BMS DCI

After weeks of searching, I finally committed to the BMS DCI and I must say I freakin love it! Install only took 15 minutes. Hardest part was taking off the stock air box from the three rubber grommets, what a PITA. Anyway, thanks for all the input on this intake. The sound really is intoxicating.

I have it with the JB3 2.0 I cant speak for gains with the intake alone, but the jb3 is insane.... my gas mileage has been reduced drastically haha. The intake sounds good though, I wish the turbo wooooosh was a little more pronounced though, but for $100 over the price of the jb3 it was a no-brainer.

Dude, a quick tip for you. Dont try and pry the rubber grommets out. Just grab a hold of the airbox side nearest the engine and PULL out towards the driver side. The studs will slide right through!!! Easy!!

torx bits IMO have no purpose but to piss you off.

Yea I could have used a standard socket head cap screw, or 6 point hex head, but no I decided to use the obscurely shaped bit that nothing will fit around.
