So an exhaust X-port is designed to reduce an dissipate heat from the cylinder. It effectivly lowers cylinder and exhaust tube temps via heat soak and dissipates that heat through its heat seek fins. It also allows allows for a longer header length. So my question is has anyone ever tried it on the intake side? The intake tube is made of aluminum also which seems to me just a likely to become heat soaked. That soak would cause the incoming charge to heat up much more than its natural ambient temp. Most of us know that colder air is filled with more oxagen allowing a better running motor. So could it lower intake tube temps and charge temps? Does this seem plausable? By adding the extra 1inch to the intake tube length seems like it would also give you better lowend power. So could it be a win/win situation? Well were all about to find out cause I got an extra Xport and it is port matched with 40mm spacing. Doesnt hurt to try. Gonna document my findings with a laser temp reader on a fully warm motor at idle. With and without the x port. Also gonna video the ride and speed with and without. Feel free to speak your thoughts on this subject. As im always trying to find ways to make these motors run better.
