Well i seem to have started quite the little dispute here. Hello, my name is Mike Morgan and i am the owner and builder of the Axiom intake in question. Lets see if i can answer all the ?s here


1. If i have been informed correctly the intake will fit on the vehicross, now the hood clearence may be an issue but i am willing to build a "test" unit for sale to the first person intrested for a discounted price. Then we will go from there.

2. As far as the design, as i have been quoted on here i could not get a tight enough radius bent anywhere locally. And also as stated earlier in the thread, a LOT of racing tream in both automotive and motorcycle industries use the sectioning method of making a pipe"bend". My entire Tigcraft Titanium exhaust on my bike is sectioned. The dispute over turbliance is technically a good point, but in the real world of hard dyno #s, a mandrell bent tube vs. mine is less than 1hp difference at the wheels.

3. The argument of heat dissapation is a valid point but remember you are sucking hot air from inside the engine bay in the first place. The only time i personally would be concerned with this problem is if i was running an actual cold air intake, such as air from the fender or under the bumper. I do offer powder coating and i can do high temp also, this does insulate more than normal powdercoat. The cost on powder is $40 and high temp is $50.

4. to answer the ? as to why i never made my hood scoop a functional ram air is that is not what i installed it for. Future plans for my Axiom include a Garrett T3/T4 single turbo and i installed the scoop to help "flush" the extra heat out of the engine bay.

5. a little on me and my company. I have been welding professionally for 10 yrs now and am very creative in my projects. I also work part time at a local speed shop building custom turbo kits for pretty much anything the customer wants, Vipers, Lexus, sandrails, etc. I started my own little company building custom application mufflers and intakes. I also sell stainless steel mesh cone filters as discussed earlier in the thread.

i think i hit most of the points, if i missed any or you have any more ?s please let me know. The price for the intake is $200 complete with filter ( choice of color for filter) and shipped. This intake and filter netted me 10.2 hp at the wheels in Co on our new dyno and a huge increase in throttle responce. I also build a smaller intake that uses the stock plactic elbow, this one is $75 with filter and shipped. So please let me know if you are intrested or have and constructive critisism.

Thanks Mike
