I have been doing some research for a cold air intake for my G8 GT and I am stuck between these two intakes which one do yal recommend, I have heard nothing bad about either of them.
Right now though I am leaning towards the New Era Intake and the other one is the Roto-Fab Intake.
In the research that I have done the New Era Intake will produce way more horsepower but i am kind of sceptical that those vents on the hood will not get any water in the intake while it is raining.
What do yal think?
Also I know that there is the Magnaflow exhaust system out and in my view it is extremely over priced. I was thinking of make the G8 GT exhaust system into a X-Pipe with costum tubing and changing the mufflers to Twister Performance Exhaust Mufflers and keep the stock tips and everything else to keep it as a sleeper.
Any suggestions or input on that plan? Please let me know
Guys,
Check out Harrop.com.au for some of the best info on the Australian Performance parts for the Commodore / G8...also..redbackexhaust.com.au they have the best sounding hi performance exhaust system on the market...with the exchange rate against the Aussie $$$ it could be worth importing the parts from Down Under...Just a Thought.
Has anyone installed the Vararam or the New-Era OTR on their car? Both are radiator front mount intakes but I am looking at what is going to bring in the most air and of course add the most power.
no one is really shouting out a definite CAI that is the be all must get... so i hear about the vara, roto, and K&N... in a comparison which is the best to get?? and also can you open the vents on the hood or is there a kit for this, and will water get to the intake from this
Testing has proven Vararam makes the most HP and gets better gas mileage as well. Track testing shows at least .1 better then other OTRs and a minimum of 1 mph too.
The VCM is probably the most expensive option out there, but I love mine! Even without the corresponding tune (yet) I saw a 2 tenths improvement in ET in my M6 GXP. The quality, fit, and finess are top notch, and installation wasn't too tough.
Injen will have an intake shortly for the GT. My car is down at Injen right now. They are using it to build the intake off of. They said it will be somewhat like the one they are building for the new Camaro's. Adrian emailed me the other day and said my car was doing about 302 HP at the rear tires. He did not tell me what the car did stock. I am picking the car up Monday afternoon the 28th. I will get the dyno print outs then and post them up and let you guys know what I think. We have installed a few of the Injen intakes on Honda and they do pretty well.
I'm gunna go afe with pro dry filter. I can get it for 228 w/ free shipping on autoanything.com with coupon 15retail. Once it gets here I am going to pandp tb too. Then the next thing.is hfc's and lt's. That's about as far as im gunna take my gt. (already have slp loudmouth axle back)
