So, I just got my car back from K&N's R&D department in Riverside and they gave me their new intake for the GE for keeping my car for a couple days.

So far everything seems pretty good. I'm loving the sound from the intake, it makes it so much more sporty-er. The pipe and heat shield are very secure, doesn't give me any feelings of it falling off while i'm driving.

The only thing I noticed was this smell coming from the engine after I get out of the car. Not sure if it's from the new intake or what. Anyone have know if a new intake would do that?

The smell is very unique, it's not a burning smell or anything like that.

 

how much & when can i order one?

 

Are you allowed to post pictures? Lots of GD people have had very bad experiences with K&N intakes. There shouldnt be a smell after a new intake though.

 

Instead of telling us what it doesn't smell like, perhaps you could tell us what it does smell like?

the smell is more than likely the plastic/rubber in the intake heating up and outgassing. Should only do it for a while.

 

Holy abbreviation batman! What's all that mean?

 

This Thread Is Worthless Without Pictures!!

 

Yeah, thats what im thinking as well. But i wasn't 100% sure

I'll try to get some pictures up as soon as possible, but im at the office right now so i cant really post some. Hopefully by tonight, ill get a couple quick snaps of it.

 

clicks!

heheheh;-)

 

Did they do any dyno's or any fun stats? however only gaining 5 hp at max all you will notice is the sound and your MPG going down cuz all you ever do now is floor it so you can listen to the engine... well for me that is the case

 

can't wait to see the pics

 

haha yeah they ran a dyno and its a 5hp gain. At least their not like some companies that make up bull$*@! numbers to make you buy it

but yeah all i do now is floor it whenever i get the chance

Here's some quick pictures that i was able to get on my cell phone.
If i ever find my camera, ill take some better pictures

 

Not a bad looking design. Simular to the PRM, with a different filter and a heat shield. I do like the heat shield part, though I wonder if it makes a real difference.

 

will it go on an AT?

 

Dont see why it wouldnt.

 

Very well designed intake. This is definately the intake ill be getting. Utilizes the stock air scoop, and has a heat shield. Cant wait for its release.

 

The heat shield is nicely made. Really sturdy and is mounted (by what i can see right now) with 3 bolts.

Yes, this will fit the AT.

Yeah, when they told me they were working on a cold air intake, i kept thinking about what am i gonna do when it rains, but when i saw the final design i felt a lot better knowing im not gonna hydrolock

 

Tell me about it man I drove through 2 feet of water here last week due to some serious flooding I got stuck in. Submerged my foglights enough to shatter the bulbs and fill them with water.

 

Looks nice with the heat sheild ....
