Hmmm.... who is the genius here i wonder

 

I believe that is made by a member here. His handle starts with a z....

 

it just wont work

 

A little more info. would be a big help.

 

Actually, that should work, who ever made this just got rid off the tubing part. Not sure if it make any difference in sound, etc since normal short ram and this are taking in the same hot air.

I think Zonker is using one right now....zonks care to chime in

 

the air flow would be turbulent which i know from past cars you need a some distance between filter and intake to let it smooth out

 

have you seen the length of the runners on the intake manifold? lots of smooth out time between the plenum and the cyl head, so if there is a flow smoothness issue I did not notice it by the 'ol butt dyno.

 

We already know it works since Zonker has several threads on this board about it.

I'll let you know if it does not work since I bought his test system that he listed here.

 

i found the main change between the short shot and the other styles/designs out there is sound. Because there is no tubing directing the sound away from the driver, like a RRM, Competizione, Mopar, or Injen, one gets the full effect of the load pedal when pressing it.

as for temps, the interesting thing i noticed was that since there is a complete lack of ducting or tubing to receive heat soak from the motor sitting at a light or a drive thru for instance, once moving again the throttle body temp cooled off faster than if there was a tubed intake. So if you're moving, the temps are actually lower at the throttle body than if the filter was relocated to a stock or fender position. I think RRM concluded this too when they designed their intake as well.

 

So how is the sales going so far, Zonker? Better than expected and must be making a fortune now?

 

two college tuitions out of the way and now working on buying an Abarth from all that money

 

just need to dyno with it to see if any power gains

 

I didnt know it was Zonker's!!

 

After I do the muffler delete, Zonker's Short Shot Intake kit is next!

 

^^^ I second that^^^

 

20 min install - including fishing the socket out of the bottom tray that I dropped.

 

You still have kits for sale?

 

affirmative

 

im starting to want one of these. would love to know if it would make more power then the competizone panel filter

 

Any objective feedback from people who installed one of these ? (Power, sound, ease of installation, etc.) Looks like a really good option...

 

i installed this a week before i put my eibachs on and i absolutely effing love it! sound is throaty and it installed in like 20 minutes. the price is crazy low too compared to others. thanks zonkers you sir are bomb diggity....

 

someone post a clip on Youtube. I want to hear it! (if it's already on YouTube then.. Someone post a link to the Youtube clip!)

 

Nice Job Zonker, RickG had one on his 500 and liked it alot. Bang for the Buck!!
