I don't understand why you don't want to hear logical opinions and why you would rather believe a dyno that says a BMW's hp peaks at 5000RPM and a 325 has 233 ib-ft of torque. You guys can always just send the intakes back. Just because you own them doesn't mean you have to blindly defend them.

The dyno is way off. It should be explained before this intake has any legitamacy. We're not haters, just not blind-faithers.

don't wanna step on any toes but,
i always thought that changing the intake alone was a waste (power wise). however, if you change the intake, exhaust and cpu then you tend to see pretty good dyno numbers that actually translate to a noticable power increase on the street/track. of course, you could just wait for an add-on turbo or supercharger, but who would want to do that.

the point is, if you see the torque numbers from the dyno sheet, where even the number for the stock intake number is way off from stock published number, one should think to himself, hey, there's no way this can be right and it should be retested. if need be, a second opinion from another dyno may be needed (yes, i know not all dynos are the same). my $0.03 (adjusted for inflation). btw... believe me, i really want to see a decent aftermarket intake for the e90, but when you see weird numbers like the ones posted, you can't help but question what is being offered.

sometimes i think certain people here think like they're always right and it gets worse when these haters only put negative comments in this forum, not being helpful whatsoever for a fact no one cant trust those dyno numbers alone and i know for a fact that buying an intake will not increase my hp or anything and i bet lots of people know that too..the only thing i usually notice from an aftermarket intake is the different sound it produces thats all but i dont care, its my money and i worked my ass off being a dishwasher to buy insignificant mods..its my passion ya know, i get that amazing sense of accomplishment once i get any kinda mods installed and if anyone here gets offended by my post just pm me, say what u wanna say and i'll respect that i would like to thank diesel and james too for this GB, no matter what everyone says about the intake |

So here it goes- the stock airbox does an excellent job of keeping hot engine bay air out of the intake because it is completely sealed. The only possible way of improving on this design is by using a material that doesn't conduct heat as well. If you look at the design of the Britalman it is clear that the tiny heat shield would do a terrible job of keeping the hot engine bay air out. The Britalman is also not a cold-air intake, so there is no possible way that the Britalman delivers the air nearly as cold as the stock airbox. More than likely, this is why they dynoed the car with an open hood, to eliminate this problem and produce artificial results. So the only way it could have hp gains is if it flowed a ton more efficiently(needs to be a TON because the air is hotter), enough to offset the loss from the hot air. This would require a significant difference in flow, but it is almost impossible that there is that big of a difference between the air filter in the Britalman v. stock air filter. But lets suppose the air filter in the Britalman is just that much better(very unlikely)-then just buy the air filter the Britalman kit uses and put it in the stock airbox to get even greater gains than Britalman.
