Is BMS DCI a good intake?

Hey guys,


I am going to get a JB4 from Burgertuning soon. (Is this the best place to get from?) And I want to get a DCI too, but compare to other brands, BMS's DCI is much cheaper, such as aFe....
So, is there any quality issue or any reason that BMS DCI is kind of cheaper than other intakes?
Please advise...Thanks!

If I were you.....

Buy a used jb4 with used BMS dci for like $400... there's always a ton for sale here and n54tech.com

Why buy something new unless it's a part that wears down like tires or brakes? Don't get me wrong the intake filters get dirty, so look for a clean set

The BMS dci is the best bang for the buck, the bms dci is just two filters and some hardware to bolt them on. They are cheap because they don't have much to them other than the filters. All the other dci are the same. I'm pretty sure the afe is a cai, not dci which includes intake piping.

Anyways what I tell people is run stock air box with upgraded filter and rpi scoops if your in a hot climate running w/o meth, but if your full bolt on running high boost or in a cool climate DCI all the way.

Good luck, Travis

An intake is useless for detailing your car.

If you went to the correct forum and asked this, you'd get a billion responses. (Although most of them would be telling you to use the function.)

The other guy wasn't joking. It's always better to search for your answer before posting. A lot of people will bash you for it, because a question like that has already been posted 500+ times.
