The noise is great , here it on the video of my dyno run on page 5.

And yes you can fit stock cover after some butchering

Do those metal intakes (like that HKS jobbie) not increase intake temperatures and ultimately reduce performance?

Just thought that putting a metal pipe on a red-hot engine is counter productive  :confused: or is it negligible ?


You can heat wrap anything.

Now, I have no hard evidence to say whether it works or not, it's just based on a theory - what I can tell you is I can kick hell out of the car on a 20 minute track session and the intake is still cold to the touch.

In terms of CAI benefit. I've had mine off and on twice and there's a noticable difference on the top end, I don't know if it adds BHP/torque, but it certainly allows the car to breathe better at the higher RPMs.

Note: custom made EVOMS bend/heat shield/airbox with hybrid 'S' wrapped in Mylar. Out of shot is a 50mm duct from fog grille to airbox.

^ Let us know if you find out.  I'd be interested to see as the BSH intake does look very good value.
