I was researching intakes for my SE, and I talked to Jerry @ PRM ...they're up in canada. He says PRMs "Jet Stream" intake is "the best in the market". They currently sell kits for the 2.5 L Probe GT (you can check the intake kits out at www.prmracing.com) ...but he expressed interest when I told him I had a 2.0L I-4 Probe - he says he recently designed and tested PRM intakes for the I-4 , and as of a few months back, now sells them. They look like the 2.5 kits, but with different connection design (for the MAF sensor) and a slightly longer filter to an aluminum "cold air" downpipe that sits right above the splashguard. I want to know - does that aluminum downpipe heat up the air if it gets hot , and also, does anyone own or knows someone who owns a PRM Jet Stream intake?? Anyone who knows more info about this intake, knows people who have used it, or has thoughts about the way it works (jet stream ?) Speak Now!!! Jerry says the full kit for the 2.0L Probe is $199.00, and $10.00 shipping, FYI - Sergio 93 Probe SE 5spd. >

Sergio, That still sounds a bit too pricey for an aluminum intake tube, a cone filter, some rubber couplers, and hose clamps. Also, aluminum has a pretty high thermal conductivity. If that aluminum downpipe is anywhere near the hot engine block it WILL heat up the incoming cool air passing thru the pipe. Even those proven HotShots that the 2.5L guys use is a chromed metal tube that also conducts heat a bit too well. I'd like to stay with the plastic intake tubes if I can...like maybe Akimoto. I wonder if anybody yet has made an intake pipe of the same phenolic clay and resin materials that the spacers were made from. That would make an awesome intake pipe. However it might be that I'm a bit to overtly and needlessly concernened with the downpipe material. I have seen on Brian Young's website his tests of the HotShot tube using a thermocoupler and he has shown that the intake charge is now much cooler than the stock intake. -Lino Sacman, SCPOC '93 Rio-Red PSE, 5-spd

what r these spacers that you talk about?
