Are the BMC's conical or are they just flat replacement filters? Where are these "charcoal liners" that you speak of, and how would one remove them? Sorry, I just got the car and haven't cracked open the filter boxes.

Thank you! That's an awesome write up. I'd like to go w conical filters. Does anyone know of any options without having to get the entire intake kit? |

No benefit in doing so. We have +600whp M4s running stock airboxes, it's not a choke point.

Ok, so I pulled the trigger on the CTS Turbo intake kit. I just couldn't bring myself to pay north of $500 for an intake. Got it on sale for like a smidge more than $320 from UroTuning. Like I mentioned earlier I'm not looking for performance gains, just more sound. It's an open system that retains the bottom half of the factory air box for use as a heat shield. I dunno, we'll see. I'll post some pictures and such once it's here and I have a couple hours to throw it on.

Intake system came today. Install was pretty simple, except when you drop a socket head down to the floor pan, finally get it out, and 10 minutes later drop a bolt down there, and have to fish it out too.
Took it on a spin around the block real quick and the turbos sound great, can really hear them spool. As an added bonus it even adds a little BOV woosh also. So here's the issue. I don't feel like it's boosting as strong as it was. Maybe I'm just getting used to it or maybe...maybe it's something I did. I had a difficult time tightening down the O clamps around the silicon hose on the turbo inlet. I've already checked to make sure the hose didn't come off, and she's still on there. My question is, if those O clamps aren't significantly tightened could I be losing boost around the silicone hose? Would it throw a code if there was a "boost leak" of sorts? Don't get me wrong it's still pulling pretty dang good, but it just feels a tad bit off. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks everyone! |
