| Not Ranked : 0 score Have you tried putting on the stocker to see if it fits? If so, use it while you figure out what boost tube will work. I had to trim my corksport one when I went Fmic, sometimes you can twist the inlet pipe for clearance

@jbarone I am curious. I purchased an original 3.5 wp from a member here. Did you guys offer this intake in a black wrinkle finish? I haven't seen any pictures of one but just curious. Last edited by bhamitgeek; 07-26-2013 at 08:23 AM. Reason: MSF Database - Automerged Doublepost | ||

On the surface it may appear to be better to buy aluminum but, it's not and here's why.... The new 3.5" silicone intakes are a 3.5" ID unlike any aluminum intake with a 3.5" OD. Our intakes move a larger volume of air. Look at how restrictive the design of the aluminum intakes with the MAF screen air straighteners are. The bead roll in the tubing and the bead of sealant used to hold it is narrows down the ID so much you're wasting your money on them. Ours has no reduction in ID from the air straightener. Our silicone intakes do a far superior job at insulating the intake air as compared to aluminum. They do not scratch and stay looking new forever. They fit 10x better and have much smoother radius's then any mandrel bent tube does. These are just a few reasons why they maintain a very high resale value as well. So, if you buy one for stock turbo now, then sell it to buy one for a bigger turbo down the road, the performance is way worth the 20-30 you may loose on selling the first one. This was never any kind of sham to get you guys to buy more intakes from us. We are and always have been performance oriented not $$$ oriented. All the aluminum intakes we make came with black wrinkle powder coat accept a couple. -J Rokusek and bhamitgeek like this.
