There have been dynos posted that are showing 6-11 rwhp/tq depending on conditions. These are with tunes (that's all I looked for) which I think is more applicable because the guys with tunes are looking to get CAI because of the high-end RPM restriction.

No videos unfortunately. Like I said, I'm not a representative of Stett, so I don't have time to do all that stuff.

Update: $625 is not the correct price. That is the suggested MSRP. They are selling it for less. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, they are available now. As well as their upgraded intercooler. You can e-mail them through their website for order details.

I read the thread, and I stand by my post. This intake is way too expensive for the gains.


If you wanted to compare stock to intake, show me a dyno comparing stock to intake. Don't make all sorts of half baked assumptions on power gains because "people are seeing Xwhp increase."

Then you go on and speak out of your ass on the benefits after a tune. Are you serious with that? Got a dyno for that? This whole thing is bogus. If you want to speak positively about the performance this intake makes over stock, and with a tune, STOP BULLSHITTING AND SHOW US THE DYNOS.

The only reason you're seeing skepticism and getting flak is because you are failing to provide the basic information. Give us the data, then we can talk. Otherwise, stop specuating about other people's dynos, and what a panel filter makes over stock. Do it right, and run the fucking dynos.

Calm down there Belichick. I've already posted that I am going from a stock airbox to this intake. I am picking the car up tonight and will have dynos posted by sunday....I will hopefully have videos of the dyno runs as well

It has been proven multiple times that even a simple hot air cone intake in the engine bay will make significant gains on a car that runs close to 15psi. The dynos will come soon, this thing just came out. No point in being close minded about it. MSRP of $600 is fine...it will sell for less.

Take your attitude elsewhere. I'm not even wasting my time with replies like yours. Its people like you that make me not want to contribute to this forum anymore.

just snap a couple shots and post them...
what. you got time to get a dyno, but no time to post some shots for the boys....

I don't mind taking a picture of the intake, like I said. Videos, I don't have the time. Especially with the weather, and with responses like ones from AWD Addict, I'm really not motivated to help anyone on this forum if I'm going to get railed on like that.

I'm calm.

I was accused of making blind comments and not reading the thread. I read it carefully, and my comments and questions all have merit.

Until someone tells me if the hood was open or not, this whole analysis is borked anyway. THEN, we need to see dynos, beacus using completely different dynos on completeley different cars in completely different environments for basis is very simply, wrong.

for a $700 intake, these questions shouldn't even have to be asked. The data should have been posted up with the product, and that's it. Let the discussion begin. Instead we get a photo from someone elses car, with an older version of the intake that looks different, a dyno with the hood (open or closed?), and swag guesses at what the gains might be.

Help us out here, for Christ's sake!

i hear ya...
we just want to see if they have done any mods. to it since the proto...

thx

Dude, no offense but if you want all that info, go to the manufacturer. I'm in no way related to Stett. Just one of their first customers who got the intake and wanted to post up pics for a CAI-starved community. Since there's not a lot out there I thought I'd post up mine and help you guys out with a new product on the market. I'm not equipped to answer all the questions you ask. All I'm trying to do by replying to this thread is make sure it stays on topic and answering what I know.

The intake is exactly the same are the pre-prod. version just with cleaned up welds, so that's not a problem. I have an e-mail asking if my hood was up for you, you can thank me later. Swag guesses? You can see what the gains are over the leading drop in on my dyno. No guesses there. Want to know the dyno with a tune, DP's and exhaust? That's coming this weekend. Anything else you want, ask the Stett directly and stop being a dick to me for not having what every single detail you desire. Sorry I'm not psychic but I did my best. Stop bitching.

Pics added to the first post. No mods done really. They've cleaned up the welds some though.

thats a CAI? (guessing it is)

The filter is down behind the bumper above the fog light. Don't have pics of the install since Stett did it.

[WAYNEBO]

OMG!!!!! Me want right now!

[getInline]

I like the look of this intake, I just wish it was made of a less thermally conductive plastic material like PVC. I don't want my air passing through an easy-bake oven.

they should just thermal coat the intake ...it should be a quick job and not that expensive.

[Dan335i]

Dinan is also coming out with a CAI.I,m sure its going to be a good looking functional expensive intake.Eric from Dinan told me its going to be under 1k.Dinan is also coming out with a LSD for the 335.Cant wait to hear the price on that unit.

[j|rz44]

thx for that shots man...
did they have to do any cutting to get that pipe through?

[midlife]

yeah, stett says a bit of cutting of the driver's sied fender lining is needed.
....they also said that to replace that fender lining is only $30 in u ever want to go back to stock.

stett: i am interested but want to know:
1/ confirm you do not have to remove the bumber to clean the air filter
2/ confirm your early prototype tire rubbing problems have been fixed. and if owner
changes rim size and front tire width 1 or 2 sizes, your unit will still not rub the tires.
3/ some members are saying that the stainless steel in your tubing will retain engine bay heat,
can u offer thermal coating as a option? if answer is yes, at what additional cost if any??

thanks and kindly reply

I think that you are failing to realize that the OP is NOT the vendor. He is just a customer so he doesn't have to provide you with anything.

He has posted dynos with some info about the intake, and although the dynos weren't ideal since the base run wasn't entirely stock, that's no reason to fly off the handle. If you want more info contact the vendor since its his job to provide the info you want, not his customers. Just my 2 cents.
