aftermarket intakes, worth it or not
 

Ive been seeing more and more aftermarket intake manifolds for the 24vs, my question is do they truly work as well as they claim? anyone have any dyno numbers before and after to verify?

you know i have the banks 3 1/2" high ram and i didnt notice anything than alittle lower egts but nothin to brag about but i dont have a race truck !!!! also if you like red they look good under ur hood haha

im talking about the intake on the side of the motor where your banks high ram and grid heater bolts to, ive been seeing those being built now too

oo ur talkin about the tunnel ram?? i dunno im about to order one soon tho!!!

and ur talkin about how much better they flow and cool # 5 and 6

right. im interested in seeing if they truly pick up the 65 hp and 200 degrees drop in egts that one company is claiming

65hp, doubt it. Lower egts? I believe it! 1,5, and 6 get poor air flow. If you were to put a IAT in the intake horn and compare it to the IAT near #6, I bet you would see a 20 degree difference between the two. Temperature in the horn being cooler of course. If some one on here with a tunnel ram could watch their IAT and we could compare it to others we would have an idea of how much more air is getting back there.

They dont work well on the 2nd gens for some reason.They will drop some egts but not much.They work very well on the 3rd gens.This works well $$$Performance Diesel Warehouse - Products for Dodge, Ford, and Chevy Duramax.

Okay but since numbers 1, 5,6 are getting more air, in theory power oughta go up slightly I would think

Only if there isn't enough air to completely burn the fuel being injected.

i 2 am intrested in a tunnel ram and a intake horn.. anyone have a CFM, if so how do u like it.:w2:
