VRSF intake review (sound clip coming soon)
Hello everyone, today I will be reviewing the VRSF engine bay intakes I ordered from mike@x-ph.com. These intakes were $220 shipped from extreme powerhouse so I figured I'd give them a shot since they were so cheap.
Installation: Installation was simple, but it took me about 1.5 hours. I watched Tommy L garage's installation on YouTube (thanks tommy) on his dinan intakes which helped me out with installing these VRSF's. Fitment: I would rate fitment an 8/10, took a little bit of patience to get everything installed and to get clearance with the CF brace and the intakes. Everything else was pretty straight forward and very similar fitment/design to the BMS intakes. Performance: This intake retains the bottom half of the stock airbox and the factory air snorkels which is great, so I know I'm not losing airflow compared to the stock airbox. I don't see much of a noticeable difference with power using my butt dyno, but the sound.. Sound: This is why I decided to buy intakes in the first place. The sound is intoxicating. You can hear the turbo swoosh and spool so much, even with the windows fully up. I've turned heads from people who hear It outside the car.. literally sounds like some type of spaceship flying past people. For $220 It makes me smile every time I get into boost. 100% worth It for me |

A few people have installed these intakes without the bottom half of the box. And I think the reason why they did that was because they didn't know that It could still fit perfectly fine with these intakes. As you can see from the picture, the finger is pointing to a factory air duct that gets air from the grill area and spits It straight on the intake. That's why the bottom half of the airbox is great.

I also ordered this intake from x-ph. Instead of buying drop in filters I decided to why not spend a few more dollars. For 209 dollars, I had a 10 coupon from buying the aa mid pipes a couple of years ago. Intake is coming this week can't wait to get it installed. Can't wait to hear this with alpine tune

People have been promoting these intake setups (bms.. vrsf etc ) but nobody has posted a real video of the cars in action. I've yet to see one good video in almost two years. It's nice to see there's no m tax on these items so I would have expected there to be more buyers. Even for sound alone I'd pay 209 bucks lol
