K&N DCI

Brian135i · 05-19-2010, 02:16 PM

Hi, I have decided to make my own DCI with K&N filters. These filters are light weight and look really good. I had to buy a long pipe of aluminum and cut it to size and polish it. Pictures are below!!! What do you guys think? I can make more DCI kits with K&N filters, if anyone wants it. Just PM me. Thanks!

Question on the couplers (i.e. pipes). How did you connect the pipes to the intake inlets on the car? I did a similar thing with hks filters.

I just put it in as far as the stock intake would go in.

infinitekidM2C · 05-19-2010, 03:05 PM

Lol..that sounds dirty..so the couplers are placed within the car's intake piping right..that's how i did it, just wondering if you used a different method.

Looks good. Did you notice any performance differences?

forza1976 · 05-19-2010, 03:21 PM

Nice DIY!

YES!!! The car feels a lot better than my BMS drop in and i feel they are better than my BMS DCI that i had on the car before. The inner filter on other DCI bugged me, i feel they caused turbulent air. These are also a inch longer over my old DCI.

I already have the BMS, come time for new filters I may juts buy these. That being said, did you use the same size piping as that the BMS had? Aka I can just use the ones that are on there already
