Quite possibly, though I don't seem to have that issue for other vids on IG. Anyhow, never mind. Glad it works!

I'm considering buying an N52 powered car just for this - can you please just post that information here? I don't have social media.

That's a happy dyno, but great mid range gains. I expected more at top end.

they mention directly that up high they are having timing corrections with the stock exhaust manifolds, in comparison to full exhaust. 254whp stock exhaust to 269whp with 3 inch and milvs

They have a picture of a link? Again, that extremely optimistic of that dyno. No one is making 250whp on a 3Stage without headers or exhaust.

This dyno that Chilledn52 posted is not of my car, but a stock exhaust (aftermarket muffler) 328i with just the velocity stacks vs Afe intake box+3si. The stock exhaust manifolds are choking it up top.

Here in this photo you can see my run with headers in red added in and how it pulls ahead in the top end.

Thank you! I'm thinking about 15whp more with similar setups - plus a broader powerband. Is this open trumpets, or filters?

This is with open trumpets no filter. There will be a panel filter and cold air feed option once the runners are throughly tested.

And yep 15whp gain up top on mine over the n54im, and 10-20wtq gained across the low to midrange. Feels really good driving

The velocity stacks sound amazing! Does the traction control still work with the throttle body removed? I thought the TB was how the ECU cuts power to the rear wheels not through Valvetronic

Were different lengths attempted? I recall BPC did something similar and it made more power than the 3 stage at all RPMs. I have to look and see if I can find them.

I think it's a great deal if your DISA valves need to be replaced
