Air intake

[Carla 123]

Anyone use or heard of schmidt bros air intake?on their website looks like 10 little pods in the airbox.they claim 5 to 7 hp with their intake and I certainly don't believe that.just curious.

You can get them on eBay for a 1/4 of the price. But the Excell air box mod or Ulmers works much better.

It also comes with 3 aluminum intake tunes to put in the rubber intake boots , definitely wakes it up

Try Shmidt Brothers.. Just saw it on line at there site for 199.00. Looks to be the same mod as Ulmers.

I’ve seen somewhere on TY that the DIY airbox mod makes just as much power as the excel/ulmer/SBM kit. I did the DIY airbox mod and it made a huge difference. I’m deployed now but when I get back I plan on putting some more venting in the actual nose cone, purchasing a quiet can and playing around with a PCV. And matching all the new power with clutching. Hoping to get all the power possible out of it without boosting it.

I wouldn't worry too much, the factory tune is plenty rich. I'm running Straightline/Ulmer can and Stingray DIY airbox mod and don't notice any flat/lean spots in the power band with the newest factory flash. There is a couple of horsepower to be gained with a Fuel Controller though.

Weren't people having problems with the divider cracking on the airbox mods?

I took the divider out. It didn’t seem to make a difference. And the dividers were cracking, or showing early signs of cracking in the stock sleds too. I wouldn’t hesitate to do the DIY stingray mod again (including the removal of the divider). It definitely woke my sled up. A lot. I was surpised. But I still want more power.

What do your spark plugs look like after running the aftermarket exhaust and intake with no PCV? Still a nice brown color?

I think my sled runs so rich in stock trim I probably wouldn’t need a PCV. I’m going to go that route anyways so I can get those last few ponies out of it.

I've been running Ulmers intake and a Hindle can for 4 years now on my Viper and havent had any trouble. I will be changing plugs this year and taking a good look at them. I can report back if anyone is interested.
