European air intake mod.
Okay, I just finished installing the euro air box into my car. So far, it seems to make the car rev easier and harder. Here are some pics of the install.

does this work better than a Injen short ram intake?

significantly, as it provides smoother and increased airflow with much less heatsoak
also to op If you don't mind sharing what did this cost? I have a semi heat shielded short ram intake, but now that I got the exhaust, I don't really need the extra intake sound

I like the euro box better because unlike the "Injen" and other intakes, the filter element is enclosed and shielded from the rest of the engine bay. i.e. It is getting the coldest air possible from the front of the car. With these other systems, IMO, there seems to be a possibility that heat from the rest of the engine bay could "leak" into the intake.
If you take a look at my pictures, you will see that there is no possible way for heat from the engine bay to foul up the cold air. Just my .02. I have no experience with these other intakes, but the euro intake seems like the best bang for the buck. AND ITS OEM!!!! BMW can't say nothin' about it because it is an oe part. Take that warranty!! Btw, this thing pulls way harder than it ever did before. You'll find yourself hitting the rev limiter before you know it. |

As to heat soak, I did heat soak mine but only because it sat in the sun for a while after some spirited driving .. and noticed some performance lagging after getting back into it. I did find that after I installed some scoops I no long experience it .. just another reason to install them.

You need K&N #E-2022 which is a cone filter specifically designed for the Euro box. Can be found online for around $50 shipped...

Depends on which version you buy. They have one that includes the box & lid - and one that includes box, lid, & filter
