Air Intake System - Cant Decide
« on: July 25, 2010, 04:47:36 pm »
Ive seen a few different intake systems and cant decide which on to go for, whats peoples opinions on whats out there?

Ive currently got a carbonio into the std engine cover, moving forward id like to loose the engine cover for air intake and replace that with some pipe work but rather than the forge/KN etc filter id like the cold air pipe to go into something like the carbonio style box. Is there anything out that to provide that?



Ive seen the AWE CCB but there is little if any feedback on their system in terms of performance.

 :happy2:

I believe the dbilas intake does what your looking for. Vtec Abuser was running one at the rolling road day on Saturday which was a full induction pipe etc but going to a mounting point behind the grill like the OEM one. Maybe PM him for a few photos?

that was my original choice mate but it looks a bit busy with the twin filters and every pic ive seen it never seems to sit straight.

My long term goal is to smooth the bay and id rather try and keep the filter option as uncluttered as possible, that carbon pipe work looks bang on, doubt id get it before e38 tho

Neatest option for a MK5 with a smoothed bay would be a Neuspeed P-FLO with the race extension, That way all you have in the bay is the pipework.
