Inlets back ordered
Can you move my order to the head of the line. The inlets are back ordered until the end of the year.

Intake is still in stock (albeit probably not for much longer) and would ship immediately. Depending on who you ordered through would determine how soon it would get there. Ordered through the Dinan UK importer you would be reliant on when they order (typically do a monthly pallet or container order). If done through an e-tailer with direct shipping it really just matters what shipment method you select with them. Same goes if you order direct via phone. |

Only stock air box it Dinan intake will work with inlets. PG are silicon and round vs inlets are way larger and more oval shaped so no way to clamp them together unless a custom dented pipe is made which is round and one side and oval on the other.

If Dinan would hold back some inlets for those who buy the whole intake, I would buy the whole intake, if not, I would just buy the inlets.

Hi. I ordered turbo inlets over a week ago and on the website, it said that it was expected to ship by 12/23/2021. Now it looks like the website has updated, saying it will ship 1/31/2022. Is my order getting delayed by over a month or is it just taking a few extra days to ship because of the holidays? I want to be sure because if my order isn’t even going to ship until February, I’d need to change my shipping address or maybe cancel my order and go for a different system instead.
I was going to buy the dinan intake that says it will be in stock tomorrow as well but now I’m having second thoughts because I can’t be sure that it will ship by the 30th, which is when you guys state it is estimated to ship on the website. |

Got a partial shipment in last week of the missing carbon (week and a half late) that will satisfy about a third of the backorders. Production this last week was essentially a maintenance shift so they have not been started and a build order for those has not been put into the system yet. I would assume that will happen in the next few days so that first batch of the oldest backorders will probably be shipped mid January is my guess. The balance of that batch of carbon is scheduled to arrive the end of the month now so for the balance of the backorders you are probbaly looking at early February on the inlets. Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt since everything seemingly continues to be fluid.

Current rough ETA's are early March for the next round of inlet carbon (will NOT clear current backorder) and July for the intake (severely backed up carbon supply chain). Originally intakes were backed all the way up to October/November but we were able to reslot it /rearrange priorities a bit with the carbon vendor. Not ideal, but at least "better."

To be honest its subtle. Under heavy acceleration, you'll hear the induction and turbo spool, but its not loud enough to be heard without the windows down and stereo turned down. The responsiveness is more noticeable... actually very noticeable. Another potential difference is the exhaust seems to pop and overrun more than before... at least it sounds that way In summary if you want more responsive acceleration, this is it. If you want improved sound that's noticeable inside and outside the car, all the time, I can't say this does it beyond being subtle (unless the overruns and pops are truly more prominent as I'm thinking)

I just got the intake installed, does your hood close the same or is it a lot tighter than before. It almost feels like it's hitting something but pushing hard it just closes. The release is super tight too. |

If you want I can take a pic of what the layout looks like if you want to compare and see what may be out of place? Did you screw the front panel portion of the intake down? It should look factory flush

Have a look at these to see if they help, the overall clearance and side profile seems to look about the same.
One thing to check and have a look at is the hood release cable... maybe your sitting to tight or hard on it, making it stiffer and having full movement? Let me know if you need a better picture of how its laid out on mine (I can't see it clear and free on yours)
