Just got a afe stage 2 (duel cone w/heatshield and front scoops) intake for my 335i..I hear everyone say how good it sounds etc.. I installed this system and it sounds the same as stock?? LOL

any comments?

hmm....

Pretty much the same here ... slightly louder overall, but nothing drastic or really noticeable.

I have not even heard the legendary "spool" noise, except when I turn the car off, you can hear them spooling down more clearly than stock.

maybe some of those people are running with catless DPs and aftermarket exhausts?

Injen DCI here and I can clearly hear the turbo spool when stepping on it and can clearly hear the DV as well (much more at high RPM). I don't even have a tune yet and it sounds really great !

Are you running a tune??

I could hear my turbos when I just had my COBB tune on, but now it's even more audible w/ my aFe intake

+1
Tune is needed to really hear them although some people are more sensitive then others.

I have the aFe stage 2 cold air intake and you can definitely hear the wooshing inside the cabin. Try opening up your windows and drive fast

[benzy89]

Heard it all morning, from a stop if you give 75% throttle or more you'll hear the turbos from about 1800 RPMS up to 4k easily.

deff overplayed about how loud the afe is. Its slightly louder that stock airbox.

Idk about that, then again I never bothered w/ a drop-in filter with the stock box. Going from the OEM box w/ a paper filter to the aFe there's def a significant difference in sound. The BMS DCI is supposed to be a little more audible.

Just installed my Cobb programmer with my Stage 2 AFE and someone is crazy if they can't hear the turbo spooling.....it's almost too loud for the daily driver.....I'll take it though......

[ashmostro]

Mine is also only slightly louder than stock. Noticeable but not as much as i was expecting.

[Rich150001]

So I forgot to completely close my hood one day and the "spool" sound with the AFE intakes was significantly louder. Normally though, I can barely hear or feel a difference from the AFEs. I will have to try AFE + Cobb soon to see if I feel/hear any difference with that.

Do you have the oiled or dry filters ?
