To each his own
I'm about performance and looks, I guess you have to wait if you want the best of both worlds To me thats not a product, just a bunch of plastic ran to the wheel wheel with no design, the engine is starting to look like a 'sup'd' civic. But whatever makes you happy, is key, enjoy. |

Oh it will show gains on the dyno for sure, no doubt about it being less restrictive. It's just un-evenly less restrictive. And it could possibly be worse on the one turbo while the other makes up for it.

I agree with you on the design issue. I dont think its as big an issue, but still an issue non the less. I just wanted to test it out not only for myself but for all you guys that were also interested in the VIP intake. Havent seen anyone else post dynos or pics or anything about the intake install except for the guys at VIP.

Yea theres looks better as it splits early, still think something more like it comes up, makes a 90 degree, splits, and turns into the two would be better. I like symmetrical things like that though.

Hey, you think you can get some test results of how much air the intake is sucking in and at what temperature? I remember when I had an intake in my B6 S4, and the manufacturer claimed an increase in HP, but one member on another board did a test to see how much air was flowing and at what temperature, and they were both significantly worse than the stock airbox.

revah i can pull up the last 10 posts you have made on this site and every single one has been negative and half are regarding VIP accusing him of being a scam artist. I believe we get your point.

+1 $450 + shipping for this is highway robbery. It is kind of funny watching these tuners take advantage of the larger wallets of Bimmer owners. This same piece would be about $125 bucks on a Supra, Eclipse or STi. |

and MSDS's system will cost you $600 plus shipping, yet I'm still considering it knowing that I need an intake of some kind. I dont want an open cone intake sucking in hot air from the engine bay, so the cold air kits are my only choice.........
