Snorkel Party

[BD]

That actually is ALOT bigger than I imagined it to be.

That's what she said... the girl behind the Acura dealer counter:biggrin:

That actually is ALOT bigger than I imagined it to be.

Note, the snorkel is riding about 1" higher than it would be mounted in these images, as the fasteners are sitting above the OE glass.

Im sorry, but thats the ugliest thing Ive ever seen:frown:

I agree, term fugly comes to mind...to each his own...beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I think it looks funny cuz these cars are not wide enough..

The JGTC cars are a lot wider making it look less like a conehead.

lol, they could have used a better model...

 

[Spaz]

I get the point of the snorkel and I completely understand the purpose and gains... but do they have to make it so big and so gaudy....



I mean why can't it just be a sleek design like the GruppeM intake for the RSX...

 

[TANTO]

I've often mused about a scoop similar to the McLaren F1. Very small and VERY nice looking IMO. I assume Gordan's testing showed that this small scoop directly in the laminar flow path still afforded good flow. But that doesn't mean it would work on the X. Race cars generally stick it way above this layer, hence the ugliness. I think the NSX top skin is welded on, anyone verify? Ram air only starts to work at around 100mph.

 

[Jin1976]

I often thought the snorkel on the NSX is following the design for Formula 1 car. What would be the best air intake if it is not F1 style.

^thanks for the ad ~ that advertisement is so "asian" haha

Short of buying it from the mfr I wonder how else we can get our hands on one to test/try out....hmmm
