HansGT Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 don't you have to buy new filters for the SPT intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 They are non-reuseable filters. Right now I'm leaning towards removing the intake. Hearing the turbo spooling up and down is starting to get annoying. I like how it sounds above 3K when the engine noise surpasses the turbo noise, but it's just driving me nuts for normal driving below 3K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggert Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 same with my perrin drop in. the noise is ok but can get a little annoying. I'd much rather hear more boxer rumble via a cat back. spt intake is louder than the perrin panel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 think i'll save my money. no maps tuned yet for the SPT unless you do a pro tune noise can get annoying have to buy a replacement filter each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEBRAVO Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Looks Great. I may try to Dremal my Snorkel to make it fit. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You're not going to get the snorkel to fit. The edge gasket is pretty much right under the hood. The notch right before the intake is to clear the rod that holds the hood up. The only way to get the snorkel to fit is to heavily modify the heat shield. I think if I decide to keep the intake and get really bored, I might make a heat shield out of carbon fiber because carbon fiber is a good insulator, it's also a good conductor of heat depending on the fiber orientation. I have a few ideas on getting the snorkel to fit and also so it is supported not just by the two plastic screws up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are you looking to get for it shipped if you sell it? Dibs if you sell it. Super JDM part out: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65039 PM me an offer!

eb50 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 If everyone wants to donate a few $$ to me, enough to purchase a good portion of a new SPT intake, I will take the time to go to TDC and get it tuned depending on what TDC charges for it. I currently have no other mods, so I could do a stock + intake tune and then hopefully while I am there, pick up a AP and then do that tune... hoping that TDC hooks me up with a good tune price to silence all the people and help build their map bank...

andrew.anderson Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I recieved a quote (with shipping to my address) a week ago and they said they would mail the part last Monday so I paid for the part the same day.
