Anyone use these on the x308 xjr? I've seen people use them on the x100 xk's. Wondering if they fit our cars. I just like the looks of it, and I'm sure it'd increase the supercharger whine. I'm a young guy, and I do like me some blower whine. Pulleys will increase the whine, I know. But for now, just want a little more whine. If there's a power increase, even better. If the carbon intake will make iat temps high. Then I'll pass. Did research, and people say the mina intake isn't worth it. So are there any "cai intakes" worth buying for our cars?
The factory intake/filter is already pretty good, and isolated from the heat of the engine bay with the way it's set up; aftermarket CAI won't do any good for intake temps from what I remember. Any smooth intake tube should increase noise (like the mina gallery one, or similar styled, or deleting/blanking the resonators on the factory intake). Performance wise, there was a thread somewhere where a member was experimenting with custom elbows above the throttle body and finding improvements there, but running against the issue of lack of space under the hood. If you can find that it's probably worth the read, don't remember if it was in the x308 or x100 subforums.
I'm liking the last two threads. I think I'll end up doing similar to the last link, but powder coat the pipe in a black similar to the stock air box. Thanks a bunch!
I remember what nilanium is talking about. Its an older thread and I'll pretty much assure you, any thread with modifications will have Avos involved somehow.
Anyways, like nilanium said, they chatted about piping and about the only thing the Mina Gallery type units do is add bling. Just extend the existing unit behind the bumper or into the fender. But to do such some removed the windshield spray bottle, other hacked things in and still others went the fender route.
BMC carbon fiber intake?
