Looking to get a new intake, and I've read reviews of both, but really no comparisons. I suspect the power gains are comparable, so what are the other pro's and con's of each unit?

Imparticularly, I WANT TO HEAR THE TURBOS! Take me back to the old school turbos that the spool up turned heads as you whizzed by. V-Flow louder? Once Vivid releases their second snorkel, will that offset the noise difference?

What's everyone think?

You can always remove the cover on the Vivid unit and add weatherstripping to seal it against the engine bay cover (but you'll need to trim the engine bay cover shroud as well). That'll help in increasing the audible sound of the turbo spool-up just like EVOMS. Once the 2nd snorkel releases it'll increase the turbo spool induction sound.

 

Had Both:

V-Flow is louder -- you will be able to heare the turbos and blow off

AP box -- it feesl more responsive off the line.

 

You can remove the lid and cut the shroud above it? Will that cause MAF failures or issues in the rain? If you can do that, why would they need a second snorkel kit?

V Flow is great, I have no experience with AP one's yet.

 

If the V-flow is sealed on the top by the lid, why can't hasn't anyone cut the shroud to allow even more airflow (and sound)? Rain? Airflow too turbulent that close the filter?

can you do intake without software?

 

From what I've read you can do intake/exhaust w/o a tune. The stock map should adjust for it just fine.

what do you recommend for an s cab?
