DTT Stainless intake horn pics
#16
I will prob do intake and exhaust manifolds then dual pumps and I have been lookin hard at the GDP intake, so that would be a big selling point for me. I never considered what intake to run to clear the dual pumps.

I'm looking at these intakes and was wondering if you noticed any loss in boost? I could be wrong in thinking this, but with a much larger volume you would lose pressure, right?

measurable results
What I really want to know is what are the measurable results of this intake horn? I have read information that most a/m horns do little to nothing for HP. So, when the company says 30 more HP what are they measuring? With what modifications to the engine? I have nothing more than intake, exhaust and smarty jr. would this be a good use of $300. or just look shiney and cool?

somebody, maybe even the company that is marketing these, should do a before/after dyno run just to put it all in black and white. That would make people a lot more comfortable spending money on it.

There was a thread a while back showing various intake horns. They definately do add "some" horsepower/torque. I know I can tell some power gain from mine without even dynoing it. It def. helps on the low end for sure.
I will be dynoing again on July 19th on the same dyno I made the 518 in my sig with...so maybe it will show something.

I agree they are not worth the 300+ they are selling for and there is more HP to be had with the money but I like mine. I used to have a problem with boost creep. I had the wastegate set to 45PSI and could peg my gauge at 60 with a good run in 6th gear. Since I have put on the horn it stays right where I set it. I read boost at the horn and not the manifold.
It is pretty amazing though when you look at Lloyds truck, making 1300HP, and there sits a stock intake horn with a few widgits hanging out of it.
