Thanks for the thumbs up, @Kia StingerHowdy, Stinger hive-mind!
I've been seeing posts/threads regarding aftermarket intake systems for the 3.3, but haven't seen anything about one for the 2.0 as yet. Does anyone have any info about this?
Any chance this thread can get a bump? I'm sure you, me, and @Luminary aren't the only ones wanting more info on this...
Thanks for the thumbs up, @Kia Stinger
Hey there, @ImportSharkMike ! Any info you can share w/ the 2.0 hive?
The warranty only applies to the part that is modified. For example if an LED goes out in your taillights, the dealer can’t deny you a replacement part because an intake is on the car. Even if your engine blows, they have to prove it was the intake that caused the issue. Of course, if your engine does crap out, then I’m sure we’d all quickly reinstall the OEM airbox before the car goes to the dealer.
This isn’t a major mod, such as changing the turbo or swapping out the manifold. Dealers usually won’t care about them but why give them the chance? A safe thought process is always go back to stock before servicing.You better think again. This has been discussed at length in other threads..
Awesome! Thanks for posting, sir! Will this intake be following the OEM routing? Will this be considered a cold air intake? VERY excited about this!Sure, the R&D process is expected to be completed in about 2 weeks. I expect to have pics for everyone at the beginning of March. Once I give NGM the go-ahead, they'll crank out the first batch. They're very reasonable as far as pricing is concerned too, so I would expect it to be in the $150 range including shipping to US destinations. (Figure about $20 higher to Canada and $30 or so more to the rest of the world). Again though, that's just an estimate based on other intakes they've done in the past, so don't quote me on it.
Oh and, actually the owner asked me about a few details the other day, such as what color piping/hoses they should do and what kind of filter. I told him black piping is ideal and a standard cone type filter. (If anyone disagrees or has any other suggestions, let me know!) They were thinking about including an HKS style mushroom filter, but I think playing it a little more on the safe side would work better. NGM uses S&B filters, which are probably the best out there. Personally, I prefer S&B to the likes of Injen, AEM and especially more so than K&N. They even have a top inlet as opposed to making that closed. Considering where the OEM air ducting is going to be shooting the air flow, these are perfect.
It's an SRI, though I'm going to test fit the carbon fiber heat shield that NGM makes for the 3.3 on a 2.0 to see if that might work. It's worth a shot! Air is fed to the filter from the OEM air ducting. It's a decent location for the filter actually.Awesome! Thanks for posting, sir! Will this intake be following the OEM routing? Will this be considered a cold air intake? VERY excited about this!
Yea but the ECU probably logs any irregularities
Great! Living in the greater Seattle area I was hoping you'd lead off with an SRI style version
