On another note I found a cigarette butt in the bottom of my intake case --a cigarette butt! How the hell does that happen anyway??
I put my stock intake filter back- I'm just desperate to get rid of this crazy rattling and going through some troubleshooting steps. Anyone have experience with this HP AUTOWERK foam intake oiled filter? |

Ah so more preventing a problem before it starts then? Just upon visual inspection, that foam definitely LOOKS like it would allow more air flow than stock.
But then the oil seems like it would impede it. Like how mucus in the lungs makes it hard to breathe? Guess it's a good thing for the public at large I'm not a doctor |

Just change the charcoal version you guys in the US have and change it with the Euro paper version! No hassle, no cleaning and best flow

Looking at your performance mods - i would say look into a chargepipe if you haven't already. An intake for our N55 adds great induction sound, but performance wise, very minimal gains. For what you pay for - get a drop in filter (like K&N, afe, harold's HP foam filter) for your stock box. The many variables for FBO is not necessary to achieve max power for N55. Tune and catless downpipe ur biggest winner. If you had no tune but catless downpipe + intake -- then that's another story. that will add up. If you're look'n for induction sound either of your listed choices is fine.
