Dinan finally releases CAI for 335/135

cn555ic · 12-07-2009, 03:08 PM

Damn that looks FANTASTIC...really done up nicely for sure, too bad the price is so expensive.

XPO186 · 12-07-2009, 03:09 PM

Looks damn good and overpriced... Almost GruppeM overpriced.

I'd like to take a peek into that airbox and at the end of the snorkel section though.

cn555ic · 12-07-2009, 03:33 PM

+1 I would like to see where the extended part out to the fender side leads to....wondering if it goes all the way down like the UR or stett

Addicted2Boost · 12-07-2009, 03:37 PM

wow, it does look good. but way to pricey

turbologist · 12-07-2009, 03:52 PM

Wow a grand for an intake?! I would love to meet the clown that buys one of these...

You know, that's really not as bad as it seems - Dinan's pretty good about hp figures and guys have spent more on exhaust systems that probably don't deliver any more power. I have doubts if many of the DCI systems generate more than a few hp which would price them about the same $$/hp. But, yeah $1K...

Wow. you sound very sophisticated.
lol..calling Dinan idiots. You need a mirror buddy.

ho_grayson · 12-07-2009, 04:37 PM

totally pricy!!! they should consider non cf version and sales will be good!

blisstik · 12-07-2009, 04:46 PM

I'd pay $400 at the most for a non-CF version.

who's ur daddy? · 12-07-2009, 04:51 PM

LOL, I've always felt that Dinan's pricing was expensive-then-add-another-kick-in-the-guts-expensive. But hey, at least they are consistent!!!

Looks real purdy though...

Syndicategt · 12-07-2009, 05:25 PM

Looks like you wont be able to use your aftermarket charge pipes, bovs, and dvs either.

You clearly have NO idea what an injection mold costs to make. It's cheaper for them to manufacture the airbox out of carbon, considering the amount of units they will sell.

After a dyno/IAT graph, I'm in...its 1k CHEAPER than the Gruppe M haha.

335iBaller · 12-07-2009, 05:43 PM

wait for me to get it and I will post a review

Car Enthusiast · 12-07-2009, 06:16 PM

Looks nice, but comes off as just another wayyy overpriced Dinan product. Good luck to those with enough cash not to care how much mods cost, but I suspect the volume of sales will be very, very low.

stimpy · 12-07-2009, 06:22 PM

Hahahahahaha.. $1000.00.. Hahahahaha

M4TW · 12-07-2009, 06:35 PM

I agree with everyone else - at that price only a complete idiot would buy it.

That's why I'm ordering it tomorrow.

E92murdered · 12-07-2009, 06:41 PM

lol right a review

SteveMD · 12-07-2009, 07:02 PM

$1000?

Crikey!

I'll take Terry's DCI - same HP increase, and about $875 change in my pocket.

Jonny550 · 12-07-2009, 07:06 PM

this thing is sweet

There is no convincing people, price point is everything. Personally, I wouldn't put a hot air intake on my car.

MrChessy · 12-07-2009, 07:09 PM

The economy is not doing too well and someone forking out $1k for just an intake is just insane.
