Default Intake diameter

Just curious as to which brand intake has the largest diameter. I know AEM is pretty small and K&N is even smaller. But i havnt seen many others. And im talking bout the whole intake. Not just a part of it like the V2

bigger is not necessarily better.

the manufacturers make their intakes certain sizes based on engineering, or research & development if you will.

AEM is 2.5", which is the same size as a 63.5mm throttle body. There is no reason to go any bigger than that.

I agree. As is the case with exhaust pipes, bigger than a certain diameter can even make things worse.
