I believe it's designed that way to help reduce induction noise.


....Er!? Reduce noise? Don't most people who fit an aftermarket intake want a little more noise and not less?

It does look like it cost less than £150. If it works and its better than the rest then fair play but it doesnt look like a lot of thought went into it.

I doubt very much if it's significantly better than the rest but it may be equal to most.

Is the BSH pipework metal or plastic?

I have ran with the dbilas for some time now, it sounds like a slightly asthmatic darth vader. really impressed with the build quality.

Its metal Robin.

When you get it, check the condition of the inner piping as best you can as my pal in the US told me his was sprinkled with metal bits that hadn't been cleaned off. He got BSH to replace it!

its metal mate, made very well, piss easy to fit, makes a very nice noise on spool and full chat and the let off noise is nice enough not to be overly chavvy

Cheers for info  :drinking:

Metal is supposed to be far better for air intake pipework - Less problems.

Noisy but not chavvy is the perfect sound - Induction and not blow-off.
