Just bought a stainless VRSF intake and will install next weekend or so and report back. I'm not in it for performance (there won't be any) but I am thinking the WHOOOOOOOSH is worth $200.

That is the version that I have. The issue was getting it to sit low enough that the MAF plug didn't foul on the CF brace. I was able to get it to work, it just wasn't as smooth as I would have expected.

The newest intake has been revised to clear the brace and aid fitment
Please note that if you're looking for sound, you can swap the filters out relatively easily but please note that the mesh filters have caused quite a few confirmed turbo failures due to the lack of filtering on both the S55 and the S63 platform. |

THIS is great to know. Glad I took those filters off my car so soon. Thank you.

So after installing yesterday it appears fitment is still an issue on the passenger side. The straight coupler that was included should be an angled one as it shoots straight into the heat shield on the body. Even with the pipe fully shoved in the coupler and rotated as much as possible, it’s still touching the carbon brace.

Had the same issue, the MAP sensor will not clear the carbon brace. Spent hours trying to adjust in all angles. Multiple emails to CS with no reply, can't call them cause no contact number. I cut an inch off the bottom after that and it still won't clear, I gave up and it still sitting in the corner off my garage. PS: their chargepipes doesn't fit well either...boost leak.

Bought mine in October. Fitment was on point. Price and quality is really good. Install was very easy and straight forward.

^i don’t see the maf on the passenger pipe so that tells me it’s crammed underneath the carbon brace, which is the fitment issue I’m referring to.

I have taken mine off and re-installed a few times now after doing plugs and there really isn't a "good" way to get it to fit. The passenger side tube is at a weird angle in the coupler and just held in by tightening the clamp at the weird angle. Pretty disappointing because it doesn't seem like a difficult piece to engineer for good fitment.

You guys might want to considering buying a silicone pipe with a 30 or 45 degree bend to it. Just cut it to length and reuse the clamps and discard the coupler that comes with the intake. It helped when I had my VRSF intake. I since sold my VRSF intake and got the injen short ram intake and that one too has very slight fitment issues. Not sure if there are any intakes that don't have this issue.

How hard is it to move the MAF sensor connector 1-2 inches to the right?
Maybe they mass produced already and just don't care...waiting for bottom off the barrel sales. |

Anyone having issues with fitment, please send over a picture of your passenger side pipe and we'll confirm whether or not you have the updated pipe or not.
This issue has been corrected for a few months now and we've supplied about a dozen or so replacements to customers and they have confirmed it has resolved their issue. |

Worst case we'll be more than happy to jump back to the drawing board and rip apart the shop car and get the intake revised once again. |

That's correct. The MAF is under the brace with a decent gap and is NOT rubbing.

I do want to add that audibly the turbos are slightly louder than charcoal delete and sounds good! I have gained one PSI of boost versus stock intake boxes so it’s picking up power for sure. Butt dyno concurs and I will have some draggy times in the next day or so to compare.
