Halltech intakes
Just went to one of the shops here in San Diego and they were very 'Pro' halltech intakes. I got on Halltech's website and saw two of them. Does anyone know the difference between the T-1C and the T-1 sidewinder? Other than the sidewinder is carbon fiber and the T-1C just looks black plastic? Oh, and there is a $200 difference in the price tag. I want my car to breath easier, but am not really into the carbon fiber look, unless of course it's going to give me something the other one won't in performance. I emailed Halltech with the same question, but the folks on the forum aren't trying to sell me something. Thanks in advance, doug :confused:

Re: Halltech intakes (DouglasWc5)
I'm not familiar with the Halltach intakes. As for the materials, carbon fiber will be a little lighter, but you could save as much weight by taking a leak before getting in your car. The only other difference may be heat conductivity, but I doubt carbon has an advantage over plastic that could ever be measured at the flywheel, let alone the rear wheels.
Good luck,

I've got a TRIC for sale, never installed.

Re: Halltech intakes (DouglasWc5)
Just got a reply from Halltech and he said that the only difference is that the one is made of carbon fiber and that is why there is such a difference in $. Same gains associated with both. Think I'll go with the composite plastic one, not big into the carbon fiber look, and the only thing I want anyone to see is my C5 exhaust plate and the taillights! :cool:
