Designed for performance enthusiasts seeking enhanced power, throttle response, and efficiency, this intake system redefines how your engine breathes by leveraging advanced aerodynamic principles.
Whether you are a daily driver looking for a reliable upgrade or a tuner aiming to maximize your vehicle’s potential, the Secret Weapon Intake delivers a significant increase in air volume and quality, resulting in improved engine performance and a more engaging driving experience.
Key Features:
This intake system incorporates cutting-edge technology and precision engineering to optimize airflow and durability:
- Delivers up to three times more air to your engine compared to conventional intake systems, enhancing combustion efficiency.
- Utilizes the Coanda effect and Bernoulli’s principle to create dual air velocity profiles within the intake pipe, maximizing airflow volume and velocity.
- Constructed from premium 6061 aluminum using advanced CNC mandrel bending for strength, durability, and a polished, high-quality finish.
- Equipped with a high-performance air filter featuring a tuned velocity stack that reduces turbulence and increases air velocity.
- Includes a 1-inch thick high-flow polyurethane foam filter element that provides excellent filtration with minimal airflow restriction.
- Reusable foam filter element designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring long-term performance.
- Backed by a 1 million-mile limited warranty, reflecting confidence in product quality and durability.
- Patented design (US Patent #7,263,961B2) that sets it apart as a unique and innovative intake solution.
Construction & Design:
The Secret Weapon Intake is meticulously crafted from high-grade 6061 aluminum, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to heat and corrosion. The intake pipe is formed using CNC mandrel bending, which ensures smooth, consistent airflow by maintaining optimal internal diameter and eliminating sharp bends or restrictions.
The polished finish not only enhances the visual appeal of your engine bay but also contributes to heat dissipation. The intake’s design strategically applies aerodynamic principles to create two distinct air velocity streams, improving volumetric efficiency and engine breathing.
Performance & Sound
