Nothing, either do a carbon delete/K&N drop in or get a BMW perfromace exhaust. The AFE sound is awesome and I don't think a closed intake can duplicate it. Just get a BMW performance exhaust and you wont give a shit about the engine note, the exhaust note will be music to your ears.

so damn long ago!
Shouldn't be hard to swap back, should it?
Trying to remember what it was like to put it in- I remember I had some sort of issue with the screws on the sensor.
I may swap it out and see.
Problem is, too, that I drive the car, well..... never..... so it's hard to make comparisons.
2006 with 12,000 miles- that pic is last year (Fall) with the 12k.
Oh, yeah...... I hate you guys.
Couldn't you just have said "Yeah, the AFE adds like 50 whp"

is the carbon delete similar to charcoal filter removal or are they 2 different things?
