Is there anyone out there that makes a smaller air intake tube for the kenne bell?

CAn I ask you why you want a smaller one? I just got my kit and I am curious.

My L99 had a trailer hitching problem at cruzing so i got a tune from ted.
He has fixed the trailer hitching problem and now i surges at low speed and idle is up and down.
He tells me it needs a 4 inch tube to cure it.

If you want to keep the warranty I wouldn't change the inlet tube. Plus the tube is not the issue, its the tune.

Matt. I have your tune!
Do you have a different tune that won't trailer hitch at crusing speed?

Matt@KB · 06-07-2011, 10:00 AM

PM me your name so I can look up your profile. You said you had "ted" custom tune your car?

VictorySS · 06-07-2011, 12:44 PM

I would never use a mail order tune a SC car imo

rjs · 06-09-2011, 07:46 PM

no issues here with the intake tube.

Rcfiddy1 · 07-07-2011, 09:18 AM

What was outcome with this????? I am at my tuner now and we are running into a small issue at random moments which he believes to be coming from too big of a tube and MAF position.......:(

Here is My Take on the Intake tube, No Flaming Please.

Although it is GREAT for the BIG Peak HP number Driveability suffers due to lost resolution.

The Gen5 MAF has a Range of 16000 Hz, Even some of our KILLER builds only Reach 14500 Hz so we have Plenty of MAF in a 4 in pipe.

Stock Cars with no Supercharger will go to 9000 Hz

With the 4.5 inch KB pipe at 10 psi boost we Rarely see more than 9000 Hz

Going to a 4 inch intake tube restores resolution, and torque calculations done by the TCM, so this is especially important on the L99 Cars.

Also a Stock Car will Idle around 2500 Hz the KB with 4.5 in Pipe will Idle around 1500 Hz, so Again Lost Resolution.

Ted.

Thanx Ted. So in the end a 4in tube with a MAF sensor in the correct position should cure this for us L99 lower hp cars? This is what my tuner recommends.

I sent my tunner back to KB and i am still waiting for it to return.
Hopping to get a good tune from them or some kind of compensation in the meen time i bought anouther tunner from EFI live and hade john at APF tune my car he sent me a tune that is spot on!!

Rcfiddy1 · 07-07-2011, 12:01 PM

So you didn't go smaller intake? I ask because My tuner also uses EFI and said the car 95% perfect but gets that weird freq loss in the intake and suggests a smaller tube.

honeybucket99 · 07-07-2011, 12:01 PM

yeah, John knows his shit. Anyone around ATL should visit APF
