Fancy New Intake Filters
not really lol BUT not Autozone filters!
It was time to change my BMS DCIs, they were dented up and just extremely filthy and I didn't feel like trying to clean them. Found these filters for $55 shipped, HOWEVER, silly me didn't measure the BMS filter which ended up being 2.25" and ended up ordering 2.5". Sooooo, instead of admitting defeat and eating the 30% restocking fee, I went to Home Depot and found a rubber 2" plumming insert. Figured it was worth a try before giving up and sending them back. Ended up being an awesome fit; fit snugly over the BMS PVC neck and snugly inside of my filter neck. Reused the clamp from the BMS filter to secure the plumming neck. Car noticeably spools up faster, shows you how dirty my old ones were! |

With these open cones filter, I heard you are sucking in the hot air from the engine bay, which in turn, actually reduce your car's performance. The only change you'll get out of it is louder sound, and that you want to use sealed cold air for any possible performance gain, if any at all. Is this true?

But you're getting a LOT more air. Even if it is warm air.
