Hi all

Can anybody steer me in the right direction...looking to install a cold air intake to my MCS.... GruppeM make a full carbon fibre intake...and BMC also make a carbon fibre air box. Does anyone have a cold air intake installed?

Hi all

Any thoughts on the Gruppe M carbon fibre intake.....supposed to be an extra 8bhp..what about the BMC airbox?

...but the Dinan CAI is sweet and functional.... and the BFR CAI is a work of art.

M7 makes a setup as well.... complete, functional, and some say.....power producing.

Rogue Engineering makes a setup as well... attractive, functional, & not too pricey.

These are the ones I have seen in person and can speak about.... don't know of the rest.

I have the Works setup because it was a total package... very satisfied.

Outrageously expensive

The BenFer Performance intake is cheaper and looks more like stock:

The tubing to route air into the filter cylinder has a longer path than the stock set-up which can't be good for performance and makes for an ugly fitment:

For information on other intakes ...

What air intakes are available for the 'S'?

I fitted an ALTA to mine now you really hear the supercharger whine only thing is it was a bit of hassel fitting it as you need to remove the ECU which i had doubts doing but i did it.

Thanks all

Just checked out the Ben Fer, and for a full carbon fibre intake the price is very good. Just sent them an email to get a price shipped to Australia...
