BMS DCI just installed...

berrydingle · 06-09-2011, 05:30 PM

I followed the exact instructions manual from bms website. Everything went smoothly, thanks to bms.

However I do have a question. I went for a test drive as anyone would. After the car is warmed up, I floor it to see if I hear any noise differences.

Coming from Honda/Nissan guy, generally the intake sounds more aggressive, however, I did notice this DCI didn't make much noise except this "weeeeeeesh" noise everytime I hit the pedal.

Is this normal? I just wanted to be sure...

Here is the finished product!!

I thought so! I can hear it much better with the DCI than the stock airbox.

Time to look for some CP and BOV now...

Bro, take off the plastic cover under the hvac filter then test drive it...

Krells · 06-10-2011, 10:04 AM

Are you running stock boost? It gets a bit louder when you have a tune.

care to show me what part to take off? With pics maybe? haha..

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 06-10-2011, 02:46 PM

I didnt realize how loud the DCI were until I went back to stock intake, I couldnt hear anything not even the BOV.

I quickly went back as it was too quiet.

Robert at vishnu told me to do this if i wanted more sound, we even went for a test drive with it off, it does sound quite louder. I liked the sound and was going to do it when i got home, but where do you put the sensors? since they clip onto it???

are you pointing to the screws?? because if you remove those, thats the microfilter housing... the thing you want to remove is the thing on the underside of that...
or at least that is the one i removed, but put it back on because i didnt know where to put the sensors that clip on to it...

I just found that pic on the net. It was for a carbon fiber housing replacement. I just wanted to verify what filter we were talkin about.

Found this thread for more info. Including your sensors question...
