so, I got a new carbon fiber intake canister to replace
the old ATI canister and wow, I'm in love with my ati
kit all over again.

I'm getting more psi throughout the rpm band (at high
rpm, went from really low 5 psi to high 5 psi). It's also more
responsive when not on boost (more like it used to be).
The most surprising thing is: it's quieter than ever!

so, if you spent 4.5k for a g35c ati kit, spend the extra
250 for the following carbon fiber intake canister.
Oh, did I mention it's lighter too?

BMC CDA Intake Canister

 

Whats the part #? Getting my ATI installed on my G soon, does the canister bolt right on without modification?

 

CDA65-130

It's diameter is 5 inch instead of 4.5 (ATI) so it may stick out
a little more. To save you some shipping and waiting ($18
from Italy so it's not cheap), also order the 70mm to 65mm
adapter: SARI001

I had to order the adapter after getting the intake and
seeing it in person, ouch...

ps. if you want to save money, you can find a round
***tapered*** filter to replace the stock round straight
filter but the bmc has many more advantages...

 

Very nice, did u ever dyno'd ur car?

 

ya, before this new intake, I got 331hp (auto, tuned rich, and barely 5psi).

 

kind of curious, did you ever just try a run with the filter removed from the canister? Still sounds like , though improved, that the post SC filter is dropping more psi than a pre mounted filter would.

 

ever taken it to the track?
