Both the Toyota GR Supra as well as the BMW Z4 are their respective brands answer to the modern 2-seater sports coupe delivering enhanced driving enjoyment in a compact and stylish frame. With aggressive organic lines used unabashedly throughout, they are unapologetic in their outward style to the point of nearing brashness. This character is limited to driving dynamics and external appearance however, with both the sound and under hood visuals not matching the colorful outer demeanor. The factory air box in particular is an uninspired design, albeit functional, and leaves substantial room for improvement in terms of flow and resulting power gains. It also purposefully includes an intake resonator whose sole purpose is the elimination of turbo/intake noises - the same noises that those in the performance world relish. The Dinan carbon fiber intake for the platform rights these wrongs and delivers an intake capable of flowing 15% more air than the stock system resulting in improved throttle response, additional power and the elimination of a potential roadblock when opting to pursue a high-powered build. At the same time revealing a more aggressive, sporty carbon fiber appearance, and an increase in sound courtesy of the removal of the intake resonator and implementation of a semi-open design.
