In the installation instructions it says "we recommend for optimum performance that the air baffle inside the rubber inlet tube be removed". Assume they are talking bout the hydro carbon trap. If so, wonder if that is where the increased horse power advertised is really coming from?

 

I'm sure it doesn't hurt, but the open air filter versus the super restrictive airbox is making a big portion of that extra 8 horsepower...If the baffle was the only issue then they could have just fabbed an aluminum pipe to do away with the plastic piece and not bothered with the filter at all...Sounds like the trap is a different piece anyway. Haven't seen anyone post a pic of the location yet so I can only assume. I've been really happy with my MMR though...Here's a shot of it...More pics at http://www.cardomain.com/id/swingle007

 

looks really good john. slater's doing some good work.



anyone have any thoughts on how the MMR will compare to the K&N? asthetics, performance, price? i looked on k&n's website but it doesn't seem like they had anything available.

 

Thanks Steve! No word on the K&N on my end so far. All I know is that the aluminum pipe and heat shield will be great when MMR gets them out in January.....I'm so ready to get rid of that big obnoxious black intake tube setup from Ford. The aluminum kit will look amazing with the cone on the end and IF Ford or Steeda ever put out the cover for the top of the motor/intake, the engine compartment will be a sight to see! Can't wait to see your underhood pics after your MMR install!

 

chite! january for the aluminum intake. well looks like i'm gunna be waiting on that too. i guess the MMR aluminum intake w/ the heat sheild and the bassani xpipe i'm craving will be out around the same time.

hey john, i'm going to see if i can still make it out for your tune on the 18th...a friend of mine and i might come out. where r u going to be at, and what time? PM with the info once you've got it all planned out.

ugh...i keep tyrying to find MMR's website online but for some reason i can't get it. i also looked through the sticky for parts manufacturers but didn't see it. does anyone have the link handy?

Zero, K&N is in the process of making one right now. I just dropped off my car there yesterday so they can R&D the process.

that's awesome man. you'll have to let us know how it looks, run, sounds, once you get it back. did they give you any info on when it is supposed to be available?

i'm still curious what the difference is going to be between the annhilator from MMR and the K&N. especially since they both use one with an aluminum hose right?

 

When you talk to them can you confirm that the performance increase is due to their product and not the removal of the HC trap?

 

Here's the MMR link for those interested in their intake...

Enjoy the intake and other great products!

 

John, the HC trap is just inside the rubber inlet next to your CAI unit.

 

Thanks bullitman, as soon as I get it back from the paint place (having the rear end blacked out til Wednesday afternoon) I'll get in there and "magically" remove that trap. LOL Every little bit helps!

 

When will some company market a "ram-air" type intake that is combined w/twin scoop replacement hood? That TB/manifold is begging for one, so why not?
:bang:

 

Just making it an actual link to help out.

Cool, I just ordered the MMR intake kit. It should ship by the end of this week so I should get it by the end of next week. Another Xmas present for me

 

They told me they will try to have their kit out by January. Officially they told me they have to leave the hydrocarbon trap in there so they will take a baseline dyno with all the stock stuff on there and then I believe a dyno with their kit with the hydrobarbon inside of it still (but I will ask to make sure). I will ask them to make sure what they do and what exactly is on the car when they make the dyno runs. He told me they can't release the dyno results of their kit until the kits made public so I won't have any dyno results with their kit on the car until later.

 

Just finished installing the MMR Intake Kit, the only "baffle" in the intake tube is the hydro carbon filter, which I had already removed.

 

out by january? that's not too bad. i'm looking forward to seeing the dyno info on both. does anyone have access to a shop to do an emissions test to see how much of a difference the HC trap makes as far as passing that test?

 

Any chance of them making and "unofficial" dyno without the HC filter to see any additional improvements. Especially since I think most of the people that will buy the kit have already removed their HC filter (err, I mean - have noticed that it fell out).

 

I have a appointment for Saturday to have the sct reflashed. Will get some numbers.
