Re: CAI
I have the r56s one on my 2010. Fitment is ok. I would prefer a different filter if I re-did it. Sounds of the diverter valve always make me smile.
In august, my intake temps stayed consistently low. Peaks were about 30°F lower than stock in back to back testing. Cooler temps may not matter as much.
Butt dyno says the power band is shifted up a little. Lower end seems less spunky bit it pills better at 4k+.
I'm going to try and make the shop day on the 16th if you'd like to see it. I'm also considering selling it just to try something different.

Re: CAI
I installed (with a friend) a Alta CAI in my car. I could probably help you with the intake some time if you would like. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and can follow directions.

Re: CAI
I had it on my R56. Super easy to install and you can actually hear the blow-off noise. You won't be disappointed.kgreen66 wrote:Anyone installed a DDMworks cold air intake from WayMotorWorks? Comments? Suggestions?

Re: CAI
r56 is different from r53. It's the old supercharged Tritec versus the turbocharged Prince engine. The hiss from the r53 is the belt while the r56 is a bov.MiniManiac wrote:I had it on my R56.

Good catch, I immediately thought it was an R56.Zackattack28 wrote:r56 is different from r53. It's the old supercharged Tritec versus the turbocharged Prince engine.

Re: CAI
I bought mine used to try it out. For the R56, the oiled filter does bother me a bit for longevity of the MAF as the filter is bolted onto the MAF. The noise is spectacular! I will miss that. I will tap the throttle just to hear the noise. Im taking mine off tonight as I sold it to a guy in Texas for what I paid. Going to try something else. Maybe a dry panel filter in the stock box.Minidave wrote:For those who had them and took them off, why?

Way Motor now offers a Pre oiled UNI filter or a K&N filter with their CAI. So you recommend the K&N? Anyone else have an opinion?

Re: CAI
First one I bought and I liked it. It wasn't super difficult to install and had a very clean look , especially with the airbox cover I bought extra. Well worth it. Works really well too. And yes it makes that nice whooshing sound.kgreen66 wrote:Zack, can you elaborate on why you prefer the alta?As far as CAI's go i recommend alta
