MSDS Stage 2 CAI installed!!

down4it · 11-22-2007, 06:20 PM

So i went over to MSDS Inc yesterday to buy and have the Stage 2 CAI intake installed.

First off i just want to say thank you to Marty at MSDS Inc. and everyone who helped with the install.

I took the car out today just to see if i could hear the Intake and since its Thanksgiving there arent many cars on the road... This thing sounds great, you can hear the intake sucking in air and from 2000-3500rpm its loud!!! I'm sure it sounds even better on a car with a more quiet exhaust... I can feel a better pull in the top rpms, It's definitely gaining power!

The install was quick and easy, I can remove it and go back to stage 1 in about 30 minutes... All in all i think its a great product and i would say the best intake you can get for the 335i!!

I took some pics of the install...

I wonder how much heat the intake and piping soak up.

not bad. i don't think i could reach my turbo tuner down there if i installed that intake.

Nice to see a CAI for the 335, but it just sucks that you can't run one if you have a BOV.

SfValley335i · 11-22-2007, 08:21 PM

wow that IC looks small compared to the others that are out.
maybe you should post a video of the intake sound your talking about...

HyperM3 · 11-22-2007, 09:36 PM

So you have to remove the bumber to install it huh? Cant just go in from underneath?

jpsimon · 11-22-2007, 09:46 PM

are you going to get dynoed? (and did you get dynoed before recently for a comparison)

As usual you are smart... I think Spearco/Turbonetics knows how to build and test turbos and intercoolers better than most companies out there... Then again we should all just listen to you, look at your 335, its the bomb!

I dont need to post a video, you can buy one for yourself (if you can) and enjoy the sound... That is if you ever get your car back in one piece, in the mean time get a CAI for your 1989 Maxima
