Could anybody give some advice? Also the harman motive intake locates the BOV to the front, I read the pro's to that, but what are the cons? What about the MAF on both systems? The breather bungs are included on the HM intake, but not AMS, what is the purpose of those? they say for the factory hoses.

Finally AME has a complete intake kit, but the intake looks strange to me, any comments?

Any help is appreciated.

By the way, I am stock and plan to add the intake with UR Cat back and eventually probably Z-chip with MBC.
Hi Chris, thanks for your interest. The breather bungs are for the factory PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) and boost control vent. This allows you to reconnect everything like stock for trouble free operation.

Our intake is one piece mandrel bent which means it is completely smooth inside. There are no weldments to disrupt airflow.

Repositioning the BOV is done to shorten the hoses, provide smooth return back to the intake, and it makes things look much better.

Our intake was also designed with fuel trims in mind and will not throw off idle or cruise with tunes. Furthermore, the Harman Evo X flash which will be available after SEMA will be available with our intake, exhaust, and intercooler products for the best possible performance out of the box.

Let me know if you guys have any other questions.
