If you look closely, you can see mine is moved to the left of the CAI. Lucky the wires were long enough to squeeze it right there.

Does the dinan long tube intake make the loud whistle noise when at 10-20% throttle too?

-____- I didn't realize how loud the long tube whistle was

j_block · 06-03-2012, 07:25 PM

Yea at first I thought I had a hole in my intake boots. Change those out and still had the whistle. That's when I knew it was the intake

It literally may be a deal breaker. I feel like it is more responsive though. t's nice under WOT but you compromise elsewhere with the whistle :|.

GL with sale I definitely love how the Long tube feels on the butt dyno. strong no hom0.

That was a good one.

I don't mind the whistle, it disappeared to my ears after a month.

J_block can you PM me some pics of your ballast relocation? I just have sitting there...not tied down. Wanted to get the M3 bi-xenon relocation bracket, but I want to see other solutions first.

Buyer might want to check and make sure the mounting/support bracket comes with this. I didn't see it in the seller's pictures.

haha. Really? I wonder if its even loud/overpowering outside the car with the cams and headers.... It may just be because im so close to the intake sound. Idk I dont wanna sound rice to the enthusiasts that are too good for intakes
