For quite some time I ran BMS Dual Cone Intakes. I got them them for very cheap but without the paperwork. Since I live in Germany and don't want the hassle with police and such I searched for alternatives. First thing was to get an understanding how important these cones are. Apparently many people got many different results (who would have thought that measuring horsepower on such systems can be very flawed) but the main conclusion was that the inlets are way more restrictive than the original air box. However it seems that the restriction of the air box comes to play at about 450hp. From here on the dual cone seem to do better. However the Mr 5 alternative keeps a somewhat original look with the benefit of contributing a overall larger airflow. Since I daily my car, racing air filters won't be too good of keeping dirt out of the system, that's why I came up with a solution, which I think might be a good alternative for those who run BOV. I literally just installed small air filters on the silicone inlets, right where the DV would connect. I believe that these might deliver a higher airflow at high demanding loads. Also I noticed that below the air filter is plenty of space to, almost invisible, install an air cone in Mr5 style. This will be my next move, however this mod needs modifying the original air box.
Maybe this is an interesting alternatives to the already existing ones and im curious to your thoughts on this
