made a new intake for Dogstars car, this time with an AEM bypass valve, its really not necessary, but with so many people seeming to think they are necessary i decided to make a prototype with one installed. cuz really, the customer is always right.

here are some pics

had to trim the battery tray slightly on the one corner (no pics of that, naturally) the pipe is tight under the fuse box (fuse box could be shimmed to sit a bit higher if we find its rubbing too much) and its tight to one corner of the battery. but overall it fits nicely. its quiet under normal driving and makes a nice noise when you floor it.

for me one of the best things about this new intake is the simplicity to reproduce it for others later. still need to make a jig, reproduce another test piece and make sure it fits properly as well.

tease tease

is it possible to leave the engine cover on while having this intake? I dont know why I like the cover so much lol

engine cover is removed for other reasons.

He isn't teasing, he just doesn't believe in offering crappy products before they are ready.

PM him and tell him you want an intake :)


The engine cover can certainly be kept..... our engines are kinda ugly, not that the engine cover is the prettiest thing in the world, but it is an improvement :D

haha true dogstar, our engines dont look that pretty on the inside :grin:
its not the best engine cover but I have seen worse...much worse! :w00t:

Awesome. . . even better that the engine cover can stay on. She just doesn't look pretty with it off.

The bypass is a must see my next post :(

any power gains over the last one? I see you have it routed differently?

Eh, a "must"?
I've gotta say that I disagree, but I don't know how high your filter sits, nor do I know how deep the water you were driving through was.

its routed differently to fit the bypass and make fabricating easier, the reason we did it how we did the first time was to avoid using a 45 degree silicone coupler since they are expensive. power gains should be the same or better since this intake has less curves and at the closest point to the engine is now silicone which won't heat soak like the metal pipe would have. i am also going to get the pipes powder coated as well, which will make a minor differance in keeping the intake charge cooler

Any starting price point you have in mind? And does it suck up water?

Cold air intakes don't suck up water. Engines that have their intakes submerged suck up water :P

And no, it doesn't suck up water since my old one with the filter even lower didn't suck up water.

but how much will these be sold for?

You can have the one that is currently in my car for one MEEEELLION dollars. :D

Or there might be something in the for sale section now or in the near future.

if a person wants an intake quickly then the original from dogstars car is FS right now by him.

as far as these intakes go, i have to finish making a JIG for them, make one pipe to ensure that the JIG and template are good, then make them all up, then i'll take them in for powdercoating.
the cost of the coating will decide the price. once i have them coated and know the price i will post up a FS thread. there will be a max of 5 FS to start with.

I think I will take yours for the million dollars :beer:

JIG is done, tacked together a test piece tonight and put it in dogstars car, fit just the same as the original. i got some more pics as well, i will make a more detailed post (including the pics) tommorow once i stop by the powder coating shop to get a quote.
