    I was asking if we had information on the CFM of the stock Inake system. Facts on several issues on this site seem to lack. There are many opinions and that's great, but hard facts help explain things and raise other questions.

    Just looking for information on what it flows or even what the "improved" systems flow. Any information would be appreciated.
    All professionals here but nobody has that information

    All anyone has is intake air temp, which obviously isn't even key for most gtp owners. I'd think you could have a 4in diameter 10in long pipe mandrel bent at 22.5 degrees fabricated by any exhaust shop. Give it a couple good coats of hi temp heat reducer and go open cone. The time to figure it all out or the money it takes isn't worth it.

    Only reason I was concerned is because of still got the stock air box assembley in my 98gtp and I want it to go by by.

    LOL, I have a 4 inch K&N cone filter, but want to get a panel K&N filter first. I am NA though.

    ITS A MOTHER ****ING INTAKE.

    There are MUCH bigger limitations than your ****ing intake.

    Peaceful till you start blabbing about how much of a tool you are.

    But for real dude, these engines have no top end so solve the powerband issues, then worry about the intake.

    Its like trying to find the best bread for a sandwich when you have nothing to go inside it....

    matt, stop drinking and typing.

    in all seriousness though, matt does have a point. the intake is not the restrictive part once you change out the TUBING that goes to the air box. if you replace the tubing with a nice swooping bend and still use the stock air box with a drop in filter then you're miles ahead of the crappy bendy tubing they use from the factory.

    once you decide that you want to ditch the air box, a short ram or open cone is the best you'll get. depending upon your level of power, an open cone becomes more and more apparent that it will work better since it just allows whatever the motor wants to eat up. cooler air becomes negated at some point. it's all a game of DIMINISHING GAINS.

    Nobody knows the stock CFM rating for the stock setup? So, that being said nobody knows the CFM demands of a stock engine? Nobody knows what CFM gains if any happen when a bent piece of plastic/metal tubing is used?

    All we know from the butt dyno is that it's better?

    cold, flowing intake.

    gut the stock air box, but a big open cone filter in it. use a new hose going from the box to the throttle body that does not have the ridges in it disrupt air flow.

    and keep the tb screen it, it helps alot.

    on a side note, with increased flow, you get increased boost. even my wizair would heat soak after time, once your moving, the HAI as you call it sees ambient temps also.

    Is a 45 bend sharp enough? It doesnt look like it to me, but a 90 is obviously too much. Mandrel bend is being used.

    you want less than a 45*. one 22.5* bend is all you need.

    if you could find some flexible hosing you would be in business.
