BMC CDA

[Jarre]

Guys,

I want a BMC CDA on my dini. i searched around a lot and it seems i need the CDA70-130.
is this correct?

Been searching and searching and the cheapest i can find is 185euro (158gbp) shipping included.
(i live in belgium, filter comes from germany)

Just wanted to make sure i wouldn't order a wrong one

Do i also need other hosing or is it plug&play?

thx!!

People say the bmc panel filter is better then the cda

yeah i read that the panel filter gains more hp at the fly but the bmc more at the wheels.
however, i don't believe in gaining hp by other filters, i just want a bit of more sound from a reliable kit without modding my exhaust...

does the panel filter also give sound?

Tbh the difference is tiny and the CDA will sound a lot better. It's not a car for 0-60 runs so go with whichever will put a smile on your face. I love my filter tbh

Ghostz was lucky to find one on a second hand website (something like kapaza.be) from a guy who accidently ordered the wrong one so Ghostz got a 'new' for a pretty good price.

Tbh, if you can afford it, go for the CDA.. first time I heard it on Ghostz car it sounded like a monster growling.

& yes you're going to need some hoses. Well you can use the original pipes and the hose that comes with the filter but for a nice fit, you're going to need some silicone hoses.

and one of these to put at the end of the CDA: https://www.autosiliconehoses.com/silicone-hose-shop/performance-silicone-hoses/coupling-silicone-hoses.html

I used this website before and they have a very good service. About 3 days to be delivered to your house and prices are good.

thx movingshadow
i checked kapaza and 2dehands and there are some new ones on it, but i think they are fake. read about it on the internet.
i asked for the bmc number and they say there is nothing on it so i am going to buy new one i think.
also thanks for the silicones hoses, going to order them also right now

do you know what sizes of hoses i need to order??

You get a discount if you look with ASH.

You need a 70mm elbow. I decided not to buy from ASH as I got a stepped 70-76mm elbow for mine, to remove the need for an coupling like MS has described.

Also remember the breather pipe either needs a catch tank, filter or attaching to the intake somewhere.

ok thx, you know what size i need on the other side?

According to this https://www.bmcairfilters.com/air-intake-systems/cda-carbon-dynamic-airbox/accda70-130_d201_1.aspx

You don't even need the coupling... The elbow being 70mm would fit both throttle body and filter side. Would give you some more space to fit a cold air feed.

ok, i think i will just wait until the bmc arrives and then take a look

thanks for all the answers!
