Yes another Innovate Thread.... But I want to discuss intake options!

[wrxgoose]

gonna try to find a way to bladge the intake hose with my Injen intake. if it works, awesome, won't have wasted money on buying it. if it doesn't, oh well, have to find someone who wants to buy it.

If I do find a way to make it work, maybe I can convince my shop to let me do comparo dynos.

It looks like it would be very easy to fabricate a new intake/filter system for the Innovate SC. I haven't looked into this but all I see required are some silicone couplers, a MAS adapter plate, some AL tubing and clamps. Since it won't add much, if any, power it's very likely that an aftermarket company will make this and charge a lot for it but you could easily make your own for far less if a certain intake sound is your thing.

$100 per whp is rape! Why do you people beg for it?

@PERRIN_Mladen would it work?

Nick,
In theory, it should work, but we are unsure as we have not actually fitted it on a vehicle with the innovate kit.

I have the Perrin intake with AVO Kit no hack needed. Although I can't say 100% it will work, I feel confident saying it should work (based on the fact both kits use the stock airbox).

Robi had a custom CAI that worked with the innovate kit.

I have an injen intake and my innovate install is friday. If anything watch my thread for a good deal on a gently used intake

I distinctly remember half a dozen vortech threads when it first came out, then when it made over X whp, then when someone did E85...the multitude of Innovate threads is inevitable given that its new.

The supercharger whine was very quiet when I first installed it.

Now after about a month of driving... it is freaking loud now with the stock airbox.
