Harman Motive Intake Review

So after many months of debating I finally decided on my intake. From all of the quality intake systems out there I went with Harmon Motive, which I didn’t know much about. After receiving this intake I now see that their products are top notch quality. The quality of this intake is beyond my expectation [Very happy with the decision]. Their customer service was also superb with the help of Stephen Ruiz. I order my intake on Wednesday with 2nd day delivery, but due to inventory issue they weren’t able to send out my intake out on Wednesday, fearing that I may not receive my intake before the weekend Stephen and his staff at Harmon Motive upgraded my shipping to over-night air. A++ to Stephen and his staff at Harmon Motive for making sure I got the right intake and that my package was delivered in time. Thank you Stephen and your team at Harmon Motive for making a customer very happy.

Now for my review:

Install:
The install of this intake was a breeze with the written instructions provided with the package.
Note: I’ve never installed anything like this before so I was very proud of myself for accomplishing this.

Scale of difficulties from 1-10 with 10 being the hardest I give this install a 5. If you can follow instructions and use tools this install is nothing.
Here is the finish product:



Test Drive:
After the intake was installed came the test drive. What I notice right away was the turbo spooling and the blow-off valve; a lot louder now with the intake system . The car also pulls a lot harder and smoother at high RPM with no hesitation. A great deal of improvment from my stock intake with K&N drop-in.

Conclusion:
Overall I’m very happy with this intake. It looks great, sounds great, and the added HP makes me very happy I recommend this intake for anyone who wants quailty and performance.

I may decide later down the road to get their airbox kit for this intake.

You definitely should... at the price they are selling it now on their site... it's a deal... especially if you are like me wanting quality and performance at an affordable price.

Very nice.

I have the same UICP too. I like the way it matches your new intake.

What tune are you running with that intake?
