Dinan Intake

Looking at different intake systems and thinking the Dinan one is the route I am going to go!

Does anyone have any videos of the sound it creates or review of the intake?

Thanks!

I just installed one last weekend--the "PEX" one. Was very reasonably priced, and top-tier quality. Install/fitment was cake.

You do hear the turbo doing its thing a little more, but it is subtle. I don't think it's the loudest intake option for our cars, but it is noticeable for both spooling up sounds, and blowing off.

It looks much better than the stock one with all its protruding orifices lol. I got this one for its looks, and the subtle sounds and it suits me perfectly. That is my take on it.

I have had my Dinan intake installed for about a month now and I wish this was the first mod I did on the car. Sounds great and looks amazing in the engine bay!

I know Dinan claims their intake provides 9 WHP and 8 torque on a stock vehicle but that seems a little hard to believe. Do you notice any power difference?

I honestly have no way of saying. My butt dyno is very insensitive. Unless it adds 100hp I won't notice lol. The only thing I noticed was the sound and appreciation for the underhood appearance. Have other mods in mind for actual power gains.
