This intake works great lots of top end. I installed one on my 2011 ss camaro with ls3 conversion and cam. Made 450 rwhp and 410 torque peaked at 6600 rpms when we maxed out stock injectors. Ordered bigger injectors and will be retuning soon. U can see video of car with intake on my page.
Amazing work! I was wondering what that yellow bottle spray was right before you lay up the first cf layer? Is it some sort of a liquid glue to help with the layup? If so, could you please share more info on that?
Man that’s sick. Aren’t you guys in the South Bay Area....Cambell? I reached out a couple years back but production was at a stand still. Glad to see you guys manufacturing once again.
How close are intake orders made in early November through LPE ready for shipping? Also curious if anything can be used on the CF to increase the gloss in it's appearance?
Thank you. We have developed an in-house process which allows us to get the desired finish and product weight using infusion, without the need to use an autoclave.
How can I get you guys to make me some carbon fiber intake tubes coming from throttle body down to the front of the radiator on a 2006 Mercedes Benz SL55 ?!? 😅
@@PerformanceDesignLLC I have a couple of questions about the process. Should I write here or maybe private? I'm a nerd from Sweden who mainly works with 4-cyl boosted engines for my pleasure. Not trying to steal any ideas but carbon is kind of a fetish that is hard to explain to the missus when a roll of twill shows up 😁
The reason I ask is because I want to build intake manifold with carbon fiber just like this and I also want to make intake custom pipes I have a vortec pro charger that can do up to 15 psi and wondered if it will hold up to those pressures how many layers would I have to use
depending on your layer thickness, the layer count will be different, And how you layer the CF will determine pressure cap, I would probably do 4 - 6 , and make sure that the weaves are at + or - 45 Degree, and go from there, that wouldn't include my cosmetic layer on top.
I've always wondered would a carbon fiber intake manifold like this hold up with a turbo how much psi can it withstand and how many layers was that was it literally just one layer
@@PerformanceDesignLLC badass thank you very much for getting back to me about that information. I will now feel more comfortable making my carbon fiber intake pipes. I'm going to make them three ply outer layer will be the carbon fiber the middle layer will be the structural thick fiber glass and the inside layer will be the smooth fiberglass it will be very rigid and I hope that's enough. do you have any suggestions on how I can improve.. I'm going to keep the pipes as short as possible and they will be about 3" in diameter
Thanks for the tutorial. I’m going to start on it tomorrow. LOL.
Beautiful work. I can imagine how much work and time went into just the CNC for the mold.
Yes, the molds are very expensive to make but they are very durable and produce consistent, reliable parts.
Some of the nicest auto parts I ve ever held/owned! Great work guys! Glad to see you going big.
Thank you so much!
Is there any dyno tests of it?
This was relay cool video ! thanks for sharing.

If I had to guess, it's a release agent.
Wow! That's amazing!
From what material are the runners? Great product.
This intake will clear the hood of 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlas with Lq4 engine?
Very nice almost like a Jewelry.
Man that’s sick. Aren’t you guys in the South Bay Area....Cambell? I reached out a couple years back but production was at a stand still. Glad to see you guys manufacturing once again.
No, we are located in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Is there a provision for throttle cable and bracket?
How close are intake orders made in early November through LPE ready for shipping? Also curious if anything can be used on the CF to increase the gloss in it's appearance?
That gasket looking thingy, what material is it? And is that there to prevent galvanic corrosion?
So you guys essentially made an autoclave out of the mold without the heat element ? I've never thought about that what psi do you take it up to?
There is heat involved as well. Typical is 100 psi or more of consolidation pressure on top of the vacuum. Depends on the part.
Now how about a TPI for my L98? That would be incredible!
So, when will the hemi version be available specifically for the 6.1?
This application isn't currently in development but we are monitoring interest for future product. Thank you.
Can you make one for a v6 Hyundai how much
Are fiber plenums suitable for turbo applications? How much PSI can they hold?
Yes! The Carbon pTR is rated at 50psi.
Why are you using infusion instead prepreg? Beautiful work!
Thank you. We have developed an in-house process which allows us to get the desired finish and product weight using infusion, without the need to use an autoclave.
But there is plenty of prepreg systems that do not require autoclave.
Overall bad ass

Do you make these for an LS7
Will it work well for road course racing??
Yes, you will find it on Jake Rozelle's C5 Corvette in the Optima Series.
Hey hopefully you guys can answer me will this intake fit Under the hood of a camaro 2015 ss ?
Beautiful!
Thank you!

@@IngeBall you are welcome to email our info@performancedesign.com address.
Will this fit under hood of truck or suv?
It may fit under the hood of some trucks and SUVs without modification. Check out our website for the layout drawing to check your vehicle.

This particular intake, the Carbon pTR is rated at 50psi although we've tested it well beyond that.

Please make one for the 5.0 Coyote
Can you make one for a 2021 C8
We just released it yesterday! th-cam.com/video/6mEKx27gVEk/w-d-xo.html
@@PerformanceDesignLLC is it in stock, if not what is the lead time if ordered
Can u make it for EA113 ?
Neat !
Not a single mention of how much boost (pressure) it can handle or is rated for, or even if it's been pressure tested at all!
The pTR intake is rated at 50psi although we've tested it well beyond that.
@@PerformanceDesignLLC Excellent, well beyond any daily limit! Maybe a HP version next? 120psi plus, plenty of safety left in it?!
