By the way, I will have some of these intakes for sale in a few weeks. Probably priced at 380 shipped.

Was the baseline comparison dyno done on the same day?

I am still glad I got it. Better sound with no loss of power Im happy with that. Plus it looks great.

yea, at least you didn't lose hp.

Pretender · 07-24-2006, 05:48 PM

Well, so far all intakes have been garbages on HP. Don't you think the e90 design was already optimized the air intake and there's nothing else we can improve over that?

Lets see some pictures please...

RichP · 07-26-2006, 07:45 AM

Ill snap some pics tomorrow, engine bay needs some cleaning and I have been at work late all week.

I can not wait to get mine. How long for the install? Also how were the directions?

deez330 · 09-20-2006, 06:43 PM

directions were..

pretty vague

but its not that hard to figure out

it also says on the "function and features" sheet that was included:

"Tests have proven that the application of this unit can increase ten times as much horsepower."

lolol
