New Product RR Racing Tuned Intake and Throttlebody Development Thread
#257
Been following this thread from the beginning and from the RR dyno although peak gains are solid it really looks like the area under the curve 3500rpms (possible lower) are vastly improved. Is it a function of the dyno exaggerating things? If I'm looking at it correctly it's ~75ft-lbs. Just cruising around that's must really make it feel seat of the pants faster. For those who daily drive, that's where most of the time is spent anyway.
Thoughts?

Where are you seeing the 75ft-lbs?

It must have something to do with the dyno chart.

Any other vids yet? I'd like to hear what it sounds like at idle and revving to see how much (if any) that new box changes the overall sound of the car. I definitely noticed a difference in sound between my old Takeda intake and the HPS Silicone tube that I just replace it with.
#261
Yeah sorry about that should have referenced where I was looking, was from the dyno chart posted on their website. Your right the ones posted in this thread didn't show near that much...

Well no that's not what the dyno chart says, it says tune/headers/exhaust VS 87mm intake, tune, headers, exhaust. Just talking about the area at 3500rpms, which shows ~75ft-lbs. I'm inclined to believe that it's just the chart and different starting times with the throttle or something based on the other dyno charts in this thread. Just wanted to throw it out there.

I have a customer that will be doing some before and after dyno runs.

This was posted by lolfunxion: "Just get the RR racing intake / tune and your car will sound like a beast. It adds a throaty sound that no exhaust can and all of the other cone intakes are dog crap so you'll have sound but lose power. I can hear my intake over my PPE headers / Joe Z exhaust, and the power is nuts."
Is this intake louder than all others out there (HPS/Joe-Z/Takeda etc...)??
The other thread that I took that quote from was from the secondary intake flap on the stock intake being drowned out by an aftermarket exhaust and it is to a point depending on the type of exhaust.
So does this intake bring back the primary sound coming from the front instead of the rear of the car based on the quote above??

Yes, it's louder than the Takeda (from what I remember, it's been a while since I had it) which would make sense because this intake is way bigger. Not to mention the Takeda intake is pretty much useless.
Joe Z is only an elbow, and I had it before this, so it makes 0 noticeable sound difference if you have an exhaust. Same goes for HPS. Just a few HP from being better flowing.
All of this intake sound is from the engine / front of the car, and it's a mental, deep, raw note or rumble that can only come from this and not from an exhaust. I'm in love with the engine note now.
You could've just asked me instead of quoting me in another thread lol.

Very true maybe I should've just done that ^^^^ lol......... Anyhow thanks for your description of the intake sound and performance! I'm probably getting the power package from RR which includes headers/intake/tune & handheld and am just curious after reading that other thread about the stock intake getting drowned out by some exhaust systems. Glad to hear that the intake sound comes back with this and makes the engine sound better!
Was also trying to get others opinions on this intake who have this installed, there has to be at least 20-30 F owners out there that have this intake from RR?
