But with the downpipe, it seems like the car pulls a lot smoother throughout the entire power range. Likely a placebo, but it definitely doesn't feel like I lost anything. And the filter is very good quality. It's a cleanable/re-oilable heavy duty filter. Not a generic ebay type filter. Last edited by VegasG42; 09-26-2024 at 07:15 PM.. |

Not that it really matters a lot considering I'm not a competitive racer and I mainly wanted the sound. It's just a matter of now I know...lol. Just has me contemplating. |

But, I figure the BMS is about the best compromise between the stock airbox and an aftermarket intake. And I realized that I drive with the stereo / subwoofer up 99% of the time, so I never really even heard my former MST intake anyway |

If you remember, I had the Kyostar, which was a Chinese unbranded MST.
The install went well, and the sound was excellent. But after about a month I put the factory air box back in. The Vegas temperatures combined with spirited driving had under the hood temps very high. The heavy smell of the silicone and other intake smell always had me second guessing the quality. And the silicone turbo inlet had a very slight crimp where it curves. Which had me questioning whether or not it actually provided less flow than the factory inlet. TL/DR I didn't have faith in the longevity and reliability of the intake. |

Installed my AliExpress spoiler. Think I might be a mm or two off on alignment, but it's not enough to see.

Have you considered removing the under hood insulation?

To some, the increase in sound is appreciated more than an insignificant/unnoticeable change in performance associated with having a factory/sealed/quiet/baffled intake system.

No, I totally get it. Intakes for our car are mostly a sound mod. But where I live it just gets so damn hot, and I was always thinking about heat soak and long term reliability issues. If I lived somewhere up North, I would have the MST and call it a day. |
