Intake baffle removal (ftp/bms parts)

So I decided I would try this out, ftp intake pipe and bms air box baffle removal. Gets rid of a lot of clutter in the engine bay. Sounds maybe slightly louder than stock, I am thinking I may change the filter element on the stock box, but I do notice a slight throttle difference (I know probably in my head to justify purchase lol) parts fit great.

Looks good. Where did you buy the FTP intake pipe? I've been looking at that and their charge pipe as well.

I got it from top gear solutions, I think you can order direct from ftp too. Quick shipping had it from Taiwan in 5 days

Thanks for the pic - I ordered one as well (couldn't resist). With my ASD coded off I'll be interested to see if there is any noticeable sound difference.

I coded asd off when I got my dinan, no real sound difference. I'm thinking if I change the filter then it will be louder. I was thinking the bmc filter bc it's supposedly filters as low as 7 microns vs the oem 10 but that may just be marketing?
