Randall Carbon Fiber Cowl Induction

Postby randymx5 » Fri Jul 07, 2006 5:14 pm

Does anyone know where i can purchase a 'Randall Carbon Fiber Cowl Induction' kit. As far as i believe it looks like the pics below.

would the scoop be benificial to air flow or is the vacuum which is created here be enough??

i know where you can buy a used autoexe intake like that online from a place in brisbane. they don't have the price listed but you can always enquire, it'll still cost you a lot though.

Hmmm, looks like the bonnet would foul on that when you tried to open it?

Yeah it does actually. You'd hope that they'd thought about that though.

Dont know where to get it, but it looks cool....... i doubt it would actually be worth the money though

I'm planning on doing a dodgy intake (Beverley style) this weekend actually.... my car is pretty quick when it's warm, but not when it's hot (heat soak thru intake)

Randall intake is nothing like that and wouldn't fit a RHD car...

Youd have to think that every drop of water that fell on the bonnet would end up in that cowl when driving in the wet...

Might save on water injection though... :D

Either way, you could argue that the massive surface area of the windscreen will override the small cowl intake, which by the picture seems to seperate the intake air from the rest of the gutter under the windsheild...

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Looks more restrictive than the Mania-style intakes, and probably more exxy too :|
