Default Anyone have this TPIS Reverse Flow Intake???


Corvette Cold Air Intake



This air intake reverses the direction of flow and provides cooler, denser air. At elevated speeds a positive pressure will be felt by the engine. Care must be taken in wet weather.

For every 10 degree drop in inlet temperature, approximately 1% more power is produced. On a 90 degree day we saw a 16 degree drop in air temperature at the 1/8 mile mark, in back to back testing.

This product is worth .2 seconds, and 2mph.
What do you guys think this thing is really worth....
It says take care in wet weather too

I have one on my LT4, I can't say anything for performance gains because I put it on as I did the heads/cam. BUt I have driven cross-country with it through nasty rais storms and never had an issue with wet weather.

For that one and the SLP, I wouldnt be worried about wet weather, so long as you dont drive through alot of standing water or flooded areas.

I think they'll actually help a modded engine, but for a stocker the gains will be small if any in ET.

I wouldnt pay what they ask for them though.
