Cold Air Intake: Carbonio vs EVOMS? I wanted to get the communities opinions about the difference between these two intakes. There has been much discussion about the Carbonio and it not being worth the money in terms of Horsepower and Torque performance gains. In contrast I have heard several different individuals, and tuner shops saying that there are some performance gain to be had from the evoms intake. One is considerably cheaper than the other, which I assume is based in the materials used (CF or not)? Is this correct?
some questions to help the discussion along are:
If you have had both intakes which one did you like better, and why?
Are the non power performance benefits similar between the two. For instance the sound, fuel efficiency, boost delivery, and throttle response.
Are there any disadvantages to using either of these intakes vs the stock intake?
Are there any major differences in design between the too? Filter thickness? heat sheilding? air volume? etc.
Are there truly HP/TQ perfomance gains (or not) between the two?
My goal for this discussion is to better understand the differences and to help decide on which one to purchase. I am not solely interested in power performance gains. Which is good becuase it sounds like if there are any it is minimal.
Your opinion are valued. |
