E90 stock/aftermarket intakes
This thread is started to get people's view on the aftermarket and stock intakes. It is a discussion, not a 'those dyno results look photoshoped' thread. I have no associations with any of the companies, nor do I own an aftermarket intake. THAT MEANS: I am not here to defend one company or another. so PLEASE dont flame me.....im quite fragile . HAHAHA. j/p With that said, I am trying to figure out why I would put up 400 bux for an intake for gains that are comparable if I were to 'ghetto' it (ie, take the charcoal filter out).
Ive just spent the last hour reading about these aftermarket intakes and 'free horse power' threads, and something dawned on me. Has anyone removed their charcoal filter and dynoed the result? This is only an educated guess, but I think the results would come out similar to the after-market intakes. How much LESS do you think we'd gain if we were to do the same as those m5 members? Members here claim they feel the difference. Wishful thinking or truth? And if its the truth, wouldnt it be substantial gain to feel the difference? Say, +9hp +14tq? So back to the main question/point: for $400, these company will provide you with an intake that will provide the same gain as removing the charcoal filter in the stock box? What do you guys think? Are my reasoning abilities clouded by the stick-icky in my system? |

For the real power greedy fanatics, why wouldn't you remove the filter and buy the intake and possibly get about 20 more horses?
