While the stock intake system is adequately suited to support up to stage 1 power levels, that does not mean there is no performance benefit when upgrading to the Dinan system. Besides its jaw-dropping appearance, the biggest advantage of the system, by virtue of additional and optimized flow, is the reduction of the pressure depression in the stock system. This equates to the turbo having to work less in order to achieve targeted power. With the turbo working more efficiently this also means a lower pre-turbine backpressure, lower turbocharger shaft speeds, lower turbocharger compressor discharge temperatures, and the ability to achieve higher boost pressure levels. Paired with the natural improvement to throttle response, a bump to the acoustics, and an unequaled visual appeal, the Dinan F9x X5M/X6M carbon fiber intake system can wear the self-appointed moniker of "masterpiece" without trepidation.

Features:

• Carbon Fiber overload – the good kind.
• Center inlet/scoop doubles as a visually pleasing carbon fiber engine cover.
• Increased turbo efficiency, reliability, and head room.
• More Flow: 10% greater than stock (Stock: 575 CFM, Dinan: 630 CFM @ 30" H2O per bank).
• Increased sound for aural satisfaction at full load.
• Improved throttle response.
• 86% increase in inlet cross sectional area via the center inlet/scoop (secondary inlet) for maximum airflow.
• Larger volume air boxes (56% larger than stock) that completely seals allowing an increased volume of air to be utilized.
• 46% increase in filter area (stock: 51in², Dinan: 82in² per side) for optimum flow.
• Bolt-on installation.
