RE: H3 Hummer Performance Intakes Systems
I appreciated the explanation of John Concialdi. Really inciteful.
While being a member here I've never come across a thread as contentious as this one.
Doc Olds is to be commended for getting off his butt and creating a product to benefit vehicle enthusiasts. But Doc...don't take criticisms so personally. I'm sure your product quality speaks for itself and will stand the test of time and find great acceptance...and hopefully make you wealthier.
There is Pepsi and Coke a Cola both with market shares. Now we have K&N and DocIntakes....different tastes for those who like plastic, aluminum or steel.

RE: H3 Hummer Performance Intakes Systems
id like to make a quick comment here.
this section is a sponsored section by AirDocIntakes.com. The purpose of this section is for information about the products offered by AirDocIntakes.com. While a debate over what materials would best work for the intake is a never-ending, and very valid debate, I ask that if you dont like the AirDoc Intakes, you discuss it in a different section. not everyone is going to like every product, but in this case, a moderator who crafted a product is trying to get their name out there, so this isnt the place for a debate over the physics of the product.
If anyone would care to discuss my comments further, feel free to PM me.

RE: H3 Hummer Performance Intakes Systems
Hey GRS: First, welcome to the forums.
Next month I hope to have an Alpha at the shop to begin prototyping a system. I have made a design, but practical considerations must be worked out, and testing in the real world needs to be done.
However, the weakest link in the stock system is theOEM filter itself, I am looking into having a filter made as we speak, but I do not make them....wouldn't even know how to try. If feasible, I will purchase a minimal production run of filters and begin marketing the Alpha kit with a filter made to my specifications, and share with all who the manufacturer of the filter is, and their data on filter construction.
If contracting a filter is not reasonable, I would not feel comfortable selling just an intake system with no aftermarket high flow filter available to allow the sytem to breath like it is intended. This is a similar dilemma with the 08 H3, no filter available yet.
All I can suggest is that all of us that are interested email our favorite filter makers (I have emailed K&N probably more times than they would prefer
) and let them know you/we are willing to buy ASAP![sm=goodidea.gif]
Almost forgot, anybody who is interested in being notified by email when the AirDocIntake 08 Alpha, and/or 08 H3 are available for purchase, feel free to request same by sending me an email through the web site, or to this the address: [align=center]info@airdocintakes.com [/align][align=center][/align]

RE: H3 Hummer Performance Intakes Systems
I had a post a while back about a new dry high-performance air filter similar to K&N but without the oil. They had commercials for them during the NHRA races every weekend. I'm going to try to find that post. They were apparently comparible to K&N but cheaper and without the messy re-oiling process. That may be an option for you.
