Bms was a joke..drop in filters aren't bad...and the injen open-cone intakes are great for sound. The stock f8x intakes are so well designed that unless you're pushing 25+psi, don't expect more then 10whp from them..majority do it for sound.

I was thinking about max psi but some people say not as good as others any chance you have a video of sound clip and have you driven in hot temps to notice a difference in throttle. thank you

Is it almost a gaurantee I'll have issues with BMS intakes? I'm pretty meticulous when it comes to install and will lightly oil O-rings and seatbthebsensor properly but has EVERYONE had some kind of idle issues with these? Or is it usually install related?
(Intakes are already purchased so I don't plan on switching) A few posts above someone called BMS intakes a joke? (Are they really that bad?) |

So will the dual cone intkaes rob power during the California summer heat? Or would i have been better sticking with my BMC filters and stock boxes?

You would be best sticking with OEM airboxes and BMC filters.

There are literally hundreds of sets of the BMS S55 intake out and I rarely hear of any issue from them. Whatever issue you would have like a less smooth cold idle any intake is going to give the same problem. Install with confidence. Mike |

Yes BMS is the most popular due to price. But that said doesn't mean their the best. I rather $pend a few more Benjamins and get MSR people swear by them no complaints except price.

No problems. I had some small pebbles in between the ridges of the filter after going off the track, but usually just give it a quick little spray when I wash the car or hit it with compressed air

I contacted Justin@AutoTalent and asked for extra filters. He said MSR doesn't offer replacement filters so I need to research before I buy thanks!

i keep going back n forth over the eventuri
i like the idea of more turbo noise, as the car can definitely do with some more theatre but the price is still a massive hurdle i ended up buying some afe dry filters, will give them a go and report back. our ADM cars don't have the charcoal filters, and there's a little turbo noise stock, will be good test to see if drop in's alter the sound, if at all |

If you ever have to replace them due to damage he will gladly swap them out, however you will never need to swap them due to degradation like a wet or dry filter like BMC or K&N |
