Which one of these intakes sounds the best and has proven HP gains?
I dont want my engine to look like crap with the BMS dci, so i was thinking of aFe or injen, unless there is some crazy benifits of it (other than price). Thx! ![]() |

Dinan if you have money!
Stock airbox + Mr.5 mod if you don't! The rest is junk.

True that. Check out my DIY for the custom Mr 5 style intake.

The bumper ??? In the end Jeff is right,choose one that suits your needs ..I think the m5 is a waste .All the fastest cars and best drag times is from the dci.It's proven and sounds great spoiling up. |

The AFE intake on my car complements my FBO capability.. and since there's really no evidence to quantify whether the **arguably** marginally higher IAT's are enough to negate the improvement in ease of airflow calling something junk is silly. Again, this is also not considering the improved cooling capabilites of an intercooled car, let alone an aftermarket intercooler and meth kits. Also, at all speeds, above traffic or dead motionless on a dyno there's air being directed into the engine bay. In my mind this diminishes the amount of time the car is sucking in hot air.. and the effects of this heated air is up for debate on our platform. I KNOW there is a difference in performance on my car when going from a stock box with drop in to a DCI with FBO's. I believe there are still gains with anything above stock boost levels. There are dyno's demonstrating gains.. their accuracy I cannot comment upon, but nonetheless. |

After that your just breathing in hot air. Those fastest guys all run meth making the difference negligible at that point. Without meth the best is one that breathes cold air With meth getting the most air is best albeit cooler air would be better. |
