Where to get 4" tubing for intake?

[Kracka]

Yeah who needs an intake, because we all know how cool the air stays under the hood...
Especially when the air filter is directly behind the radiator and only inches from the exhaust manifold/turbine housing.

^hmmm, so maybe I should make a hole in my radiator then? lol

[Kracka]

I'm just saying its a good idea to to get the air filter out from behind the radiator :)

Back in the day, with the red talon I normally ran with a filter/intake, until it fell off. So I then ran with no filter or intake and tested the car on the chassis dyno with and with out an intake, it made the same power either way.

Do you want to suck in 70 degree air from outside like Halons car, or 150 degree air off the back of the radiator.

My research back when I was looking for an intake showed the exact opposite. Everyone who was running an intake to their SMIC area was netting gains.

In the end it was simple for me. Ingest hot air from the engine bay, or cooler "outside" air. Does your car run better on a hot summer day, or a cool autumn evening?

Autumn, but that's cuz the pretty leaves on trees..or maybe cuz that's the time of year i get my shit together and get tuned before winter.

I know it should make more power, I had a FMIC and a setup that was past the limit. I was just saying, the one time I tested it, there was no change.
