Performance Intake Installed

Teeeg28 · 12-25-2012, 07:59 PM

Just put in the intake today. Took me about an hour pretty much straight forward on how to install.

Long story short is I love it. Got it for a great price and I definetly feel throttle response improved and while doing 60-80 at around 3k rpm I feel a slightly harder pull

well at least thats what the butt dyno feels like haha. I will be doing a stage 2 tune on the 2nd so I plan to get a dyno done soon after so I will update the thread in the future with results. Check out the pictures below! Also you will notice in one of the pics I also installed some red cyba scoops I got, and after installing those I soon remembered how much I hate removing those stupid clips on the grills!

Anyway, enjoy

mine just made a loud suction sound, the cheap thrill lasted about 3 weeks. almost as fun as installing decals.

wouldn't necessarily call it cheap* ...but I guess we are all entitled to our own opinion. Sounds to me like you regret it, sorry to hear that.

nice, i can confirm your butt dyno is correct, thats how i feel when i got mine.

you will definitely need that intake for your AA tuning.

dont forget when u got AA, give it min. 1 tank gas to adapt new setting or u will be sorry when u hit the dyno

Very nice mod and sorry to go off topic but I see in your signature that you got two 10" subs, how did you go about the rear deck rattle when blasting music?

inline6ix · 12-26-2012, 01:21 AM

I've got this same intake on my 325i and I love it. The butt dyno definitely shows some improvement of some sort over stock, plus the CF finish on the whole thing looks really good under the hood. It's a little pricey over some other intakes, but all OEM BMW Performance parts are anyways.

Going through parking garages is also much more addicting now, I can't get enough of the sound.

Congrats on the new intake, I would get one if I could get a good deal too. The "butt dyno" is the best one to listen to. The math on the intake = better performance too, larger intake channel + high flow filter + better path to engine = happy motor and better throttle response.

And you guys wonder why the rest of the world holds you in such disregard...I'm pleased for the OP and hope you enjoy it - wish I could afford one.

Amini77 · 12-26-2012, 05:01 AM

I want one now lol! Well I'll need an intake too before I get my tune, along with catless headers! Can't wait!

MonsterM · 12-26-2012, 11:12 AM

Congrats! I went with the Eurobox due to lower cost but that Performance Intake looks real good. Let me know what you think about the AA tune, I am getting mine done sometime next week.
