Good morning,
I’ll be the first to acknowledge that aftermarket CAI/Intakes on modern vehicles do very little, if anything at all when it comes to performance. That combined with filters that are usually less efficient typically results in me staying stock.
The Giulia basically comes with a CAI from factory so I had every intention of keeping it stock. However, I wanted to hear a bit more turbo, since in stock form the vehicle is extremely quiet. I stumbled on this kit from Burger Motorsports which utilizes an S&B element. At $155 out the door, it’s much cheaper than the $450+ alternatives. It’s also the only system that retains all factory components with the exception of element. According to S&B the element is good for 99% efficiency using course dust during ISO 5011 testing. Not as good as my preferred AEM DryFlow, but not horrible.
She’s not the prettiest system in the world. But now I get to satisfy my inner child with some turbo noises.
Edit: I’ve already reported this to be moved to Air Filters. My mistake!
