How exactly is the S5 TMI any better?

iceblue

Biger = betor. I thought they were the same.

Cybaster

The S5 IC has slightly bigger tubes and a slightly bigger inlet connection. It flows ~5% better than the S4 IC based on pressure drop measurements. It is not directly interchangable with the S4 one because the S5 UIM (which supports the TMIC) is higher that the S4's, so the mounting brackets are different.

RETed

The Kouki S5 IC has a 2.0" (or 50mm for our metric bretheren ) inlet.
The Zenki S4 IC has a 1.75" inlet.
That makes it NOT swappable, unless you change out the hose...
