Intakes dont include the inlet tubes down to the turbos.

Oh, my mistake. I thought it was just the intake tube. Thank you... added to the list of mods to do. I’d assume this is no more harmful than a CAI in terms of voiding a warranty? Tune needed for this mod?

Well Cobb package came in today.

I guess it’s an ok Intake system. A few things I didn’t really like is that pipes are black but the supporting bracket is silver as well as all the hardware is silver. Seems kinda lame so I had to fix that and got new hardware in black and black bracket. May be my temporary intake system until I’ll find something else.

Keep an eye on the clamp at the AMS tube to the CAI boot. Too tight when it gets hot and itll buckle. Plastic is a lil thin. Too tight it crushes, too loose it falls off. AMS may need to thicken that casting slightly.

Thinking about adding the AMS pipes to go with my S&B intake.... only thing holding me back is others talking about the thin plastic and buckle where the clamps go.

Apparently they realized the issue and made a change.
In another thread, AMS swapped with a new one and it was thicker.
