Expensive vs Cheap intakes

[GavinMcKay]

Just wanted to see if anyone knew if there was any difference between cheaper intakes (VRSF, BMS, ARM) and more expenive intakes (aFe, Injen). There is a good 400 dollar price difference and I just wanted to know if it was worth it.

Stock box plus Mr.5 mod…as good as any if not better bar a couple of nm torque at peak torque..plus better filtration, cooler IATs, no heat soak etc etc etc..

Built a hybrid DCI intake front hot side and rear cold side, both are right behind the headlights and have a heat shield on the cold side intake as it's close to the alternator which puts off some heat. I used a pair of huge skunk2 velocity stack cones, my inlets are full 3".

Have a aFe Momentum GT intake which worked great, but limited my options.

Interesting! I couldn't see it on your build thread? Wouldn't mind some pics

Yeah sorry life has been bananas with work and two kids under 5 and I haven't updated my build thread in a few years I think.

Takes me weeks to find time for small 1-2h projects or even an oil change.

I have the turbo side TFT intake ( modified for RHD) with relocated tank.
