C'mon, people- All you defenders of the intake that are crafting crossover systems that would make MacGuyver proud, and no one's bought my Lingenfelter yet?

Folks:
I to removed the POS Lingfelter 'performance filter' off of my 06. Bascially it doesn't fit properly, uses a heat soaking metal runner tube that simply too short... Notified LPE and they sent me the exact same POS. The units I installed on GTO's are far superior to this unit. I too went back to the stock box, and might fabricate a new runner tube, and give it another next spring..... |

The metal insert is in there, so the airbox doesn;ty saw a hole through a softer material. That was a huge issue with the More Performance Intake, when it first came out.
I've found that the best way to install the LPE, is to connect the metal pipe to the airfilter first. push it all the way into the cone, so that you have between 5/8th and 3/4'ers of and inch depth, and then really crank the filter on tight. Next install the heat shield, but don't tighten down the bolts. There needs to be some play in the heat shield, so you can #1 get the filter in with the metal insert already attached, and #2, so that when you engine moves due to torque, the heat shield can move some, and won't pop off your filter. After that connect the metal tube to the MAF, and tighten that sucker up. This should keep your LPE nice and tight, and leak free. I'm in the habit now of checking the oil level in the car at least once a week (to be safe), at the same time, I do a quick double check on the LPE for leaks. After the first few months, and really getting it sorted out, I haven't had a leak since.

I dont know how you guys can argue against the power gained from a CAI. When I got mine, the box said up to 15 RWHP! I wish I could put 4 of them in my car. That's 60 RWHP for 1000 bucks!!! How many people wouldn't jump on that?
On top of that, its so easy to install. In my book, a quality CAI is by far the best mod you can get for your car.

A system like the one in the link should get you about twice the power! |
