Krap's E90 with a couple minor upgrades

krapnoj · 05-04-2009, 10:03 PM

1. I finally got the trim covered up with some black vinyl thanks to Viggs in NJ.

2. Replaced my BMS single cone intake with Stett's CAI

Few thoughts:
- install was relatively easy (thanks to Big Wheez)
- the huge K&N filter sits tightly right in between the headlight & foglight housings (on M-tech)
- sound from turbo's is significantly louder & more pronounced
- throttle feels much more responsive and overall feels more engaging

Sorry for Low-quality pics, they were taken with my Blackberry Storm..

just a thought, how would you keep water from getting into your intake?

Unless you submerge the front end of your car in 3 feet of water, you won't run into any problems with water.

The filter sits above the fog lights. So there are no open gaps from the front bumper that exposes the filter.

Sounds intoxicating! A lot louder and more crisp than my previous setup, which you could only hear during WOT. Now I can hear the turbos when they start spooling in the lower RPM's.

rollyn2night · 05-05-2009, 04:24 PM

Im thinking about going for the same intake as well, plus the FMIC stett are offering looks tempting. Any sound clips or videos of the intake??
