Ramair Intake Opinions
« on: January 18, 2015, 11:09:26 pm »
Seems to be very little on them on the internet, but seeing as they're cheap as hell right now, kind of tempted;

Anyone used one? Thoughts and opinions..?

Id like to know if the smaller intake diameter of 76mm is any disadvantageous over the larger 90mm intakes. Most seem to reduce down at the MAF sensor anyway.

No, I haven't bought one as I couldn't find enough on them to justify replacing the stock intake system. On a K03 the standard system with a panel filter is more than up to the job, but if these smaller diameter intakes were a good middle ground I'd of gone for it.

K03 does benefit from a decent free flowing intake, especially at stage 2/2+

Quite right, should of mentioned that I only run stage 1+ so it's overkill at my level.
