[NLS8520]

Anyone with the Sard carbon fiber intake pipe and could offer a review and possibly some photo/video? Increase in gains?

TIA

Carbon fiber doesn't add power. Just rice.

But it makes the intake air lighter bro!

I just feel like being an ass tonight.

Sigh...I lurked years before joining, was a great forum now a guy cant even ask a simple questions looking for owner feedback on a part.

The design is 45% lighter and is supposed to improve flow. From manufacture: Product made by SARD to increase power and air flow to the engine intake. It increases air flow by 15% over stock engine. Now have you ever heard the saying about opinions?

Like I said this forums has gone downhill...cant even ask a question without getting insulted. I am not about to lower myself to continue this discussion. Anyone with real input or owners please post up otherwise...pipe down.

its just an intake inlet tube, doubt it adds much more power than any other one.

I actually do. I just don't waste money on stupid things like a carbon fiber intake pipe that does nothing different than most intake pipes. In fact, it probably throws off MAF scaling without a proper tune.

The Grimmspeed intake is a great example of an improvement on air flow with the intake pipe. Only slight turbulence compared to several intakes out there. Way more turbulence in the TRD intake. This paired with the JDL UEL's amazing scavenging and a great Ecutek tuner and 93 octane have me pushing a great amount of whp.

I purchase smart mods that make sense and are proven when they affect power. Same goes for suspension. You get what you pay for. Visual mods are personal preference.

If you took offense to that, then you are in the wrong place. Be real. The material it's made from isn't what actually does the work, especially for such a short distance. There isn't going to be any measurable head loss from this pipe to that pipe, unless it just has a shitty interior finish or ribbing like the stock piece. Even so, it isn't much if anything. The inlet tube by itself is mainly for looks.

You ask anyone with a Perrin, Mishimoto, Zeal, or whatever inlet tube, what they think about it. You know what they will tell you?

1) Ya I definitely felt improvement. (Pure bullshit since even the most acute human body can't differentiate such a small change. They are just looking for justification for them spending money.)

2) It just cleans up the engine bay a little. OR It matches my engine bay better.



It is what it is. Nothing more. Nothing Less.

I should also stated that they are all the same damn shape too, so that isn't much of a factor.

My overall question was owner opinion based on anyone who owned the part, I was already fully aware that it will add little to no actual power, again I was asking about what they thought of the part and if anyone had a couple good photos. That's it, no one should say anything other than, yeah I have it its nice, here is a photo, or nothing. Dropping the mic..im out...
