aFe Power intakes

[ACJS]

Installed the aFe intakes yesterday. Liking it! Boost hits faster and there is a noticeable performance increase. Engine noise is slightly louder but not by a lot. Turbo spool and bov are definitely noticeable though.

Nice, did you do the turbo inlet? I got those and the intake waiting to be installed.

I heard butt dynos are very accurate

I installed the intakes and turbo inlets. The turbo spool is amazing. I was not expecting it to be that dramatic. Blow off sound it very noticeable. Definitely improved throttle repsonse.

how much harder was it to replace the turbo inlets?

 

[L-GX550-P]

The passenger side inlet is super easy because there is clear access. On the driver side you have more hoses in the way and need to unclamp a bracket that is in the way. It's much easier to do both inlets and intakes at the same time. I had my GoPro recording so hopefully I will get to posting a video soon.

the intakes were a relatively easy install. still deciding if the inlet tubes are worth it.

It definitely has a smoother flow and gets rid of some the built in baffles to help silence the turbo sounds. You won't be using that little 45 degree elbow that comes with the intake. It replaces that with a single piece that attaches directly to the MAF pipe.

Is this the Dry S or 5R?

These are the 5R oiled filters. Not as oily as when you buy a K&N cone filter.

These are the dry filters. They filter more than the oiled version and you don't have to worry about oil getting on your MAF sensor and throwing a check engine light.
