Hey guys, here is my new intake mod. I just picked up the Predator Airforce Cold Air Induction Maximizer. www.predatorpower.com. I got it because I'm currently looking for any little thing that will lower my egt's. My Diablo Predator just skyrockets them. After taking this thing out of the box, I thought that this thing might actually work and make a difference. If you've ever taken a look at the intake tube that goes to the grille you'll notice that it is just blocked by a plastic "wall". How does that plastic wall allow cold air to come through? This is the plastic wall that I'm talking about:


Installation was really easy. It only took about 20 minutes. All you have to do is take off the grille, trace the template, cut out the template, file down the cut, and then put in the screws. The most time consuming part was filing down the hole. This thing should let in a lot more and colder air towards the filter.



Here's a picture of the inlet tube with the CAI Maximizer in...See the difference?



A picture of the finished product.




Predator claims up to 1 mile per gallon gain, up to 100 additional cubic feet of air per seconds at 60 mph, and up to 80 degrees lower egts. I'll have to test it out but I think that it definitely puts some more air up there.

 

That is a nice looking job. Many of us were doing something very similar called a "Zoodad mod". Your's is a cleaner looking install though.

 

Thanks, what kind of material are you guys putting in front of your "Zoodad" mods?

 

How much does that Predator airforce kit cost? I didn't see any prices on the webpage.

 

Whoa, it costs $43 at jegs. I emailed them and was asking them about it and they just said they'd send me one for free... I had no idea it costed that much. I think it's great and all but maybe they need to lower the price.

 

You got that for free!! Good deal.

 

Yep, I'll be buying more Predator products in the future for sure..!

 

they sent it to you for free, just for asking?
did you buy some other product of theirs?
sweet!

 

thats their tactic of reeling in buyers for repeat sales

 

Yeah, I heard someone on here talking about the "Air Fury" (which I guess is the same thing) and they said that they got it free with their Diablo Predator. So I just emailed them and was asking questions about it and they said they'd send it on over..nice people

Toyota Hauler, I didn't buy anything but I sure will be sure to buy some other stuff from Predator in the future..!

 

I will have to ask for myself.

I bought the Predator and they sent the wrong model #

 

That was me that got the first one for free, glad it worked for you!!

 

Haha yep, I was asking you about it the when you posted that one time. I was inspired by Powerstrokedlariat....and it worked..! Thanks

 

That's a clean, good looking install, but I don't think it qualifies as a new mod. I cut a hole through my radiator support on Feb. 11, 01. The day after I bought the truck. Kudo's for reviving the old school mod.

 

Yeah, don't get me wrong..I'm not trying to take credit for anything I was just wanting to show people this new product from Predator. I know the Zoodad mod had been around for awhile and I was looking for a cleaner setup..I guess my thread should have been re-worded
