Anyone custom fab dual intakes from these?
 

Hey guys,

I've been lurking for awhile and noticed CAI vs short ram, with problems of having to remove the bumper for the CAI to clean, while issues of heat soak in some of the short ram intakes.

I was wondering if anyone thought to give these a try:


BMC AIR FILTERS

Been lurking for a while? With a join date of today? Hmm...okie doke. Anyway, to your question, it looks like Modshack's setup.

i think the main problem with most of the CAI's are the filters themselves. they suction from the sides.

if you look at HKS and JWT's venturi's, they suction directly from
the front. i think that alone is a big improvement vs the normal
cone shaped filters.

modshack's coffeecan design is a good idea as long as the can
itself is not a restriction. i might do something like that down the
road.

hahaha, whatever the term is for reading the forums but never actually signing up


i've seen modshack's setup, but i don't think i'd custom everything like he did myself, so i was wondering about the BMC filters in particular

Well that's kinda what I'm trying to allude to (albeit not very clearly, I have to admit). It looks like the BMC filters might be a good way to replicate Modshack's setup (at least on the filter part of the equation) without having to custom fabricate anything. It's a good find. Thx for posting it! (Gave you some rep.)

Well...let's say I'm not a fan. First, they are Very expensive ($300+ EACH), 2nd, they have an odd flow pattern (through the center of the filter, out to the shell, then swirled), and third they have swirl Tabs in them which disrupts airflow over the MAF (you want that airflow smooth for best readings). Some of that can be fixed, some not. I just sold one I bought to autopsy. The Thin CF tube is not much of a heat shield. The swirl tabs are curious....Kinda like getting a "Tornado" for free....(Woof)
