Dinan cai

Interested in a Dinan CAI, will it fit on the ZHP ?

[zhp43867]

Yes both versions will. Are you looking at the box or the long tube?

[JimN9NE]

I have heard good things about the long tube, but aware that Dinan no longer sells them. On their website it only shows the box available i'm pretty sure. Do you have experience with either of them?

lots of people on here have the long tube and love it, I personally would have probably bought it if I didn't get a BMW Performance one. Just look around in the classifieds on the other forums, they pop up now and again

long tube is the way to go. I bet on E46 fanatics someone has one for sale, if not they pop up every now and again.

The long tube is nice. You do run an increased risk of hydrolock with it though. For most it isn't an issue- but you can't say I didn't warn you! If you live in a wet or dusty climate the filter will also get trashed extremely quickly. It has higher gains than the box.

I had the Box. I sold it and just kept the brake tube part- I think I noticed some extra throttle response from the duct- but it could all be in my head. I'd guess the BMW Performance and Dinan box are about equal gain wise- that is to say- 2-5hp.

The Dinan long tube is more along the lines of 5-8hp.

i was told on e46fanatics that the long tube will only fit if i have AL assembly headlights and not ZKW, which of course thats what i have

Yes if you have zkw lights the ballast cannot be relocated. If you have the ALs you can use the M3 relocation bracket to make the available space.

From a GS3, this was sent.
