MY CAI

[stealth78]

[/IMG][/IMG]Let me start off by saying that I'm not trying to promote Hennessey in no way shape or form. My intake was my 1st mod I ever did and it was before I joined the forum and realized that there are other great companies out there (that arent trying to financially molest you)! That being said, outside of my CAI being overpriced I feel like this thing performs and breathes amazingly at highway speeds!!! I just wanted to post this because I have been asked multiple times to post pics of it, and I finally got around to breakn out the camera instead of crappy cell phone pics.

Do you have pics of the CAI?

 

[stealth78]

DOH!!!!! H/O

 

[stealth78]

last one. idk why I cant get them to load together???

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Yeah, that's isn't too impressive at all! Looks like Vatozone SPECTRE chrome elbow and a K&N filter? Guess that's Hennessey work alright.
And to think they make millions cutomizing cars. I've been to their facility and it kicks ass and most work they do really looks amazing.:dontknow:

 

[Midnight Runner]

I like the chrome.

Doesn't look like $500 worth of intake to me.

The stock setup looks better than that. I'll take my K&N CAI over that any day. I hear he makes good headers but they are $3k.

For that to be really effective I would get a heat shield made for it,all the heat from the rad fan and the belt will be blowing hot air right into the filter defeating the whole purpose, you put a heat shield around the filter and I bet you will notice a big difference!
I'm having similar heat issue also from the hot air from rad,my filter is right beside fender straight across from belts and beside my Paxton.

There's pics of a set of his headers on here some where that were all bubble gum welded he made for a TT.

That's a $75 intake at best. Like venomous said, spectre elbow and off the shelf k&n. I can't believe he didn't design his own elbow or heat shield. The chrome and factory elbow are so different in material it clashes and looks tacky. What did you pay?

 

[NVR2OLD]

It would work alot better if you cleaned the filter.

 

[stealth78]

It would work alot better if you cleaned the filter.

Thats a brand new filter, it has 100mi on it!

 

[stealth78]

I paid $500.... WAY TOO MUCH!!! Although it isn't some cheap elbow, its quite thick. There is a single bolt mounting bracket welded to the elbow that bolts to the backside of the radiator. And for heat... once you are moving I feel the placement gets it a ton of airflow. I have two K&N's that I constantly clean and swap out. They are constantly full of horseflies, dragonflies etc... Which tells me its doing its job of getting cool airflow... and bug control! Lol

 

[SergioL.]

Lol, lots of other intakes have the filter there and don't cost $500. And they look better, and they have a heat shield.

 

[Yellow venom]

Your filter is always going to be dirty with the air flow from your rad fan blowing hot air on it.

 

[ViperPete]

No offense or anything man but that intake looks hideous.

I have yet to figure out why no one has built a CAI where the Filter itself rests inside the pass side fender completely placing it outside the engine bay...

Project time!

My personal favorite

I have heard that they do have good gains, maybe a very simple look to them but not a 500.00 look.

But look at the name and that's why they cost so much.
