Thread: Cold air induction systems - differences

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO CAI'S FROM ZZP:

ZZP 3800 cold air intake - $209.99
Model
Series II Series III * Out of Stock *

Writeup coming soon.


Includes:
Air box with lid
Intake duct rotates for different throttlebody setups
PCM tray
4" heat shielded tube
(3) hose clamps
K&N 4" inlet 9" cone filter (optional)



AND THE:

Wizaired Cold Air Induction System - $199.99
Model
Standard Series 3 (+ $20.00) Intercooled (+ $20.00) LS1, or N* throttlebody (+ $45.00) 3400 series (+ $20.00) Option 1
none selected Add 4 inch K&N filter (+ $44.00)

I'M LOOKING TO INSTALL ONE OF THE TWO AND I'M WANTING TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCES AND WHY ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER IF SO. OBVIOUSLY THE WIZAIRD COMES W/O AIR FILTER AND LOOKS A LITLE DIFFERENT. BUT ARE THERE BIG TECHNICALITIES BTWEEN THE DIFFERENCES?


PLEASE DON'T MIND THE CAPS, I KEEP EM THAT WAY BECAUSE OF HOW I TYPE THINGS AT WORK.

There is no difference. To buy one of these is strictly for cosmetic purposes, theres no gain over making one for $50 out of Home Depot parts.

Edit: The ZZP one looks to fit better than the Wizaired one I had.

Looks like the ZZP comes with a filter and the Wizaired is $44 extra for the filter.

Performance difference is nil.

I mind the caps a lot....

Its one keystroke to turn the caps lock off.

Replace your tubing, gut the stock box, throw a huge cone in it.

cheaper and better.

Thats dumb.

They kept the one part of the intake you're supposed to throw out.

Also why do they increase the costs by having a window so you can see?

Thats also another side that doesnt have the heat rejecting material on...

They really make these to be pretty....

I have a wiz aire myself. Nothing wrong with making your own, but i don't understand why you guys use pvc pipe. I don't know what else you can use, but that sh#% gets hot! Next time after a good drive pop the hood and put your hand on it.
