Good choice. An ITG would be my choice. Simple and effective. And looks good.
....I'm not sure that you'd like the noise.
Just to clear a few things up.
I am not in the market for an intake, but then this thread was not started by me, it was asking for preferences, and I feel I have an informed opinion.
I have given my preference, it is head and shoulders ITG, I like simple and effective, the ITG fits the bill, made by a Air filter specialist, and this fact has been shown to be beneficial by the numbers achieved.
As for the sound, I hated the vibrations given off by the BSH mounts, I felt they detracted from MY, and I repeat MY enjoyment of the car (I am presuming I am allowed not to like something here..........). The Much feted Grrrr sound is in fact vibration feedback through the car, and if you like it, then great. I didn't, I am sure I will get over it, oh look I have!
So to say I would not like the sound, is just your guess, you had not asked me about my opinion. The OP asked my opinion, and I gave it, based on my Aerodynamic experience (studied as part of another course for 4 years), based on my engineering fabrication experience (28 years including 2 apprenticeships, one as a toolmaker/boilermaker (precision Welding and fabrication)and one as a Aerospace Engineer) , based on my looking into How to's, speaking with people with various filters, and making MY mind up. But you can still have your guess.
However the forge is very well made, the fabrication is
very well done. T
he welds are a thing of beauty, if only other manufacturers gave such attention to detail to their welding (
), I do not want to go any further into that debate, said all I want to say and have to ask you to just read the forum. Just I think the Forge is too complex, with the 2 intakes, and the 90 degree bend on the lower intake, which then runs onto the 90 degree convergence of the 2 airflows, just not to my liking. I am sure some will love it though.
Right, before I get flamed, this is just my opinion, after all that is what the OP was asking for. I am not tied to any company, nor am I looking to blow sunshine up the aris of any company. Open and honest opinions.
