Which intake to run?

duc848 · Oct 21, 2009

I know this has been discussed about a million times now. I just want some quick feedback as I am buying one soon. Who is using what?

BDX?
Timbersled?
Etc...?

Thanks

My vote goes out for timbersled. Great fit, and works excelent.

Ive been running the Arctic Cat snopro one. its the lightest weight one out there and works awesome!

BDX for my 09 m8.

BDX for me works really good. Drilling the front bumper is kind of a pain but well worth it1

bdx
or snopro
the bdx has better air intake from the bumper

also easy install on the bdx i have install at least 20 of them

BDX......................Good price, Good Quality, Works great And pretty decent weight savings if you remove the stock intake from the underside of the hood. Had mine for two years now and holding up very well.

Timbersled gets my vote probably just cause i have one and really like it, but honestly i think either the timbersled or bdx will work good for ya.

anything is better than stock. Cutlers also makes a nice set up. Either way what ever you pick make sure you get enough flow into the intake and hot air out otherwise what ever you choose, its not going to work at full capacity

Are you guys running a fuel box as well? I have an SLP full system and plan on not running a box. I believe they are already rich enough. i always ride above 3000 feet anyway. I think I am going to go with the BDX as it is actually a cold air intake and not an underhood (warm air) intake. I have talked to a few people and the reason you need to run a controller with some others is because the warm air under the hood confuses the sensor to the ECU. I plan on using some weather stripping to seal off the under hood air at install.

Thanks

SLP says no, but its pretty cheap safe assurance that you aren't going to burn down your sled.

haha thats straight off the SLP website

i would check the plugs after the intake is install just to make sure you dont burn it down that way you know if you need a fuel box

blackcloud2k · Oct 21, 2009

some people get away with out a box and just run a regulator to pump up the pressure but as was said just chech your plugs...but with the price of a regulator you are half way to the price of a box so...personal choice but I know what route I would go...

rynokron · Oct 21, 2009

SLP single, BDX intake, and a fuel pressure regulator is what I'm going to run. 07' M8. 3k to 6k elevation most of the time.

duc848 · Oct 21, 2009

I am going to install it and check the plugs. If i need a controller I will just bbuy one at that point. They are pretty cheap. I have already spent a bunch this year so I am going to see how it goes. Thanks everyone for the input.

mountain_tamer · Oct 21, 2009

BDX on my sled for two years now. No issues with it and great weight savings and price.

backcountryislife · Oct 22, 2009

anything but timberlsed

bdx is the besat buy for the $$, you get a complete setup. No going to the hardware store to try to make the kit work.

stocksucks!! · Oct 22, 2009

timbersled for me works awsome added front nose cone vents should even run better now with more cool fresh air going into intake..also added some dash vents to help with air flow and getting rid of all that heat..:face-icon-small-hap:face-icon-small-hap:beer;:beer;
