MY new PRM Intake...

[Shroomster]

is the price on the site CAD or USD?

either way...cripes...looks good though.

I would hope it would come with some sort of bracket sometime...that silicone connector is going to fatigue no matter what and eventually give.

eh, it really depends on how far the filter construction goes into the connector and how heavy the filter portion is. the connector could also be quite rigid. it's hard to say what exactly will happen over time.

The silicone connector is multi-layered and braided. It will take a long time for it to fatigue.

The entire unit is very light, and if you watch the video, I'd be more concerned about a mounting bracket causing the connector to pull away from the throttle body as the intakes movement would be restricted. Without a mounting bracket, the unit is allowed to move freely with the engine.

If you have a bracket mounted to the engine or trans (logically )
you wouldn't have to worry about the maf moving at all or fatigue at all;
but like I said fatigue will set in sooner than later because the silicone is what is holding the intake in the position it is in.

example I can think of is you're holding a balloon by the place you blow air into it. Your hand is the engine and the balloon is the intake....keep your hand still on a windy day and watch the balloon move around everywhere.

by the way I'm not opposed to the intake at all I'm just providing my constructive criticism and I'm not trying to be negative at all

I like the built in velocity stack to smooth incomming air.
