NAM will get a update on the new dos product at the end of the month .

 

clint posted a vid in dunphyj's CAI thread .

 

You put the OCC in the PCV line. I catches oil and water and keeps it out of your turbo, inter cooler, and stops the carbon buildup on the back of the valves which is a problem with these cars.

IMO if you are going to get a can, you want the BSH can. If you use it in conjunction with their dual boost port with the plug installed, it takes car of both PCV ports (one on each side of the valve cover) with one catch can.

............ anyone using this in cold winter climates and can comment on the moist/rain issue in the bulkhead area. I'm in Canada and concerned about this as it's noted that it can be an issue with this design on the web page.

 

Hi tominizer,

There are no issues with rain or snow with this CAI design. Hopefully some DoS clients in Saint Louis and other places that get frozen precipitation can comment further on this.

The hydrophobic filter wrap that DoS offers exists primarily for those who:

1) Like to err on the side of planning for all eventualities, regardless of how unlikely they may be.
-and/or-
2) Live in a place with monsoon-like rains.

Hope this helps.

-Clint

 

I live in Salt Lake City, where we get snow and rain in the spring and have had no problems whatsoever. I don't have the little water jacket. I do have the noise baffle installed and I feel that will do the job of keeping most of the water off of the filter. I love my DoS intake!!

 

ok im ready to install mine..

 

[quote=09MellowJCW;3003728]I wish I'd listened to all of you guys in the first place and bought this one the first time around.

It looks great, fits great, and sounds even better! "

How about a video for those that want one!?

 

Here's what a quick YouTube search for Defenders of Speed will pull up . . .

Since I live near 09MellowJCW we decided to meet up and do a little show and tell with our JCWs and have some lunch. I went for a ride in his car and that was that. I am swapping my NM Engineering intake for the DoS CAI. I contacted Clint last night and he has already shipped my order out to me. Can't wait to install it.

NAM+peer pressure = more mods. Thanks 09MellowJCW and Clint

 

Sounds really good Does it affect the MPG? I haven't seen one for the R53, they list only the R555,56 and 57. This is because of the turbo? Think it'll work for the 53?

 

NOPE

 

I won't work with the R53. I never pay attention to gas mileage, so I don't know about that. I don't see how it could though. Uless, of course, you like the sound so much that you're always on the gas

 

Oh well...I'll keep looking around....

 

You can always count on this guy for his detailed responses. Thank you JamesHunt.

 

lol

why waste words when the answer to the question is cut and dry

 

Onefish

If you loved the sound with just a dos added wait until you turn up the boost and get a fat pipe on your jcw

 

So even with a JCW, you really think I should get a DP? Riss or ED what is your advice? And can you give us an update on how your 02 sim is working out.

 

I would get a catless riss (can be very loud but zero drone when paired with stock jcw exhaust and the popping just gets meaner ). waiting for o2 sim v2.0

 

Unless you're building a race car like JamesHunt's car, I like the Exhaust Depot DP with cat for most folks that use their car as a daily driver and weekend fun machine. There are no CEL issues to contend with and it makes nice gains.

The ECU on the R56 keeps doing a really good job at foiling the efforts of any O2 sim that I've seen mentioned on this and other forums. Also, the A/F readings that I've seen up to this point indicate that the Exhaust Depot's DP won't throw flags at CARB calibrated and similar emissions sniffers come inspection time.

 

One of the benefits of running a dealer tag,no smogcheck

 

I've been reading on this thread:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...s-and-cel.html

that the Exhaust Depot DP throws codes too, specifically on the 2009 models. So idk... i've gotten used to my cel It adds character!!

 

The only guy that mentions a CEL in that thread is orangecrush and he states that it was related to an injector timing issue, not the EP DP.

All that being said, it seems like modding will soon be relegated to rocket scientists as emissions standards continue to get tighter. (Mental Note: I need to add dealer tags to the performance section of the website. )

 

I can't wait to get my dos intake installed! It's probably sitting in a massive airplane right now waiting to make the journey across the Atlantic.

 

I re-read that thread and your right. Sorry for the misinformation guys. lol I need to start reading books again, my reading comprehension is on an 8th grade level right now apparently.
