I believe they chose aluminum to keep cost down! Carbon fiber was brought up but using aluminum keeps cost down and looks nice!! Some of these kits out there are all carbon fiber , which is the reason why they have a msrp of like 8oo bucks!

One of my biggest concerns is the rubber joint that attaches the metal elbow to the engine's intake. This small rubber piece has two clamps attached to it. With the stock air intake, the ingress and egress diameters are different on this joint. Is this AFE filter rubber piece the same diameter at the front and rear or different? I wouldn't want this to pop off after a driving my car over a bumpy road.

I am curious to se dyno results now as it sounds pretty good.

Man it seems like everywhere you go, there is always at least one hater!

Yeah its still on for $395!!

Ryan@Motorwerks · 07-17-2006, 10:33 AM

It's not ghetto, just giving you guys a hard time.

Looking forward to see how this compares to the dinan one which should be coming out with around the same price.

this intake will be 800 less than then the dinan so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Doubt it considering the intake for the e46 cost only $300. I Don't think we are gonna see any markups nearly that large.

I was thinking of the M3 one sorry. I just ordered the Bimmian/Simota intake. I should have it in 3 weeks. I will let everyone know how it is.

Hunter399 · 07-18-2006, 02:10 PM

I have been considering that intake...

i want to wait and see what the dinan has to offer before I order

I am curious as well but you cant go wrong on the bimmian for $425 plus shipping.

and1bball919 · 07-19-2006, 02:40 AM

For some reason i honestly dont think that dinan will release their intakes for less than 400

That may very well happen, but the Dinan intake should still be in the same price range as this one. That's all I'm trying to say. I think the Dinan intake will be made available in the range of $500-300 (Pure Speculation).

ALPINE6SPD · 07-21-2006, 02:10 PM

I bet dinan is 595 or 695
