Intake dynos show otherwise, entry points 1 and 8 in your photo look pretty small to me and then the air has to make a lot of sharp turns which is never good for flow.

It's sold as a set

They just emailed me an said they won't have them in stock till end of the month but it's still worth the wait for the price lol

With the stock intakes are the charcoal filters removable? Might be a dumb question but I haven't cracked them open yet

Yes, louder intake/spool noise.

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but how long do these filters last?

Filters are lifetime. Simply wash, reoil and install.

Yea, I agree. Dyno results are all over the place as far as intakes go. Filters are for better sound. They only give you a real bump in highly modified cars. Maybe you get 1-2HP in a stock car, but that is probably a stretch.

WickedBMW · 10-25-2021, 03:28 PM

What’s the difference between K&N, BMC, Burger, Dinan, AFE and etc filters? In my opinion; marketing.

hellokitty · 11-02-2021, 03:11 PM

Here is a video of the MST intake to prove out the gains. As expected, filters gain more than just a nominal amount.

Dyno testing shows gains of 12 whp and 11wtq on an otherwise stock vehicle.

translux · 11-02-2021, 06:03 PM

I’ve seen minor gains from intakes on otherwise stock cars with no tunes but it’s usually due to car running a little leaner. Would be interesting to see if AFR changed.

This is how it’s done. You prove the power increase not assume it and ask everyone to take your word for it.

I have no skin in the game as I'm not a vendor nor do I profit off of selling aftermarket parts.

If you don't agree with the approach that Kies has done it, then do own testing and share the results with the group.

You got it wrong.

I do approve of Kies approach.
