Great question. I wonder is the filters rub against anything with no brackets

None of the current inlet options have brackets. The filters don't rub and are supported without a problem.

I'm pretty sure those brackets are for relocating the PS and coolant reservoirs not to actually support the filters. VRSF kit that I installed a year ago came with similar brackets. Brackets for the filters aren't needed IMO. Mine feel very well secured and have no issues.

Those brackets aren't for the filters. We include the same components in our kits as well.

I've got my eye on a set of these OEM location inlets. Will my current Injen DCI still fit?

I have these OEM inlets and they rock, ran them with DCI and about to switch over back to the stock intake. So happy I can use the OEM airbox. People don't understand that it keeps the temps down so well if you're driving the car hard in the heat. I couldn't imagine having no choice with relocated inlets. The flexibility of this product can't be beat. Solid product VRSF!

Your chargepipe is an entirely different component. You can keep whatever chargepipe you're currently using

Are you referring to the relocated inlets or the OEM location units? Shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to help

We have a metal chargepipe already available. Silicone/plastic is always going to beat steel/aluminum in terms of inlets.

The relocated inlets with our new brackets will be $269.99. This will be the only available inlet kit that doesn't require the relocation of the power steering reservoir and will work with EVERY CP.

We will offer a combo discount with inlets/outlets as well once those are available. The combo discount for the outlets will be retroactive, so anyone who's purchased our inlets in the past will qualify

You can pre-order on our website or with your preferred vendor:

By relocating the inlets will i gain any extra hp or no? Also witch set up is easier to do?

The relocated inlets will make a bit more HP on a maxed out FBO setup but the OEM inlets are by far the easiest to install.
