Intake for xi

YGazis109 · 03-16-2013, 12:04 PM

Can you use aftermarket intake systems like the injen sp or afe cold air intake stage 2 for a 2007 328xi??

Marklorenzo · 03-16-2013, 01:27 PM

Yes.

YGazis109 · 03-16-2013, 02:00 PM

Okay thanks I saw on one website it said no xi when they were selling the afe but another didn't say anything...just checking

dpilat8588 · 03-23-2013, 05:36 PM

I just installed an Injen SP series cold air intake on my 09 328xi and I must say it sounds amazing.

YGazis109 · 03-23-2013, 08:10 PM

so you would recommend the injen...i am torn between the injen or the afe...

SuckMy_Nick · 03-24-2013, 09:32 PM

Injen.

BradZditosky · 03-29-2013, 03:26 PM

I you want any gains, i would go with a sealed intake. The purpose of a "cold" air intake is to get more cold air to your engin quicker. with your typical injen they are just sucking the hot air out of your engin compartment. I went with the aFe Stage 2 Si Dry because it still sucks the cooler air from outside and increases your air flow by almost 60%

YGazis109 · 03-29-2013, 05:17 PM

Yeah i am getting the afe stage 2 sealed intake on Monday with a stage 2 AA tune will post how it runs adter

i got my tune directly from aa and did it myself because i bought their simon programmer

AlpineSwift · 03-29-2013, 08:39 PM

Or you can do what I did and cut the carbon filter out, sand the rough edges down, replace the stock intake tube with silicone intake piping, and drop a K&N in the box. Pretty much the same shit for less than half the price of AFE.

I am getting my afe intake and stage 2 tune from turner Motorsports in Mass

How much and did you find it easy to do and do you feel a difference im thinking BMS or AA

Tru3Story · 03-30-2013, 08:47 PM

You can buy the aFe intake kit. I love it. My boy bought it for his xi and there is 1 small mod you have to do. With a bandsaw you need to cut a 1" by 3" cut reason is there is a bar that connects from side of fender to frame. That's it

i paid $499 for the AA exhaust and $750 for the simon tool and the tune they were very easy to install. and yes i feel a pretty big difference. But do not forget i also have the 3 stage manifold conversion, which that and the tune really work great together. I raced my buddy the other day who has a 330 and right now the only performance mod he has is a injen intake and i was able to beat him so i know the tune made a significant difference sine my car stock only has 225hp and his stock is 255hp. so with all my mods i think i probably gained around 40+ hp at the crank.

YGazis109 · 04-01-2013, 12:48 PM

Just got the intake done with the AA tune omg this thing sounds amazing and def feel the extra pull! Love it so far! Turner Motorsports is great as well!
