Exclamation Vivid Racing EVO X - Part 2

Prototype EVO X Intake Kit and Intercooler Pipe

Not stopping with our all new EVO X, we have begun development of our new Suction Pipe Kit, Cold Air Intake, and Top Intercooler Pipe Kit from Agency Power. We are showcasing our prototyping process of these parts. We plan on doing dyno tests on each part within the next 48 hours. We expect some good gains because of the restriction in both parts.

Production pieces will begin immediately after the testing is completed. Expect these parts to be available in a show finish!

Wasting no time! I like that!

So far so good I am excited to see what it does!

Are you guys going to fab your own exhaust?

Yes, but we will probably try a few others when they are available to see power gains and differences.

Will these fit and work for the SST MR when it comes out? Or are your parts strictly 5-Speed?

ksuchewie - The upper intercooler pipe goes from the Turbo to the intercooler, for now there's no plans for a plastic pipe, but people can gold foil wrap it or use thermal insulation if they want.

DirectorSe7en - I'm guessing these pieces will fit the SST MR the same, unfortunately we will not know until we get one in the shop to see if there are any issues.

doh. For some reason I thought that pipe was the lower pipe.

A good intercooler should be able to take care of most of the heatsoak from the upperpipe.
