bmc carbon airbox...

[andy123]

has anyone tried a BMC carbon airbox on there s4. Rather then cutting my motor to bits or drilling my airbox to resemble a lump of swiss cheese im just looking for a bit of bolt on goodness that isnt going to sound to loud and will give some gains!

Andy, you must still have a soft spot for tinny japaese cars, as the link requires a login!

Nige.

p.s. do a search for the BMC airbox on here or AW - the results aren't impressive. The air intake on the S4 is not a weak point. Spend your money on a set of downpipes and a remap if you want more horses, or suspension upgrades if you want better handling.

one thing for you nige.......



theres nothing wrong with jap stuff, dont knock it till you tried it. It does feel a bit lightweight compared to audis/beemers etc but at the same time jap cars give a lot less grief (recalls, genral breaking etc). And besides, my old pulsar would tear most s4s a new un. Imagine that, getting hammered by a 400bhp sunny

i do love my s4 tho!

i for one have had no probs with BMC CDA. cant say it made a significant diff but it does seem to work well. fitting was slightly tricky, had to have a custom carbon duct made. pls see pic
