How do you like it? I've been debating getting one for a while but I don't want the car to sound "ricey" for lack of a better word

Lol I just got a new engine put in under warranty this week so everything's new. I also wiped down the bay with wipes while waiting for the dme to goto sleep so I could unplug the maf sensor.

Gratz on the new mod. I never liked the filter sitting in the intake box like that....guess my Injen is no better sitting in the open though.

47k leaking fuel injector caused detonation in a cylinder and blew a piston.

Nice... I love the look of this intake in the engine bay.

Congrats, looks good

WiL335i · 07-20-2015, 08:09 PM

Holy shit! Hearing stories like this scares me. 47k miles and already getting a new engine. Now imagine that happening out of warranty.

That's 1/100000
That's like you contracting HIV. It's possible, but it wouldn't defer anyone from buying a BMW.

Is the sound a bit annoying on la daily basis ? Isnt too ricey like someone ekse asked ?

vivaladav · 07-21-2015, 09:45 PM

You don't really hear it till after 5,500k rpms I don't drive t hard but it's actually pretty hard to hear when the hood is down and your driving. With music or windows down you can't really hear it lol only stationary.

If you listen you can hear the turbo's spool more then with the stock airbag. Its a great sound.

You're over-thinking it.

No real power gains so do it just for the added sound.

Nothing crazy they claim 10hp to the wheels. I think it feels slightly more responsive on the pedal.
