Marc, I've actually never seen the design of it as installed in an engine bay. I thought it left some 5 - 6" gap between the opening of the intake and the hole at the front of the engine bay??? I'm not sure, though I'd have to say whether this is a CAI or NOT will be quite dependant on how big this gap is (thus how much engine bay air is getting into the path of it.)


I should have seen it last time; show it to me next time.

 

A cold air intake has the filter directly exposed to fresh air. Cold air is forced directly on to it. Anything that doesn't... isn't.

 

The K&N 2 is like that... the PRM has about a 1" gap at the lower side of it and it's basically touching at the top. It's not a closed system.. but still works pretty damn well.

 

Rev - hence why I first said, does CAI definition depend on it's actual location, OR what temps are being read at the MAF?!?! If that's the case then NO not a TRUE CAI, but does that really matter if it is sucking ambient temp?!?!

Footman - I have a whole thread on it in the aftermarket part of this forum u can see pics and sound there. I have moved it a bit since there, to get it that much closer to the hole. It is not a 5 or 6" gap like the K&N is. Yes for sure I will show you next time!!

It all comes down to peeps personal impressions on what they want/looking for and for me after the MS CAI, LOVE the PRM!!

 

So when is the next meet? "East/North" wise? Seems lately everything is either Oakville or Brampton.

 

I'm sure after mosport something will be figured out.

 

Thanks to everyone for their input!
I think I'll go for the RB Revi Intake & Duct, it's on sale as a combo for 439 US @ RB that makes it competitive with others out there if subtract the cost of the duct, which I want anyway. Force Air Induction! IMO

But it's been a great debate as usually.

 

Good stuff!! I like that intake...but man it is expensive and very quiet! Enjoy!
