BFI Intake SC430
Did a search on this and found no solid info...
I am very interested in doing this mod on my SC.. I know a few here already have attempted, i would like to find out what they did (pics would be great) and how were the results.
I'm not a big fan of Intake kits since their gains are not proven and i would like to keep my SC quiet.. Dont believe it has enough grunt to deserve a growl
..
Thanks,
Moe

Are you guys talking about the Injen? lots of mixed reviews on that.. many say the performance gain was nill or even dropped with the intake.. The BFI on the other hand seems like the way to go

Most intakes do nothing good in terms of air filtration efficiency, HP gain, etc.
For nice sound, performance exhaust is the way to go. It is more expensive but really worth it. MB, BMW, Porsche all have the performance/sport exhaust as a factory option, but none for the intake.
That tells you something.

BFI is the way to go for intakes.. i believe a good set of performance headers and a racing cat (or catless pipe although i do not like going catless for all the common reasons) are the way to go with your exhaust.. IMO that is 
Exhaust mods are defintely the way to go for more performance but of course more bucks.
Re. Headers - about how much does the install cost? Are headers more important than a performance exhaust - ie. which one first?
