Hey guys,

What are your thoughts on this? It’s a dry carbon fiber intake by Arma Speed USA.

Pretty.

humfrz · 06-14-2018, 08:44 PM

Too expensive.

Looks really dumb. Probably no actual hp increase.

they could have easily used grimmspeed's actual design and just made it look different.

The only thing good about this would be look, because we all know CAIs on our cars don't do too much.....

I'm gonna say that, hey its your car and if your happy I'm happy for you. Almost spending a grand on an intake is too much for me. I'd rather buy some bad ass tires. Some Michelin 4s or Michelin sport cup. IMO. looks different though.

Does it come with a douchey sticker to put on the window? +25 HP.

It has a "hyper-flow filter". The sticker says 50. Where's the dyno chart for it?

Looks like 2 more screws to remove if you need to do anything.

For those heavy flow days.

Looks like more the show car crowd that has to have entire engine bay CF. For that price they should have some real dyno performance benefits but that's doubtful. Plus it still has the part for the stupid sound tube.

Clipdat · 06-15-2018, 02:39 PM

Hah, just noticed that. So dumb to keep that part and cap it off. Fuck the noise generator bullshit.

The large top piece appears to be more of a cover panel rather than an induction box. Pity.
