks and sounds great.

 

pictures???

 

they have install pics on umnitza.com

 

Im goin to install mine soon!!!!!!! i thought that i was the only one with this kind of intake! Now i c that i am not. well when i install it i will tell all of u guys.
