Question: Will the BPI Flow Stack fit my intake?

Answer: The quickest way to determine if the BPI Flow Stack will fit your intake system is to find a measuring tape. Remove the air filter from your intake system. Now measure the diameter of the intake tubing. Based on the measurment you can select the desired option below. Measurment Flow Stack Comments 2.75" +/- .06" VS300600 A reducer coupling is mandatory 3" +/- .06" VS300600 Can use kit ASM30601 3.25" +/- .06" VS300600 or VS350600 A reducer coupling is mandatory 3.5" +/- .06" VS350600 Can use kit ASM35601 3.75" +/- .06" VS350600 A reducer coupling is mandatory

Question: My intake does not fit your Flow Stack, can I use a reducer coupling?

Answer: You can use a reducer coupling to couple your BPI Flow Stack to an intake system that does not match the outlet diameter of the velocity stack being consider. BPI recommends that your intake system tubing diameter not be more 0.25" larger or smaller than the outlet diameter of the BPI Flow Stack. For example the BPI VS300600 has a 3" outlet, so it is recommended that you not couple this stack to your intake if your intake tubing diameter is larger than 3.25" or smaller than 2.75". This recommendation is based on dyno test data for the VS300600 that showed that a 2.75" intake system with reducer coupling still provided performance enhancements though not as significant when the velocity stack and intake are properly matched. Dyno testing was also performed on a turbo application that showed that a 3.5" intake system flowed equivalent to 3" intake system with the BPI Flow Stack, VS300600.

Question: Can I use my current filter with the BPI Flow Stack?
Answer: No, you cannot use your current intake's filter with the BPI Flow Stack. All current available BPI Flow Stacks utilize a 6" flanged filter. These means that the filter was designed to clamp to 6" tubing, so unless you were running a 6" intake system, your filter will not properly fit the BPI Flow Stacks.

Question: Can I use another brand of air filter?
Answer: Yes. The BPI Flow Stack untilizes a 6" flanged filter, meaning the filter is designed to couple to 6" tubing. There are a other manufacturers that develop a 6" flanger filter.

Question: The K&N RF-1048 Filter is too big for my application. Is there a smaller filter?

Answer: Yes. The K&N RF-1048 filter is has a height of 6". The filter element tapers from a 4.5" to a 7.5" diameter. This a much larger filter that most of the standard 3" cone filters available with aftermarket intake system. THe K&N RU-4600 is a compact alternative that is often used on cold air intake systems in which the filter is positioned behind the bumper. The K&N RU-4600 tapers from a 4.5" to a 7.5" diameter, but is only 4" in height.

Question: Do you ship to my country?
Answer: Yes, BPI will make every effort to ship to almost anywhere in the world. Understand that it can be rather expensive to ship to some countries, sometimes costing as much as the order.

Question: I placed my order. Now what?

Answer: Domestic orders will generally be processed within 24 hours and will ship within 48 hours via FedEx Ground services. Once your order is processed you will receive the FedEx Ground tracking information via email. This tracking number can be tracked by visiting FedEx.com. Please not that orders are only processed and shipped Monday through Friday, so if you place your order on Friday, your order will likely be processed and shipped the following week. International orders will generally be processed and shipped within 72 hours. Our international orders are shipped via USPS Priority Mail due to the signficantly lower costs in shipping internationally, which we can then pass on to our customers. USPS International Priority Mail tracking information will be sent via email.

Question: Do you make custom size Flow Stacks?

Answer: BPI can design and manufacturer any size velocity stack, but currently we only offer our velocity stacks in injection molded PA66 Nylon. The tooling for the injection mold process makes this approach impractical for small volume runs. If you are considering a high volume design for a new application, then the injection molding process will be more economical. BPI is investigating machine shops to consider machining custom, small-volume requests. This should be a viable solution sometime in late 2008.

Question: Do you offer group buys?
Answer: BPI does offer group buy discounts. The only restrictions are that payment must be received from a single purchaser, and the of the order will only be shipped to a single address. BPI will not process and ship to the individual participants of the group buy. Please contact us at sales@bpinitiatives.com for group buy discounts.
