Know of A GOOD Air INTAKE FOR 2011 135i N55??????

4GETIT · 07-08-2011, 03:41 PM

I recently had the Agency Power down-pipe, mid-pipe, and muffler installed on car along with JB3. Car runs great and now that all the air can flow through the exhaust system easier, I would like to be able to allow more air to pass into the turbo via the intake.

I have heard good and bad results from N54 owners but nothing from N55.

I heard the stock one is pretty nice.

Agency Power - nice.
was look'n at the mustang dyno -

The curve looks nice with the DP.
the ti tips are very nice.
the intake is going add alot of sound -
performance may drop off up top ( 5.5-7k rpm) without
affecting anything in the middle of your powerband.

The combo that work'd for me was DP and Intake without
tune. The tune just adds another level of insanity.
There's not alot of restriction from the stock intake
box - airflow wise.

check out some of the reviews -
I have the injen intake and enjoy the induction
sound from the cabin. you'll hear the DVs very
clearly. It's summer time and it's going through
it's pace now to see if the heat plays a factor into
this mod. Cold weather - it's fun to have so far.

Stick with stock, if you are going to seriously race the car / track it then stock is better since aftermarket intakes will produce heat soak faster.

dicker · 07-08-2011, 06:09 PM

stock works great.

I'm thinking about just getting an AFE drop in filter for mine. I'm gonna stay with the stock box though.
