Intake Recommendation

3onDubs · 10-06-2015, 11:45 AM

Can anyone recommend a nice sounding intake for the 328? I have mp exhaust.

I'm guessing that performance gains will not be noticeable.

TIA

Injen

How is the maintenance on it?

Maintenance on an intake? It's the same for any cone filter intake, clean at your own discretion. Some never clean it for its whole life, I typically clean it once a year. Otherwise, there's really no other maintenance I can think of.

As you noted, performance gains are not substantial with an intake upgrade on this particular vehicle/engine. The primary benefit is in terms of sound, which does indeed enhance the driving experience.

We've been working on our intake design for quite some time, and it is now available via a discounted pre-sale.

Check out our R&D coverage below for information about the design as well as some sound clips from testing.

Let me know if you have any questions about our setup.

Thanks

AFE confirms fitment of their magnum and momentum intakes on 420, Injen does not.

I say go with AFE
