I don't know a lot about S or Clubman but if you're installing one, why not get one that gives you power as well?

I hear the DoS CAI is the favorite for the S cars, reported great sound and some power gain. Don't know if there is one for the Clubman or not. Way at WayMotorWorks can probably help you out.

I just had the DoS CAI installed. It is an amazing CAI and you will hear your BOV (Diverter) without the plug installed.

+1 on the DoS. There's a 6th group buy right now and 3 spots left. I'm one of them. Come join. Looks like this may be the last group buy ... at least for a while and I've read good things about it.

I recently purchased a K&N intake system from a vendor on Ebay for around $210 shipped. It bolts on in about 15 minutes. Nothing like hearing that BOV go WOOOOSH!!

NM Hi-flow for the 2011 N18 motor. I like that it comes with a CARB Cert Sticker. Purchased from Way. I like it. Added the Forge Valve at the same time.

I know Way and he is not a big fan of the DoS CAI (I have one and love it!). He has admitted on this site that it does produce the most turbo noise. Way sells CAI's from DDM Works which I understand are quality products. As I said, I love my DoS CAI and would recommend you talk to Clint at DoS if you are interested.

Just like Way, Clint is a straight-up guy and will answer any questions that you might have. Give him a call.

what kind of HP gains have other members seen using DDMWorks Race Intake System ?

it looks like it will work great, but, i'd like to know if this is the best bang for my $ to increase HP without risking my warranty or touching the engine.

is there a GB for this anytime soon?
