Put OEM Fiter back in?

Luvmybmw · 02-24-2009, 09:53 AM

Replaced Dry Paper OEM Air filter (at 5000 miles) with Helene Performance Streamline Fiter and having no problems. Don't feel any difference in the way the car runs. I do have the Dinan Stage 2, but no other performance Mods. What would you do?

If its already in, why change? It may flow a bit better then stock and last longer.. Id just leave it in.

From just changing your filter?
You will never feel a difference.

Get the Riss intake... and cp-e axle-back exhaust.. then she'll purr. Great combo - you can hear the turbos spool, she breathes easier, and the exhaust note is fantastic, with no drone. Should gain a few ponies as well.

I just ordered the Dinan Stage 2 and want to throw up after looking at the $2k on my CC bill.. but I hope it's worth it!!

from just a filter you wont feel any difference but you'll probably see your MPG go up. i would leave it in.
