air intake tube

[K*A*B]

have there been a couple designs of the factory intake tube
in all of the pics i see they are kind of smooth and rectangular
mine is more rounded looking and has a bunch of restrictive looking stands running down the middle of it , i guess they are used to quiet them down
i took off the resonaters and silencers , sealed the holes up but still have these stupid looking blockages in the tube

LMS does a custom intake tube, contact geno.

 

[K*A*B]

i did , i was just wondering if 2 different tubes exist or if all the tubes i see in the pics are custom

You have the earlier model with the 'dimples' in it just like the current one that I have now. There is nothing you can do about it, unless you cut the intake tube open at those 'dimples' and fiberglass the holes closed......like I plan on doing...... :Beer

 

[K*A*B]

will the later one fit under the hood still , i have a later one coming , i wonder if there will be a performance difference

 

[JoeyLincolnMK8]

what ive heard is it does not really give any "noticable" performance... but it will give better air flow, and nice growl as well.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

No difference at all.

No difference at all.

Maybe not but looks a lot better...

 

[JoeyLincolnMK8]

I meant between the dimpled version of 1993/94 and the latter smoothy.

Off topic, but Driller where did you get your radiator hoses?

There is a guy selling a custom aluminum tube on Ebay:

You can't tell from the pic but it's just sleeving and dress up ends.

i screwed the nitrous nozzle into it at a little to much of an angle and it started rubbing the hood :Bang , now it has formed a couple cracks in that area

i was going to do that , but even when it is coated it holds way more heat than the plastic one

 

[unstoppable]

I disagree.

What size K&N fits on the rubber connector for the intake tube?

Would a Ice Box help it out for HP?

Where can I get a Air Intake?
