Priced very competitively, good finish and fit. I feel they are priced to move for sure! They also include a dry-flow style filter that does not require oiling too.

Saw this the other day online, sure does seem like a good deal and it looks like a well put together unit.

paul_dezod

Yeah it does. DC is trying to come to the market correct on this....I mean, at a price of $177, you can't go wrong.

If I hadn't bought a different one this would be top o' the list. What kinds of gains are expected? I like how it doesn't have much bends to it! Also why do the intakes go to the smaller diameter near the MAF, to help measure properly for the sensor? Wouldn't that negate having the bigger diameter everywhere else, or does the vacuum line close to the TB create like a Venturi effect?

paul_dezod

The smush down near the MAF keeps load values normal and not skewed. This prevents a CEL from that too.

I'm very tempted to buy this, but dc doesn't have any info on their site about it, I.e.- hp/tq gains. Its bound to be better than the SRI I have from weapon r that they cobbled together from misc parts, but I'm hoping for some small(tiny) gains over stock at least. If anyone gets this let everyone know how well it works out.

The most gains I would expect to see would be 6-8whp. Nothing earth shattering by any means.

6-8? out of a 1.8L motor? no I am thinking more like at max 6 to the wheel....check this intake out? its a bit pricey but like the saying goes, you get what you paid for....

Looks pretty much the same thing, and dc is priced a heck of a lot better for what it is. Ill be getting one in a couple weeks.

Cool! We should have it in stock ready for you.

Just installed the intake last night. Looks good,sounds good. Far better than the weapon r I replaced. The filter breathes really well, it fits perfectly under the headlight. The whole thing looks high quality, and fits like it came stock.

WOW that looks great. I am still in the Market for one of these.
I saw pics of the Injen sp2104 and two ppl say they crack there MAF sensor trying to plug it in. How was the fitment of that sensor?
Does it fit under the light like this?

or is at more of an angle, instead of turning up?

cobaltbravo

Paul, feel free to use the pic. The sensor slid right in, no problems. The cone fits right under the headlight. The product feels sturdy, I doubt anything on it is gonna crack.

Intake looks great.

i realize this is not exactly on topic, but is there any real trick to getting those plastic bolts off to remove the bumper? i honestly hate the little devils but i know its going to have to happen eventually, since nearly half the mods i see requires the bumper to be removed...


love the intake though. its definitely on my radar when shopping for one soon.

cobaltbravo

They just pop out after you push the core in. And if they break, which they will after you've taken your bumper off as many times as I have, you replace them with better ones from lowes.
