Difference in matched inlets?

[CuppyDean]

Hi guys,
Going to get matched inlets on my car in the next few weeks, just wondering what difference if any is which inlets are matched, i.e jms do upper and lower, ktec just do lower, is there any more bhp achieved with lower and upper or are both the same?

Many thanks

Should get more from getting both matched. Seems silly to me doing one and not the other.

Matched lower is what ktec offer, maybe someone else can shed some light on this?

KTEC will offer both im sure.

Jamsport - I got mine from Mark.

how much are we looking at for matched inlets?

Nope i pm'd ktec and asked if it was upper and lower and they said it just consists of lower, and jms dont do exchange basis no more just in house fitment

Jamsport were £140 i think for upper and lower on exchange basis

Thats a good deal can still anyone shed any light if any power is achieved by matching both inlets instead of 1?

You would need both yes, would be no point really having just the lower match.

My thought on it anyway.

Has to be both sections to get the full benefit.

Quite strange on how ktec only offer lower, maybe they do offer both but when i asked this bex replied and just said lower, maybe a typo or they only do offer lower inlets, anyone had inlets from ktec?

no more power just picks up better from low down, 3 feels MUCH better

So now more bhp gains just better lower down power, imo (dont know alot about this lol) i would of thought it would be better and bhp to have both done rather than one, however im sure ktec have an answer to why they only do lower

hard to tell what bhp difference there is cos most people to it with a re-map but like most have said i would do both, that should help with with air flow and improved response, not all about bhp more about how it delivers it tbh.....

I gave jamsport a pm, hopefully they will have some exchange in stock

The lower one is known to have the worse casing... i also had them both done , but the lower one counts the most
