RHO specific k&n intake now available

[matt35hr]

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing an early dyno tune video with the JB4 that included a pull with the K&N. The results were lower numbers with the intake installed. Seems unlikely.

That was a non rho intake

That was a non rho intake

Very possible, as it then would become a fuel delivery issue if it was not on the high output hurricane engine.

K&N is blowing smoke if they think their smaller filter will make 30hp over stock. I went the aluminum pipe route but wanted to make sure all the factory mounting locations were utilized. Took a couple hours of design and fitment but I think my intake came out pretty nice. I’ll probably sand out the grinding marks and cerakote it black if I don’t have any issues after a couple weeks. As for the sound, the turbo noise is substantially more noticeable over 2500-3000 rpm. Anything under that and it sounds completely stock.

Looks good, didja get 25 hp out of it ?? If K&N = 30 Yours should be at least 25 !!

My butt dyno is calibrated to k&n specs. Appears to be a 50 hp upgrade after accounting for the elevation.

I mean, I understand the hate. The internet hates CAIs. I get it. But I’m interested.

You can just send me the money instead. Your wallet will still be $500 lighter and you won't even have to pop the hood and turn any wrenches. End result still the same.

I will add +50hp sticker for another say $250

The airbox does indeed seal with the hood as it should. It is not flimsy like some have reported from the previous K&N that was not specific to the RHO. The airbox does look a little bigger and was a little bit of a pain to get lined up correctly. I do hear a little bit more turbo and air getting sucked into the intake versus stock. The truck does feel a little more responsive but that may just be me. I’m happy with for sure but I don’t have anything to compare to besides the stock intake.

Hoping someone with access to a dyno can verify the numbers.
