Awesome pictures!! Thanks for the install tip.

 

Guys I'm still going to get Riski's request made if anyone would like to rock it. The proceeds from his intake will goto his family.

 

Any word on the quick connect fitting?

 

Still waiting to hear back from the manufacture NORMA. They are in Germany I do have plan b. I'm still working on

 

The pipe looks quite nice, I was wondering why you are using such a heavy clamp as there is no pressure just vacuum. I have used a few different intake pipes on my XKR a never had a problem with standard clamps. Here are a few examples

 

Natural habit of over engineering not to mention the broad clamp distribute the clamping force across a larger surface area and less chance of the clamps cutting into silicone.

 

Great pics Nixx! Mafioso those are some bad *** Intakes! Only thing that scares me are those screws on the clamps. I just feel they will cause damage to the hood by them being soo long. Thats the only concern I think there is to it other than that they look awesome!

 

The screws will need to be trimmed back, nothing a high speed rotary tool cant handle

 

Agreed. Smaller clamps that are more easily hidden would look better.....

 

I like the look of them. Very industrial.

 

On a related note...what would be the feasibility/practicality of doing the same for the exhaust tubes? Here's a link to the Jet Coat site that some might be interested in. Wouldn't coating the tubes also help in reducing the underhood heat, thereby assisting Mafioso's design?
I don't know how doing this would affect the cats since a bit more heat would be kept internally and then to the cats and O2 sensors.

Jet-Hot coatings are a great idea for exhaust tubing as they can increase the scavenging properties. I wouldn`t want it on my intake as the stuff will attract heat to the covered tubing....

 

Very nice. Looking forward to a 3 lb pulley and Mafioso's modded intake elbow.

 

On top of coating the manifolds already and other parts. But that's another thread

 

Aww ya! Mine just came in today! Expect more pictures this evening!

 

Old vs New


I don't have a super awesome camera so I didn't take as many pics.

 

Weather providing I'll be doing Lot of bolt trimming haha. I have about 100 clamps int dining room so I'll be fitting and trimming clamps this weekend

 

Mafioso, I sent $275 to your PayPal acct.

 

Overall picture. It just sucks that I am waiting for my coils to come in so I can't give it a full test yet

 

..looks great bro, did you trim down your clamp screws? , I'm guessing you are doing your spark plug change as well since you are changing out your coils?
