Just Installed Protege Garage's Custom Short Ram Intake

[dasleeper]

So after recieving my custom short ram intake from Protege Garage yesterday of course I had to put it on! The SRI only cost $150 shipped and it is of very high quality. The sound is very awesome and I could feel the added hp on the butt dyno. The filter that comes along with it is a K&N so you know your getting a quality setup. Here is some pictures and soon I will have a video of how it sounds with the forge bpv.

Thanks Ken and the other crew at ProtegeGarage.com!

I'll also add that the install was very easy and only took about 20 minutes as opposed to a CAI that can take up to 2 hours.

Looks very nice, I'm looking forward to seeing (hearing) the video. Are there any differences between the models for the 3, 6, and 7? Other SRIs that are specific to the Speed3 (like the Nano) would have a lot more room in the Speed6 and can take advantage of some more length to get to the cooler air.

there is no difference between the parts on the 3 or 6. there is some lee way in how far in you can clamp down the hose and / or filter to the air tunnel.

longer size speed6 specific cobb filter ftw (not saying a thing against PG good work on the quality undercut guys!) i just feel that tinglie feeling knowing i have that extra so and so inches and cumulative surface space.

 

[Super Shredder]

that sounds so dirty

i suppose i could offer a larger filter.

Looks good, looking forward to the sound clips. I am trying to decide between this one and the Cobb. Does it only come in silver or is black an option?

Paint the tube if it bothers you.

I don't mean to sound negative but if a bigger air filter makes you feel better your putting your faith in the wrong things. The design/engineering is what matters for all performance parts. Cobb and PG took time to engineer and test their designs. I wouldn't call PG's price undercutting so much as they offer a better price for this part, Cobb just has a bigger industry name which in turn shows up in the price. Ok so, yeah, if it's a bigger filter that makes you feel better then more power to you.

Congrats on the new buy man, keep us posted I'm looking into both the Cobb and PG Sri's. I'd love the feedback.

i'll powdercoat it whatever color you want for $10 more

 

[Qwik6]

Thats a nice piece. Looks great. A powercoat option is nice too!

 

[kendon]

oh f' bomb!

powder coat for 10 dollars more?

flat black powder coat? consider it mine! glad to see the updated pic on the site as well. i digg it!

cobb offers a larger filter to fit in the extra space the speed6 has. and its common sense that more surface area and a greater cone vortex not only compresses MORE air but it gets slightly cooler because it has a longer distance to build speed and vaccuum pressure by the time it enters the intake tube. i think you did mean to sound negative. and offering a better price is called undercutting the competition, sorry guy. of course a bigger filter is better. TOO big isn't, but unfortunately the speed3 guys have to sacrifice filter size because of compact space. im pretty sure speed6 cobb filter is standard size for most aftermarket intakes, and not larger than its supposed to be.

Thus why I am running a 7" K&N filter. I noticed a big difference over the AEM dryflow filter.

 

[kendon]

just ordered one!

 

[OJ Bartley]

Hmmmm, this sounds like it might have just jumped ahead of the CP-E SRI with a $10 powdercoat and possible larger filter. Ken, would it be possible to bundle with the 7" K&N that Qwik6 is using?

Does this one feel solid when mounted? Anyone currently using this with the Speedie6 TIP?
