Intake comparison

Wookie420 · 07-24-2010, 11:17 AM

Anyone have any opinions/experience with the available intakes from BMS and Injen? One better than the other or is it just personal preference?

Just a personal preference, I ordered BMS dci yesterday for its good price.

IMO BMS is a better bang for your buck.

from searching, it seems as the main difference is the looks, obviously Injen is more stylish, and like with anything you basically pay for the name brand...so thats why Injen is more expensive because performance wise they are about the same. Since I care about the looks I myself ordered the Injen.

You should add the STETT and UR to the list too.

(trying to make this thread productive).

The restrictions are farther down the intake tract so almost all gains related to a DCI are going to be from the filter element used. The rest is just for show.

I'm open to other brand/manufacturer suggestions please...that's why I asked. I didn't list any other brands in the initial questions cause those were the 2 I've seen the most about...

Dont worry too much about it. A lot of members on these forums like to say "do a search" or "

" or "

" just to seem somewhat smart, but if people came together with all the previous knowledge + more, there would be a huge amount of actual and usable information around.

Instead of giving great advise, why don't you pull all the information together into a single thread

that's been posted over the past 2 years.
Everyone would certainly be grateful to you and MODs might even make a sticky out of it
