Let us know how well those heads work..I'm looking at them now .will u tune after that ? Is it needed? I'm in a toss up between jba shortys or the bbk longs.

Tune depends on several things....do you need it, well kinda not really, depends on what you want out of the car. If a CEL comes on the tune can delete it. You can see how the car is performing and if anything should be adjusted. Otherwise yeah it would run maybe just not a peak.

MichaelH · 04-29-2010, 10:48 PM

i will tell u all how it goes when they go on which shld be in the next couple days and i think im going to put more mods on my car before i go and tune my car since its going to cost alot to tune might as well get as much mods on my car before i go

How is this possible? I PMed BBK and they told me they CAI wasn't going to be available for a few months because they're redesigning it. That was two days ago...

Thanks!

Matt-

We are changing the design a little bit but that should be on the way in a month or 2.

MichaelH · 04-29-2010, 11:05 PM

I hope so for your sake too. You know, I'm getting just entirely fed up with these intake company's information. First Vararam just blows me off for months, just stopped responding to my emails after stringing me along for months with "oh a few more weeks..." So they lost my business.

Then I'm down to BBK or K&N and I'm told one thing and you're told another. What is the deal with these companies? I'm trying to give my money to somebody, everyone just keeps giving me reasons not to.

MichaelH · 04-29-2010, 11:19 PM

yea i kno b/c i got a email from them saying it will be here shortly and u would think if someone is trying to buy there product that they would want to keep u interested and tell the truth and not beat around the bush

Why not just go with the Injen then? Its priced well, performs great, looks good, and its available to ship.

I completely agree with you. The Injen is proven and highly touted by many on this board. But call it paranoia, stubborness, whatever you want, I just don't feel comfortable with it down there. I know everyone says water isn't an issue but for me I would always be thinking about it and I'd rather just not worry about it. I'm pretty sure now I'll be going with the K&N Typhoon. Looks awesome, and let's be honest, none of the intakes really do THAT much for performance. So for me it's about which one provides some gains and looks best.

MichaelH · 04-29-2010, 11:32 PM

ive looked at all 3 and im kinda jus trying to experiment with some new products and i liked wat i was reading for bbk so i wanted tto give it a try so hopefully i dont get a email tom saying its back ordered again on me when i ordered it on the 9th of april

Thats understandable too. Im in southern cali so i dont need to worry about much rain or flooding. We did have a pretty good down pour here and i drove through for quite a while, and hit some big puddles and i checked the filter when i got home and it was completely dry. If your in an area where flooding and heavy rain or mud is an issue, then it would be understandable to go with a product that doesnt sit so close. Since the intake is going to be sitting up where the stock one sits, maybe you can try fashioning a tube or scoop to help get the colder air up there.

BBK may make a good intake but it is primarily the same design style as the airaid & k&n. Either way they are open box style which means you have to have the hood closed during dyno testing.

can you take pics of the headers. whats out of the box and install pics?
