They look good! I didn't think MMP was still in business.. obviously I was wrong.

Yeah they ain't bad, but unfortunately the rear does not fit well. They want the coolant line going to the turbo to be bent, but I'm not really down to do that. I ended up ordering Precision Raceworks relocated silicones and most likely will be selling this MMP. As much as I wanted the aluminum pipes...VRSF was back ordered. It's probably best to install the MMP with the engine out.

Thanks for that update, I'm not down with bending coolant pipes, either. Guess I'll remove them as an option. That pretty much leaves the PR and ARM.

My PR inlets are coming on Thursday. I'm pretty sure they'll fit without bending shit around haha. I like PR products, but I will keep you in the loop.

The PR inlets fit spot on. I did not have any issues. The front has a slightly shorter clearance, but once you push it on the snout just have someone else tighten down the clamp. The rear just use some dish washing soap and feed it from the top the best you can and the rest just pull it from the bottom of the car.

Now that you've had them for a few weeks, what are your thoughts?

The spool and turbo response is way better compared to the oem side vrsf inlets i had. It sounds great too. Definitely worth the upgrade.

I agree with this. I reached out regarding their upgraded twins because I had questions before purchasing and I couldn’t get ahold of anyone, so RB turbo for the win

So I recently ran into some issues with the VRSF relocated inlets. Luckily I was feeling around in the engine bay and felt the burn marks on the Inlets from them laying on the hot side. Yes, poor installation very well may be the issue. However now I’m stuck on purchasing another set of inlets. I think I have my finger on the MMP aluminum relocated inlets..or, I may just get the RB inlets and go bsck to the oem location. I would hate to swap back since I’ve came this far, mainly just wanna purchase a good quality inlet and have take 2 with this process of a headache lol

I had those. His are very high quality and worth the price. Best driver's side inlets on the market.

Just recently had them installed. I was a little bummed out they didn’t come with filters so I had to put my old crusty ones back on. Currently ordering new ones, However fitment was great, he did mentioned when I purchased them that with my CSF radiator installed it may be hard for the front inlet however my mechanic said he has no issues (hardest part was the rear)

Sorry to resume this old thread but has anyone had experience with MMP relocated inlets and the related interference with the coolant line? Thanks
