more recent BMS dual cone intake reviews?

I did a search already and read some past reviews regarding the intake. Now I would like to hear some more recent reviews after having this intake or maybe comparing it to other intakes in the market.

The price is definitely a big plus, any problems?? engine codes?? how does the sound compare to other intakes??

I don't have time to write a thorough review but I installed a pair about a week ago. The install went pretty smoothly. It's a little hard to get the rear filter and coupler installed - would suggest removing the cowl and battery cable conduit. There is little if any difference in sound that I can tell, but I'm partially deaf in the left ear from a shooting incident. A friend said he could hear the turbo's more at low speed, but I can never hear them anyway. Definitely an improvement in performance on the top end. My previous best 1/4 was about 12.7 at 108, now it's 12.6 at 111. It might be a little crisper on the low end, but that might be due to the new procede map I added the same day which was supposed to add more low end torque right off idle.

I have the Vishnus which are the same thing. Definitely a sound improvement but don't look for performance gains.

Great sound and moderate performance gains. The higher the boost the more performance benefit there is from the DCI. I believe if you are running 12+ PSI you should have an intake of some sort..
