I’ve been looking for intakes to improve s65 induction noise, and went with a BMC filter. It got the job done, but I was still entertaining other options short of going for a carbon plenum. I was on the fence about going for a dinan CAI, so I bought a Dinan CF elbow to see if changing from the plastic elbow generates any more sound. I like the cosmetics of the dinan intake a lot too. After putting the elbow on, I didn’t notice any additional noise. Thanks to Amazon, I just returned it.
It’s worth noting that the full dinan CAI kit has a larger diameter filter outlet, so I could be missing out. Anyone know if a full CAI is louder than just a filter?
