Talking DCI Airflow Adjustment Tweek

Stupid/Useless idea maybe but found a way to redirect the air thingy to push the air over/into the DCI rather than off to the left ..

Also may help keep water off the altenator should the scoops push any in .. Anyone ever have a problem with that by the way?

Thoughts ?

I was actually attempting the same thing. It definitely is an excellent idea and cant hurt. By far the best $95 I have ever spent and the sound is amazing!!

I used a 328i air duct for my injen intake. Try that. Direct fit

yea, injen was my second choice, only thing about their duct is that it only connects to one of the air pathways.. not sure why they didn't design it to take advantage of both ??

used a modified picture frame hook to hook into the small clasp opening.. put a small screw in the stronger plastic on the back side.. a length of heavy guage black wire looped between the hook & screw.. kinda macgyver'd it, but it works
