Installed HVI after having BMS filter Kit

I purchased the HVI intake off another member (estanova awesome guy to buy from) Well I had the BMS filter kit on for about 3-4 weeks and had the problem with the rubber coupler..in my anticipation I decided it was time to try another intake..Just installed the HVI intake and WOW this thing is awesome throttle response was crisp and the car felt quicker through-out the power band, Not to knock the BMS filter kit which has a similar feel but man this thing sounds awesome and just feels better, It definately added something to the top end...to all those on the fences about this intake I would definately take the plunge..install was simple (trust me if I had to rate my expertise it would be toward the novice level), but a word of advice would be to purchase an extendable magnet thing, that thing saved my ass...all-n-all a great purchase, to all of ya'll that have a stock intake system either intake is well worth it..No I'm not anyones fanboy nor am I some car guru so I'm just a regular guy enjoying the hell out hearing the turbos...

Logic's CAI is a great piece of kit and what I chose to go with. Too bad my car's back at the dealer for fuse problems
