Mina Gallery intake kit
#81
I haven't been on here in a couple months and come back to check in on an air intake and find this! Lucky timing.
So Unhinged what air filters are you running? I looked over all the post and didn't see anything about that.
Also are you getting Stuart to adjust your tune?

Lance (and anyone else who has fitted the Mina intake kit to a V6).
Can you report back on any noise changes - SC whine, intake roar, exhaust note etc etc.
Also any change to power/torque/performance although I understand there is either none or so little as to be undetectable.
I'm still tossing up whether to get one of these kits but if they are purely for appearance/aesthetics then maybe not.

1. Even if it adds a few horses, at 450hp you won’t notice it, and too expensive to put on the dyno to prove something you can’t feel.
2. Only the plastic cross tubing and down-elbows are replaced (with polished aluminum). The filter boxes and the mufflers just above the boxes are left in place, so there is no increase in whine or intake roar that I can detect. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. The sound from the VAP exhaust under full throttle would drown out the sound of a jet engine.
I would like to replace the intake mufflers with straight pipe. I am certain that would produce the desired sound.

I like your solution alot.
Did you weld any tabs on to support the tubes (I cant see any weld/witness marks) as on the OEM setup? - reason I ask is that I use cone filters after the MAF and need a system that is supported up top as in the OEM design. Mina at present doesn't support its' tubing system at all, and relies as I think you have, on the lower brackets and MAF supports into the OEM airboxes to keep it all rigid.

Reviving an old thread as opposed to starting a new one... wondering if the Mina Gallery Upper Intake Kit could be combined with the YW MotorSports Lower Intake Kit (https://www.ywmotorsports.com/produc...-lower-intake) to effectively make a full intake set-up at around $575? Seems less cost prohibitive than the competitors but not sure if it's feasible.

I will post info when I get it installed.
Also...Thanks UNHINGD for all of the pictures and Install tips! That will be helpful to have when it gets here.
