OEM location silicone inlets vs relocated inlets?

Would I see any benefits in going from my aftermarket silicone stock location inlets to the ARM relocated inlets? I've heard pros and cons on the relocated inlets....what's everyone's opinion on them? I saw that ARM is having a black Friday sale...that's why I was asking.

Seems to me like they would be sucking in more hot air since the filters are right by the exhaust manifold, but maybe not??

It adds couple more HP when you tune it … Inlets gives the turbo better airflow

I already have inlets, a custom tune, and bigger turbos....just wondering if going to relocated inlets add anything over the standard silicone inlets.

I heard if you want big power go with relocation inlets, but you have to move the coolant expansion tank and move power steering tank also. I am worried about mine not fitting with the Tial BOV.

I got the 335d coolant tank. It bolts right up to the driver side. I also got the BMS 335d charge pipe that's made to clear the 335d coolant tank. I kept the power steering reservoir at the same location by making a custom L bracket with a piece of 1" aluminum metal that's bendable.

Where did you put the vacuum canisters, after you relocated them? Or did you delete them?

Deleted. Installed made no difference. Deleted and verified it made no difference.
