Anyone know if these will work for stage 2+ turbos kits?
edit: never mind just found out it wont work with Stage2+ kits, Hexon will start making some that will in March

That's two inlet product announcements in one day lol....I still prefer the single piece full silicone options...easy to install and less prone to leaking

neroneuman · 01-19-2016, 05:52 PM

Looking at the size, they should flow better than other 3 stock location inlets. I think they are comparable to the passenger side inlets except for their intake tract length/location.

Can't wait for the inlet war threads or have they already started? LOL

Great news, more competition = better pricing

Because their site states you have one option and also another option, turbo dependent.. It's not rocket science lol..

Like your thought....but remember these don't create pressure. Air just gets pulled through these. So the likelihood of a leak is minimal. Being a couple of pieces should help ease the install.

Anyone installed the inlets bc I'm having a hard time with the front inlet. It's install but the fan won't go back in. It's not enough clearance

puppydax · 05-04-2016, 06:54 PM

I have Hexon inlets installed. There's literally almost no clearance between the front inlet pipe and to get the fan back in. You literally just have to flex it slightly. I like the hard pipe design, it looks great and is sturdy! Also, surprisingly the rear inlet wasn't a pain to install with 2 people. Granted I didn't do much, but still :P.

A friend of mines just got his installed today and he had to bend a bracket on the front inlet pipe to get the fan back in. What did you do with the sensor that connects to the rear inlet pipe? it isn't throwing a code so i guess its not needed?

Yeah, luckily I didn't have to bend it, I just had to carefully wiggle the fan back in. As far as the sensor, I just tucked it away. Doesn't throw a code or a shadow code, so doesn't bother me one bit lol.
