Matched inlets

[Leemitch-91]

I've heard people having matched inlets, how is this done and what are the benefits from it?

 

[MarcB]

I would also like to know what the benefits are on a standard car if any.

 

[imprezaworks]

Small if any

 

[DaveDreads]

None whatsoever, I spent £170 having mine done for absolutely zero benefit.

Should have spent it on drugs and hookers,
at least i've have some memories to show for it.

I read a thread on clio trophy forum and a guy on there claimed he gained a few bhp and more torque.

Surely there must be a few bhp and torque to gain from doing it, all I hear on here is how restrictive the standard inlet is.

I think its worth doing

 

[yeecup]

Helps, but u won't notice a couple of bhp

 

[Chip-mk1]

A rolling road WILL notice the difference, couple of bhp or so.

To put that in context for your power to weight though, thats the same as the difference between half a tank of fuel or a full tank.

Really

 

[Kyle 86]

Really

Yeah defo. The inlets are so restricted. I found it to have better mid range

 

[imprezaworks]

Cost/illusion

Me too.

I have a set of angel works matched inlets and PMS lightweight AC kit and the car feels quicker.

Best thing to do is wait for some matched inlets to come up for sale on here for £120,
then sell your standard inlets for £60 in the for sale section,
Bob's your monkey, matched inlets for £60 quid.

 

[Adamm.]

I have some.

Didn't buy them though lol, they were already on the car .

60 quid for a standard inlet? No chance!

Les has had a set of RS stamped ones (best from the factory) up for about 40 for a couple of months and they havent sold yet, lol.

 

[DaveDreads]

Holy sh*t, people must be skint! lol

 

[Saul]

I'm pretty surprised more people don't have a go themselves haha!

 

[car.crash]

My car went faster when I matched my socks.
