I got the modding fever again and deciding the stock intake tube with its silencer is keeping me from some power and from hearing my turbos sing. I thought that I would just take the silencer out(which takes 5 minutes to do), but after doing some research I found out that it serves a dual purpose to direct airflow turbulence caused by the convoluted elbow right before the silencer tube and the silencer itself. This means I will want to replace the intake tube from the convoluted elbow down to the turbo inlet tube if I want to take silencer out.
I do not want a whole intake kit because I think it is just a waste of money, but I do want to replace this tube to take the restrictive parts out of the stock intake and to make some sweet turbo music that is not too loud. The only ones that I have seen so far that makes this tube is either K&N and Airaid. With the K&N you have to by their oiled filter as well (which I don't want) and is $220, but the Airaid offers just the tube itself for $150. Does anybody know of anyone else that sells just that intake tube from the filter box and sensors down to the turbo inlet pipe?
Baw haw ha!! This coming from the self appointed RV.net clean air freak... what a Hypocrite! If your are the so-called expert on emissions, you would know the OEM intake is as good as it gets. As stated earlier, unless your willing to do the whole show... but as you so loudly pointed out in other posts... your just "adding to NOx polluting gang" of "coal burners", Good luck Hypocrite!
Or maybe your just doing this to stir up the hornets nest?
