Has anyone installed their afe intake yet?

LongIslandNY135i · 08-21-2008, 09:49 AM

I'm looking to get an intake and the afe looks good. I was wondering how others have liked it and their thoughts on it.

Ill will post a new thread, just keep on the lookout for it.

We have an AFE intake coming in next week for a customer. I will take install photos and post a full review.

I do love the look of the blue filters.

baduncadonk · 08-23-2008, 04:32 PM

Wow, looks fantastic. Can you speak to the volume and pitch of the resulting sound?

Looks like a HKS Blow off Valve.

I do like the look of this intake set-up very nice.

chriscecc914 · 08-23-2008, 05:14 PM

its not much louder then the stock airbox which was the one thing I was disappointed in...as far as performance you can feel it and as far as cold air, it now takes a little longer for the car to get to normal operating temps when Im doing 50+ mph

135i_TT · 08-23-2008, 05:20 PM

looks amazing and the HKS BOV looks clean as well

but still waitn to see RR cuz theyre products are crazy nice =)

I appriciate the comments... All of it was easy to install and works great. Much more pow through the power band... As for sound the intake is very quiet but the blow off valve is crazy loud when you let off the gass....

Dyno here Its somewhere on that post .

ChrisK · 08-24-2008, 05:49 PM

I don't believe that dyno was done by a third party. I am still hesitant. (I see heat soak written all over this)

Agreed. I can't believe BMW's intake design would give up that much hp.

Would be good if you could get that much though

We need someone to see what they get on the dyno.
