Yes it's a very nice clean kit. If I didn't already have TFTs, those would be an obvious choice for me. Overall it's just a very clean kit, quality and Robert is a really nice guy to deal with.

Those of you with inlets, have you noticed a greater "sucking" noise from the inlet install compared to your old DCI stock location? (assuming you had DCI's at one point)

We recently changed the length of our piping so the two filters will sit closer together as well. All kits currently purchased will benefit from this upgrade.

Still curious.

Tiago@VRSF · 12-01-2015, 08:10 PM

The relocated inlets make a louder intake sound vs the OEM route.

Grand_hustle17 · 12-01-2015, 11:38 PM

Dci is ass lol.... Car in shop installing inlets

limitdown · 12-02-2015, 11:23 AM

Another reason for keeping the stock inlet routing is if you live in a jurisdiction that requires visual inspection of the engine bay for "safety" or smog.
It would be way too much work and/or money to revert to stock inlets before inspections, then reinstall aftermarket inlets after inspections. Inlets are far more difficult to replace than downpipes, chargepipes, an exhaust or intercooler

Fundguy1 · 12-02-2015, 01:11 PM

What's an inspection and smog. I'm in Florida. 😉

Grand_hustle17 · 12-02-2015, 03:29 PM

Installed today.. They didnt sit close as i thought but it is what it is lol

Shadow007 · 12-02-2015, 06:28 PM

I just ordered the VRSF 2" inlets last night they should be here by this weekend. I was going with MMP, but they required a shipping charge compared to free 99...petty I know lol

Grand_hustle17 · 12-02-2015, 06:41 PM

I still love how precision sit in the bay. Just like vsrf n mmp price more

Lambobimmer · 12-02-2015, 06:54 PM

Something I don't understand. Why change the inlets to the hot side of the engine unless you are going to run a single turbo. You certainly don't get any performance gains by doing this and you also have to move the coolant tanks and boost canisters to the other side of the engine. I think that the 2" inlet that uses the stock location is the way to go.

Grand_hustle17 · 12-02-2015, 07:58 PM

Um.... Nooooo lol.. More power this way.. Less travel of cooler air.. Temps would be warmer by time they get to turbo with longer piping.... Cooler turbo, well u know the rest

Do you hear an increase in sound from your engine bay? I cant wait to get mine this weekend!

Fundguy1 · 12-02-2015, 08:27 PM

Mmp is out of stock. Vrsf has improved their brackets and made intakes even and no shipping. Hmmmmm

+1 that's the only reason I chose them over mmp granted both designs are identical.
