Default quick intake question...

I remember seeing it, but I couldn't find it again. Everyone is consistent with Vortex, Donaldson, etc.. but do you think the " hi flow air ducts" are worth anything? or the little "air coupler"?
:crazy:

I just put a Vortex and the BPP Power Duct on mine. I doubt the duct will add much if anything, but I did it as a complete mod. I'm very happy with the new duct. I've seen some reports of people getting cheap looking ducts from BPP...I don't know if they got an earlier model or what, but the one I got is excellent. Not cheaply constructed and very very smooth inside.

The Powerduct added 2hp & about 6tq on my last dyno.

The "air bridges" $169-300 have been reported by members at 0-4 hp on average. The "air coupler" is only around $60...or less, so its not much money to waste even its only a couple of HP.

They have more interior volume (wider & taller). Someone filled each with water once and measured the volume, but I don't recall the numbers.
