"whale pennis intake" => I cant google that in work.
).gif ":)) :))")
unless you want a finger wagging from the boss!They suffer very bad from heat soak, I have one and I'm currently looking for a DC2 airbox to replace it.
Warmer air is less oxygenated(not as dense) resulting in less power!
Bit like an asthmatic trying to do a marathon!!

The mugen intake would be good but the "Whales *****" is not a great intake foe hp gains... It suffers from heat stroke as its using hot air from around the bay... You would be better for something with a cold air intake such as the mugen or other intakes that are similar.. A very effective and cheap intake would be the standard air box with a good filter and a good cold air feed set. Its cheap and will give you hp gains.. The "Whales *****" will sound good but gains will be small

x2 when i had standard airbox on my jordan,it was ok,no noise or cold air really!then put on a bmc intake with cold air feed and made a noticeable difference and gave it a really good induction noise

I've seen people make shields around the filter neck!
TBH I don't think it's going to do much!

I have a whale "tube" [lol] it's nice and works, [i changed it to the icebox and k&n carbon filter]...but does use intake air from under the bonnet, hot air. So if you are sitting in city traffic it will suffer from heat SOAK. [not heat stroke, lol] If you are on the track it should be fine to use.
A cold air intake, CAI is the best type of intake tho. you should consider a CAI instead.

Works fine if you feed it with cold air.
The whale ***** doesnt give the same response as the STD setup, but does give a bit of gain up top, and not forgetting the sound.

It's a matter of fact, an intake that takes it's air from an engine bay will take warmer less oxygenated air as opposed to a airbox with a cold air feed!
