Aren't those intake airhorns?

 

I have a CFM+. I like it, but it doesn't have holes tapped for meth, etc. The composite one matches the engine compartment better than the stock one, and noticed maybe a slight difference in egts. I didn't like the banks elbow because of the studs being right in the flow of air, and never had the ATS.

 

I have the GDP intake horn. It is a nice piece, very functional and looks good too. Larry has them in the store here, check it out.

I have the banks, I didnt notice much difference but It does flash up the underhood area. I dont know if you'll notice much performance gain with any of them or like they all claim mileage, but I think it would only make much difference if your pullin tons of air to a couple of big chargers or something.

 

thanks guys anyone heard anything about ATS Intake horns?

 

I have the ATS, but I dont think any of these do a whole lot. I got mine for the 3 ports in the back, incase the day comes for drugs.

 

That's the only reason I would buy one unless I was running a set of twins......

By the way... very sweet sig RyeThomas. What kind of #'s are you running on the dyno?

 

I ran the ats for a short time and ended up trading it for some more important parts. It was well made. the only thing I didnt care for was the dipstick is pushed up more because it is taller than the stocker. I didnt notice much difference out of mine. that one from hellman looks nice that some guys posted on here and it was pretty reasonable compared to the others.
me personally I would spend your money elsewhere on other performance parts. but they do look nice under the hood

heres a link to the one I was talking about. I have no ties to this company just thought it looked nice and a little cheaper

 

X2 for Hellmans intake....

 

I have the ATS intake. It looks great under the hood and is made well. I bought because I wanted to do something but didnt want to mess with the ecm yet. Minimal if any performance gain.

 

I am running the hi ram, and can't say one way or the other what it did to performance as I made several changes at the same time as putting it on.

Does anyone know what the inlet diameters are on all of the listed horns?

Thanks!

 

We don't know what kind of numbers RyeThomas is putting down because instead of showing up at our recent dyno day he decided that he should stick with his previous plans of getting married and going on a honeymoon!!! Some people just have no idea of what their priorities should be!!!!!!



Timinva put down 775hp with the stock intake horn on his truck. He apparently has no intentions of upgrading it either. Those things look cool but they apparently don't do a whole lot performancewise. I guess if I got a great deal that I would possibly buy one though just to make it look a little better under the hood....

 

Yup, agreed on the performance side. Only reason the hi ram is parked under my hood is the fact that it came with the intercooler.

Now looking to see if I can get one of the other ones listed to work with the existing plumbing from the IC. I would actually like to free up some space in there!

Diameters anyone?
