Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

Anyone else with the 4.6 notice the sharp bump in power at the 4600rpm point? It's similar to the sharp VTEC crossover on tuned Honda's. At 4600rpm the intake induction noise sharply changes in pitch and the car pulls much harder. I recall seeing a stock dyno with a strange curve around that rpm region and its very noticeable with an aftermarket exhaust and intake. Does the 5.0 exhibit this behavior?

Here is the dyno:

Looks like it does. It must make a really aggressive cam profile change for the push to the redline.

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

has anyone actually had there car on a dyno after the r2c intake was installed to see if it really added any power? i installed mine on the car and it was great on the highway but i think in stop and go traffic it tends to get heat soaked and feel as if it looses power. has anyone else noticed this?

Out of curiosity - where did you learn about the R2C intake?

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

i did some google searches for intakes for the genesis and came across where it was mentioned in a thread. i contacted r2c performance and they said they have not been able to dyno this intake on the genesis sedan so they have no numbers for what this intake makes.

Thank you for letting me know. I'm glad you found us...

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

so no one actually has any info if this intake really does anything for our cars?

There are multiple intake dynos around and they all show gains.

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

These are my dyno results - not R2C, but you can at least compare.

Blue = Stock
Green = K&N drop in
Red = full intake CAI/RAM Air swap

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

I have been monitoring this thread since I bough my 2011 4.6 Last year. I recently circled back and noticed that R2C has released this intake finally. I just ordered one this morning. I should have it tomorrow and will post pictures. I have a Borla Cat Back system installed and am excited to hear what it sounds like paired with the R2C intake, It already sounds like a Muscle Car. I plan on adding the MSA cat deletes soon also.

JohnR2C Thanks so much for your efforts on making this happen for our community.

No love for 3.8 Sedan guys?

I'm starting to wish I would have found a CPO R-Spec instead.

I added Magnaflows to my R2C. The sound is fantastic. The recently released sound clips of the new Ferrari-based engine on the Alfa Giulia reminded me of it.

They shipped mine yesterday "so far very good customer service." They emailed me a tracking number last night

Here is a pic of the R2C installed on my 2011 4.6 Tech Package. It really enhances the sound of my Borla Cat-Back. Someone needs to make a chip for this thing soon!

Trying to get the image to show up.

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

There still is no real dyno numbers for this intake, it makes that car sound cool, but i am not sure it gives any gains once the car is driven and the engine and intake tube (metal) gets hot

Re: Cold Air Intake Interest??

Would the intake not be the same for the 3.8?

I need to take a closer look under my hood.

The 3.8 is situated somewhat differently than the 4.6\5.0 V8. The throttle body is positioned farther back in the Engine bay (3.8l) from what I can tell by looking at this picture. However, the differences are relatively slight and I can't see that it would take much effort to modify this to fit he 3.8 just fine.
