The GT500's lungs are plagued with restriction especially when modified. With ample room in the engine bay, SPE went to work designing the best intake we could. The intake design optimizes air flow at all vehicle speeds, even at idle.
Our main inlet tube is made of genuine 3k twill carbon fiber manufactured in billet molds and then processed in an autoclave. All excess resin is pulled out under vacuum creating a strong light weight part. It has a large 4.5" opening on the throttle body side terminating to a large 6" opening for the filter engineered in to the best possible shape from point A to B with no weird flat clearance spots. It fills the void and uses all the space provided.
Couplers are available for factory and aftermarket throttle bodies The blue oiled filter is a massive 6 x 11" cone offering a huge surface area for the best possible use of the space under the hood. The box/shield design went through many renditions during the design phase including a closed box, box with an open lid, and other simple shield designs. After gathering data we took the best aspects of each and got to work. Our shield/box design helps eliminate the static air issues of a closed box which funnels from an inlet in the grill that is smaller than the throttle body itself. It also eliminates the heat issues of a surround shield by having a floor to help deflect radiant heat. With all of these aspects taken into account our box allows for maximum inlet flow from the front of the car while still keeping unwanted heat out!
The box is coated in the same factory style textured powder coat as the GT500 strut tower brace. The box is mounted with a Delrin isolator and adjustable billet clamp to allow for adjustments to get that perfect fit.

Great fit. Easy install and getting many compliments on the look, Especially since the filter matches car color. I put one of you SPE stickers on radiator cover to give you all a little press. Car displayed at many high performance car shows around Dublin, Ohio.

Looks great! Works great! I've noticed I can hear more supercharger whine and have better throttle response with a slight increase in power.
