injen intake air scoop improvements?

solid77 · 11-30-2009, 12:59 AM

overall i like the design...

but does injen plan on improving the air scoop? why didnt they utilize both sides of the grill scoops? the air scoop seems like it could have curved more towards the 2nd air filter so it got more air compared to the other air filter. seems like plenty of room to do this too...

This is the only thing that I complainted about the Injen intake, else is fine.

is it supposed to be one of the best intakes out right now? the STETT cai seemed interesting too, but looked a little restrictive compared to the dual cone intakes.

I think if you alter the brake duct... there is a blast of air the comes up where the second cone is currently. It would be nice to see a brake duct alteration kit pre cut to push this air up to the second cone
