Hi, I'm Wade from Thoroughbred Diesel and today we're going to be showing you HSPs air
intake.
HSPs line of air intakes is where style and function come together for one bad-ass intake.
This thing is absolutely gorgeous.
I'm just going to be 100% honest with you.
One thing that HSP does super well is their powder coating process creates a finish on
all of their products.
It's really second to none.
Big thank you to the guys from HSP for sending us down this intake.
This is an intake kit for an LB7 Duramax.
This fits the 01 to 2004 model years with the LB7 engines.
We will be doing an install video on this, but we just wanted to give you a brief overview
of this intake very quickly.
There'll be a link in here somewhere for our installation video on this.
Now all of HSPs products come in a wealth of different color powder coat colors that
you can go with with them, so I'm not going to talk a whole lot about that.
I want to talk about some of the functionality from this kit.
This is four and a half inch mandrel bent intake tube.
What I like about these metal intakes, and especially the way that HSP is doing this,
they've done this all in one section so you don't have joints here.
The mandrel bending on this size too makes it really, really nice because you don't have
welds at the transitions or anything like that.
You've got a really clean, really seamless intake tube and another thing that they really
do a good job on their engineering process for the intake tube is getting it streamlined
from the air intake directly to the turbo.
The less transitions that you have in the air intake pipe, the better air flow that
you're going to get out of the air intake kit itself.
They have got very, very high quality intake boots that they do.
This is multilayered.
This is multilayer intake boots, so you're not going to have to worry about any of the
deterioration, rotting, basically falling apart there in their couplers that they use.
Very good quality T bolt clamps.
That's something that's a little bit mundane, but they use a good quality T bolt clamp so
you're not getting a piece of crap there that's going to strip out on you.
The box has been designed to deflect heat away from the air filter.
We all know that colder air is better air, so this air intake box for the LB7s is going
to pull from the outside fender and from the bottom.
So we're getting good cold air into the air intake filter and what the lid actually does,
the lid is going to block out the heat from the engine side.
The box itself is sealed on the sides that are closest to the engine, so it's doing a
very, very good job of radiating the heat again away from the air intake.
Now the cover on this air intake has got three bolts that hold it on.
I've got two of them in here because I wanted to be able to take this off and show you.
Got the HSP logo inside of here as well.
Really, really nice job on that.
That little insert right there, if you want to take that off and paint it for a different
color, you can rerivit that on there.
So that makes for a really nice unit.
So this lid will come off and give you access to your filter to be able to service it.
This is going to be a cleanable, oiled lifetime filter.
Very, very nice unit as well on this.
Again, a lifetime filter there.
The transition on this, again trying to be straightaway into the mouth of the turbo,
easy to service with the three bolts that come off of the lid.
Then you can get directly to your air intake filter to be able to service it and what not.
And talking about the finish again on it, I don't mean to harp on this, but this is
the gloss black powder coat kit and this thing is just a mirror.
It's just going to mirror finish on it.
Man, we had a really hard time, Adam and I when we were setting up lights on this kit
to be able to not have some of the shine on it.
So it was actually a little bit rough for us to be able to lay it out to where we weren't
having so much reflection on it.
But this thing is just absolutely gorgeous.
So again, if you're in the market for an air intake and you want to do something just a
little bit different, you want to have a high functioning air intake that's just going to
be an absolute masterpiece to look at.
Going to dress up you're under the hood, just dress up your underhood presence on the truck.
And just give some bling.
I'd definitely suggest HSP air intake.
We're going to give you a link in this video as well that's going to lead you to the cart
where you can purchase the HSP air intake.
