F430 carbon air intake - Novitec or Fabspeed?

Carbon fiber won't increase engine's HP............

 

That picture is of the Novitec 1 piece optimized carbon intake system. It looks amazing in person its includes in all the novitec supercharger kits, by itself $4990.

We can do the novitec airboxes (1week eta) for $2090 if you want the fabspeed airboxes $1495 I have them instock ready to ship. The nice thing is the novitec includes the novitec air filters.

Also lets not forget the Carbonio Scuderia option that is out there:

$1490 which INCLUDES filters and free shipping

I had NR air box and worked very nice in my old 430,you can hear the throttle bodys when they open..

 

Put the Fabspeed on mine with the stock filters because the car is still under factory warranty. And the boxes will not increase HP, no matter what the manufacturer claims.

 

Has anybody heard of RTM technology (Resin Transfer Moulding)? Seems to be as light as Carbon but must cheaper to produce. Are there any production part available on the market as an alternative to the expensive Carbon Air Boxes with which the color risks to fade to yellow with the engine heat?

RTM has its place but its costs are very high. Lay up labor is less but the tooling is expensive compared to traditional autoclave tools (much less expensive than injection molding plastic). It is an emerging technology that is still way too expensive to use in these aftermarket applications. Bear in mind that the airbox quoted in the article retails for almost $12,000!

Cheaper...I think not.

 

i have all the novitec carbons on mine, it is absolutely the best quality carbons i ever seen, bar none. its costly but i think its the best.
i dont think they make much of a difference in HP alone, but with their exhaust and ECU, the engine spins much quicker than stock and sounds insane! haha!

my novitec :
