Well I called up brainstorm today to see about getting a adapter for my defi guages installed and wile I was there rashaun ( cant spell please forgive) and he showed me the APS coldair intake I was impressed and like the oem quality craftsmanship. I was in a good mood so I burned a whole in my wallet and baught and had it installed.
before I go into how it performed I would just like to say thanks to rashaun and the staff at brainstorm. They new what they were talking about and were real friendly and down to earth. I plan on using them for my EVO aftermarket needs.
Well I started off by warming up the car I took off from the shop and noticed no real big gain in normal driving. I got to a open road and hit the gas and boy was I suprised at the sound I sware the turbo was infront of my face it sucks hard and loud (like a porn star sucking a golf ball threw a garden hose) tssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss and when boost came on it got a tad louder but boy did the car pull like a frieght train from about 4K -7K the car improved drasticly not to many real dead spots. I was verry impressed and happy with my purchase. Oh and if u like the BOV sound this intake will make u realy happy it eckos in the bumper and scares people left and right scared my buddy on the freeway in his Z
All in all this intake is expensive at 450 with replacement resovoir but well worth it and a great fit and great performance.
