Cold Air Intake

csouth · December 9th, 2008, 03:51 PM

Has anyone here heard of cold air intake for muscle cars? If so what vendors or feedback have you heard? Any good for a car that is not heavily modded? I noticed one in Muscle Car Review from a company called Spectre Performance.

Never tried it, but this looks good.

I heard these work pretty good.

That Ram Air box looks good, simple and functional, but why a poncho name for it?
Snorkula is what I would have named it.
I guess you could rip the sticker off if it bothered you.

Yeah those do work pretty good Allan, but are a lot more expensive to install...lol I'm still looking around the web to see if anyone has used the Spectre.

I have one on my car, I removed the high beams and routed hoses from the holes to the snorkel. IMO it is a tad over priced for the finish, but it works fine.

i was actually going to post the same question about this exact cold air intake. i want to put it on my 71 cutlass. id love to see some pictures of it on an olds if anyone has done it. also is it just for looks or did it make a difference in driving experience? howd the installation process go? im sure things had to be moved around.

Oldsguy fabricated ram air for his 71 Cutlass years ago. He routed the ram air to the front bumper where the cornering lamps were. I wonder if these ram air systems actually improve HP. It would be interesting to see before and after time slips.
