AFE Magnum FORCE Stage-2 SI intake Review

So, finally ended up installing my AFE Intake Stage2-Si.
I am not too good in posting long threads so I'll do what I can.
If I have to describe it in one word it will be WOW

I took the standard black cover model as I am not a fan of carbon fiber looks under the hood. The install was very easy and the product is great quality. The MAF position is almost identical to the OEM intake and from other threads that I read on this AFE model should not cause problems(there is an adapter plate that has to be added on the Magnum FORCE Stage-2 PRO version).

For the ones that are saying that the intake doesn't give any difference in power I really don't know what to respond... It can't be just my imagination and placebo effect. I do have the BMS Powerbox so maybe it does help... The car now pulls harder and through the whole rpm range. The sound difference compared to the OEM one is not huge as this is a closed intake box version but there is a sound difference on WOT. It sounds eager and adds something extra combined to my BMW PE.

I personally do thing that it is a great alternative to an EuroBox.

Here is a picture (sorry for bad quality, iphone)
