I like this Western MS Intake
At least the concept of it. Can anyone tell me if it works well?

I have read some very positive reviews of it, the concept is excellent. The key to it is to purchase the box that makes it more of a ram air setup by seperating it from the engine compartment.

looks to be very efficient; huge surface/intake area and a no curving bendy pipe. IMO it should work much better, but again, id have to see dyno results on how it compares to like the JLT with a tune. the dyno don't lie.

My question is, would this work as a replacement for the air dam so it would be more appealing at car shows?
I think the air dam that comes with it is deeper at the back to allow more room for the filter.

5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine tested this intake, along with many others, some time ago.
At the time of their test it came out near the bottom. They found the "fit and finish" and "ease of installation" to be poor, and the HP gain was nothing special--it was in the middle of the pack. The JLT, C&L, and a few others came out on top.

I'm going to be buying one of these systems very soon and discarding the C&L True Flow. The reason being that I need colder air entering the intake. The idea is terrific. A staight shot of air directly into the intake is way better than air having to turn before it gets to the intake. I'll be having conversations with WMR before the purchase. If you look at the Chrysler Viper and Corvette they already use a version of the WMR.
I'm still trying to figure out how any air is to get to the WMR intake with the stock hood closed. I'm having a hard time visualizing this.
The real issue here is getting rid of the air entering under the hood. The engine compartment is acting like a parachute. No way to have the air exhaust from under the hood. Unless you want to buy a new hood (not).
I have been looking at removing a small portion of the rubber seal in the middle of the hood, looks like about 10" to see if that helps. It getts hotter than hell under the hood.
Oh yeah, with the WMR system putting a car on a dyno is a waste of time. The car has to be moving to net results.
Sure would like some more info from the forum on others ideas on venting air coming in and leaving the under hood area.
