Boy does Injen do it right

[DiabloStinger]

Want to buy an intake that takes less than 30 minutes to install, produces great numbers, and looks great? Buy the injen. 22 minutes start to finish. End of story.

Nice! Any noticeable power? How does it sound?

Definitely sounds more sucky than the tork ones. My car is so damn fast I can't tell if it is faster. Seriously. JB4 is insane.

And does it replace all of the rubber piping up to the intake manifolds?

It replaced both of the rubber hoses yes. If you are running the stock bypass valves you will reuse those hoses.

Seriously the most straight forward install of an intake ever.

I haven’t had the Stillen intake installed yet. Still trying to figure out what to do. If I remember the Injen intake dyno right, there is no torque loss at any point in the RPM band which is nice. Worried about the intake temps.

How much more intake noise from inside the car? A lot louder? Barely perceptible? Same as stock?

I’ll second that. But add if there is more intake noise under light acceleration or at cruising speeds?

I'm just trying to make sure the floppy, corrugated rubber piping gets replaced with same or larger diameter, solid piping.

@Kazz this replaces everything. You connect one small silicone piece to the turbo inlet and connect the intake to that. Then add the filter.

@Never thought the noise is significantly liuder than stock under acceleration. Also louder than the Torks due to the replacement of all the stock pieces.

I drove a good bit today and it is extremely responsive ... Moreso than the torks. You can definitely hear the filters gathering in the air yet it doesn't have any tonal noise from the piping... Which I like.

My turbos squeal like pigs under 100% load but I'll try to get some moderate acceleration videos later on for everyone.

Awesome! How does it compare to stock at cruising speeds?

 

[DiabloStinger]

Virtually no noise from the intakes unless you are accelerating.

Thanks! I'll be awaiting dynos on this. I wonder how it compares to Tork's. It'd be nice to see them both laying disassembled side-by-side. LOL

Like your braces! Black chrome powder coated? How did you have that done?

Thanks for posting - looking good. I imagine the little blue kegs in the centre are BOVs, did you add those to gain additional sound or for another benefit? Most of the intake videos I've heard with the exposed filters already have a pretty pronounced blow-off sound when releasing throttle under boost.

I had to do some paint on the wife's car... its magnetic black from Nissan.

Intakes do make the stock BPV's louder... just not the same as the BOV's. It is purely cosmetic though.

Here are the dynos from Injen.

just got the injen intake installed with the magnaflow exhaust and i start to hear the intake above 2,000 rpms. if i drive it very easy you don't hear it at all, but how often is that really happening. imo, i think it's pretty loud/noticeable when you get on it. i like it so far, but we'll see how i feel about it over time.
