Injen Intake Question
Hey guys, just curious for all those who have an N55 335xi E92 and have an Injen Intake installed, do you guys like it? I dont know why, but for some reason, i installed it the other day and have been driving for a few days, but when at a read light and then i start to drive by slowly pressing the gas pedal, i sounds like it takes in so much air and it just sounds as if something is wrong with the car, not sure if thats the way its supposed to be but i followed all instructions when installing, so I am not sure.
Please let me know guys. |

Completely normal man. It sounds like a surge of air but that's because the sound is amplified. I took mine out after a while because I didn't like the piping and was rubbing my hood.

Not sure how leaking air sounds like lol, if i did, i'd be able to answer my question if i installed it properly or not lol
but yea, it does sound like a surge of air, i dont know if i like that, because when in NY, nothing but read lights, but my car sounds as if its inhaling a whole lot of air for those first 3 - 5 seconds, depending on how fast i accelerate. |

its normal. once you get the hang of your pedal you can actually control the sound lol. you need to adjust the piping if its rubbing against anything. i have the full injen intake where it goes from left to the right of the engine. i have no rubbing or problems.

Hey guys, well I unfortunately did have rubbing, so I adjusted it and i think that there is no more rubbing, but unfortunately there is a deep "scratch" on it now at one point where the hood met the pipe. I like the injen as well, BUT that sound is killing me.
BUT, what I have found out the other day is that when I am on Map 0, i barely have this sound issue, but when I am in Map 1 or Map 2 on my JB4, thats when the sound kicks in, its seriously so freakin annoying. I was in Map 2 this morning, driving at 80mph and keeping steady at around 2.5rpm and i hear that freakin sound, it so annoying lol so i had to turn it to Map 0 just to enjoy the quiet ride in the morning lol |

Do you need to reprogram the ECU when changing the intake?

if i had to do it all over again, id prolly get it done in an hour, but this is my first bmw so i took my time and was cautious! plus i didnt have all the right tools for the job so it was a bit hard to get under a few places.
