Should INTENSE offer 3.0" FWI Tubing?
 

As the title suggests...

honestly the pontetial customer base is so small, would you really want bother?

Hard to say, hence the post.

Tubing doesn't take much overhead to stock. And while the general public may not be aware, I've had alot of offline requests for help locating suitable tubing for the 92/93 SSEi's and 92-94 L27's.

It won't move as fast as the S2, but my gut tells me it'll sell. Make sure there's a disclaimer on the page noting the need for a 3" flange on the filter. And you'll need to sell the aluminum sleeves for both ends also Todd. I can give you the dimensions of the TB's if you want to throw a reducer at it.

I'd be curious to see you buy just enough materials for 5 FWI's and see how long they take to move.

Edit.....those converting from a CAI can cut sleeves off their old rice-pipes. Or simply buy short 3" sections from an exhaust shop.

I would definitely want one =)

Vince, you need their traditional 3.5".

The 94/95 L67 is the same size TB as the S2 L67 (actually slightly larger).

Here's the fitment:

That I may be interested in for the 91 LE and for the Other L27 Powered Pontiac

Thanks. Didnt know that.

So whats the problem with FWI on the 95's?

I think you should, you would be increasing your target market, you would be appealing to everyone else.

do it.

I recommend against it.

I believe it to be a small market with a 1 time purchase.

I am so up for it. I think you would yield great sales, as many GM cars have 3" throttle bodies, along with many other cars.

I believe if you guys can get a good deal on it, that you should just purchase 100' from your dealer, and sell that. When it finally all sells (if it does), then decide if the demand was great enough to continue to carry it.

I think 100' would be just enough to keep the few that need it, happy.

I see it this way:
That is one of the first upgrade a lot of us do to our cars. & when you say: "no we dont have it" to a first time costumer, you will probably loose him right there. So even if is not profitable, it might still be a good idea.

I would be interested 8)

I'd be interested.

Maybe try a buy-in to get a feel for what the demand is???

Not a bad idea at all. A group buy.

But make it a ready to install kit like the 97 kit. Just keep in mind the SSE's and SSEi's will need to go to the wrecker and get the half-size washer reservior without the headlamp washer section.

I'll help out with the canister relocate. From there, it's cake. Easier than a CAI and heatshield.

After hearing that I would probabally be in too. ;)

as would i.

(well, duhh, my questioning got this ball rolling)

id be in for one!

Guys, you really need to pay attention to what's under your hood. YOU need a 3.5" off the shelf. Click on the link and see the TB diameters I posted on the previous page. The 3.5" FWI from INTENSE is a direct swap to the L36. We're talking about 3" tubing ONLY FOR THE 92-93 L67 and 92-94 L27.

talk about putting a guy down :( lol well i was hopping it would be slightly cheaper if it came along oh wells

Not jumping your shit. But there's alot of confusion in this topic. You're not the first to jump on this, and I understand. An INTENSE FWI is a good thing to jump on. The good news is that they always had you covered. ;)

In retrospect, I probably wouldve ordered 3 inch tubing and based my intake around that instead of 3.5 inch. I dont think id ever outflow it, and 3 inch tubing might actually fit directly onto the TB as opposed to the setup I have now. The 3.5 inch tubing wouldnt come close to fittin my TB, its pretty small. About as small as the number of folks who would want a FWI for their Intrigue, maybe enough to use two hands.

yes good news for me lol now i just need the money or an arm and leg then a damn bracket lol

So.. 3" tubing with some sort of adapter wouldn't be better than 3.5" tubing for an L36 with his mods?

L36's across the board seem to respond well to this as a first mod.

The TB is larger to begin with, so you don't have the transition the smaller TB would. The L36 also has lighter internal parts, so it rev's quicker, and to a higher rpm. That means it breathes more at the top end.

INTAKE TUBING SIZE

92-94 L27: 3" -Tubing
92-93 L67: 3" -Tubing
95-05 L36: 3.5" -Tubing
94-95 L67: 3.5" -Tubing
96-03 L67: 3.5" -Tubing

Yes, Yes!
Count me in for one. If we get enough interest, a group by might be the way to go.
We can use our RX4750, right?

Can we get some pricing together on a kit? OOH! I can imagine the INTENSE decal on my back window already!

Lol.
I guess the days of stressing the ADTR test are over.

That's been covered enough, and is already well-documented.

Ultimately, that's why this topic was created, Mike.

Personaly I'd order it if it was the same as the 3.5 stuff... I have some stuff I reserched out and bought that cost a few hundered (after being way over charged for shipping) and the stuff enfed up being a bit stiffer then I'd like... I still havent atemped to install it yet :?

id be potentially interested for my blazer, ive been considering the fitment and i think i may be able to make it work, id have to do some measuring but i think i could pull it off :D

I've added 3" INTENSE™ Custom Air Intake Tubing to our website based on the poll results here. I figured it can't hurt us to carry some and for those of you want it you can now get it :)

8) sweet!!!!

i'll order some time between now and when the car comes out of storage.


whats the word on the rockers? ;)
