There is not much to look at with the Cobb silicone tubes as they are just round tubes that replace the factory corrugated ones. The fang block off plates were removed to make room for Blinder 27 laser jammer transceivers that I attached to the aluminum bumper. I just left the fang area open to let in more air.

notice any power increase with the tubes or better throttle response?
Also does removing the fang block out plates do anything to aero effects of the car? Allowing more air sounds like a good idea as long as it doesn't make the car less stable at higher speeds. |
The available reviews on laser jammers were favorable on the Blinder 27. I don't have any way to tell how well they work. Cops won't get a reading of the speed.
The Cobb tubes looked like they would have less flow restriction than the corrugated factory ones. Not enough difference for me to be able to feel it. No high speed issues as of yet. Letting more air into the bumper area shouldn't affect handling as the bottom is still covered with the plastic panel under the engine. |
Thanks for the pictures of the Cobb silicone intake tubes. I just purchased a set, but haven't received them yet.

Man that looks nice Steve! :tup:
No I didn't hear from Joe today. I'll check with him on Saturday to see if they came in. |
Woah! Please tell me you are going to do a writeup with that also. That may be the big kicker right there, depending on cost.

Steve do you need to tune after installing the new MAF? I had put one put on my TT after it was tuned and I guess cause it was a bigger MAF it caused back firing and just didnt do good.

The reason you needed a new MAF on your TT was because the old one was failing. All of a sudden you were asking for 40 more HP and the tired MAF couldn't supply enough of a signal to keep the fueling correct. They are particularly fragile on VW/Audi cars. On those I actually go up 12-15% in size, but up the fuel pressure to account for the lower MAF signal. Read the link in the quote above.. |
Anyone know the ID of the Cobb silicon tubes? Is it bigger than the corrugated? I saw that Modshack used custom 2.75" which is bigger than the 2.5' stockers, but I haven't seen any dimensions of the Cobb tubes.
