Soudns great though!

THanks, however, this car has nothing but an intake and people ask us what exhause we have, that's how aggressive the sound is. Imagine if you put an exhaust on it. The reason we test it without the exhaust is so you can be amazed at the sound the car makes with the INTAKE ONLY.

Like you said you have a similar sound, but you also have exhaust, that is how good this intake is.

With that said, let's try and keep this about BavDom Intake.

hey bav... i know you dont want to show your intake yet.. but could you at least provide us with a sound clip of the hood up and rev? (just point the camera to something else)

yes, to be honest we had a better video with a lot more shots but we've misplaced our firewire and couldn't resist posting up that one taken with a regular digital camera.

I will do the one with the hood up today

Most all the intakes I have seen (heard) in person make the car noticeably louder.

Eastmeetswest · 05-10-2007, 04:25 PM

Well I think a thread piquing peoples interest in intakes should include an intake that sounds virtually the same as yours that already exists. I had my AFE on before exhaust and it sounded almost identical to that sound clip-plus yours is not available yet-so to people who maybe were in the market immediatly I was giving a suggestion.

Plus competition is what keeps the market going-all I am saying is there is a tried and true one out there with the same sound-what makes yours "better"? is all I am saying? Any gains that you are seeing?

shragon · 05-10-2007, 05:05 PM

looking fwd to seeing the design of the intake.

Cant wait for the GB!

mikeman · 05-10-2007, 05:38 PM

nice work bavdom...

i didnt think any more parts for the 330/325 would be made since the 335 kind of killed the mod market for the 330/325...i love you for making this intake.

It does sound real nice!

montreal_bimmer · 05-10-2007, 06:08 PM

sounds great..... ballpark figure... how much???

BavDom · 05-10-2007, 08:49 PM

So many questions! I love it.

1. I understand you would want to compare, that's fine

. We have yet to dyno the car to see comparisons in performance but my butt dyno is very confident.

2. The design will have in mind what is already popular. Expect a CF finish. We do not intend on reinventing the wheel but using what we already know and have to make better and improve.

3. As far as pricing goes, BavDom is not in this business for the money but for the enthusiasts and the thrill of these cars. It will be a fair price, like all our products. Definetely drastically below the leading intake as of right now, not because it's not as good (because BavDom's is better), but because we have people's pockets in mind.

Although I understand why you want them, we won't offer any, at least not yet. Just like the M3 was underwraps for so long.

Just as any product we sell, we provide first dibs to e90post members since you are enthusiast brothers. When the intake is ready we will have a GB here before we launch it to the general public (outside of e90post i.e. our wholesale customers, etc..) There are some details i will let you know of later. But first thing is first, let's dyno this monster:rocks:

such a tease!

BavDom · 05-11-2007, 12:27 PM
