New air box

[fuelman]

My car is spending the weekend at the Macedo Spa and Resort for Vipers. Stopped by Saturday to check out the new brakes and other goodies. I got to see the new air box Macedo is selling. It looks great, especially for Roe supercharged cars, the tubes have no stress on them and the box should seal out all heat from the motor. I'll be running the car Thursday at Bradenton and I will be able to report on how the new air box works.

Can you take a pic of the air box and post? Thanks.

 

[fuelman]

It is a great looking air box, I'll take pictures as soon as I pick it up, not sure if I know how to post pictures on this forum. I'll work on it.

I tried their website, but didn't see the pics there. You could email them to me if you don't mind and then I could try to post them. I'm really wanting to change my K&N cone filter setup. Good luck on Thurs!

Thanks for posting the PICS, Tony! We're still testing and evaluating the Airbox which means as soon as we have concrete findings, we'll post everything here. I have to admit, that is one awesome looking box, Jeff!!

That will look weird on a car without a S/C

So if you order the box, be sure to order the S/C too ok?

 

[proracer1]

Scott.....You told me before that I could keep the filters..If you have changed your mind I will order from KN new filters and send them to you. Let me know what you want me to do.

If you remember correctly i told you to return with our box and you said that you had already shipped and that you would replace.I originally didnt have a problem until i realised that this would be a promoted air box.Lets face it that puts it in the vendor competition catagory.I would rather not have any of our products on there as i am sure whoever will be promoting feels the same.So please replace and return.If you need anything else call me or email me privatly

Thanks,Scott

I hate to open a can of worms here...but I can't see how that box is an improvement for airflow with all the bends. Maybe someone can explain this to me.

Also, Vipermed....you seem to be a stand-up guy with great ideas and products. You are no doubt a pro. But...with all due respect...please use spell-check.

Never start a sentence with but.

Scott......Did you buy KN Filters???

 

[proracer1]

MATT.....Who ever said any thing about airflow improvements? The purpose of this box is to bring COOLER air into the throttle bodies. This box seals off the hood at the NACA duct and flows the air directly into the induction system. It doesn't matter the route the air takes, or if the engine is N/A or force inducted. Cooler air is cooler air. We improved RWHP on this car by 13HP and RWTQ by 18FT LBS.....Besides we custom made this for my car. IT WORKS...By the way the only reason I had to design my own box is because the one I bought didn't fit and weighed 30 + Lbs.

If you are referring to our box,it in the ceramic version which you had weighs 21 lbs...we now offer one in aluminum that weighs 11 lbs and we also have one in C.F that weighs 3-5 lbs.And they also fit great.The box you returned was put into a 00 with a gibson radiator and upgraded P.S cooler with no problems. Not taking anything away from your box,it looks great.fits in great with your under hood design.Sorry for the bad spelling.I have just recently incorporated my second hand into my typing and it gets ahead of me.Spell check what a novel idea As far as the filters just find whatever fits to yours and return the originals to us.Thanks

I drove my supercharged Viper quite a bit yesterday with the new box, went to test and tune but an ignition problem had me breaking up a little bit, did not solve it before the end of the night. On the ride home (2 hours) car felt stronger in all gears. One interesting benefit, before the new airbox you could barely hear the supercharger from the cockpit, with the new airbox there is that "oh so pleasant" whistle sound. I have to believe that if I can hear the supercharger more now, that the new airbox must have removed some obstruction in the airflow path. I'll post when I have some dyno and track numbers.
