Re: What intake are you on?
Hi Guys,
with the current TC range of BMWs, the original engine air filter element actually has enough surface area to breathe but dependent on the media. If its paper, its ok, if its K&N, you need to ensure you keep it in good shape as in not too much oil. As for pod filters, only go for it when you rev above 3,000rpm or so.
Without a good intake, even you put up a good exhaust, you may not be able to breathe well. Its like running 2.4km with a N95 mask.

Always remember the following ime..
Intake mids n exhaust....
Big intake n exhaust dun help because of the restricted mid. With a catless it will be good with a tune. Without a tune, you feel lagged.
If u are saying n95 mask with a big intake n exhaust, it because u did not tune it. Any mods u will need a proper tune to ensure best performance.
Stock airbox is enough for stage 2 max. Anything more a upgraded air intake is required.
Always tune your car proper.
Partly true... it depends on your mod.Hurricane;1112799 said:

There is no such thing as legal down pipe. Some people swap them out to stock before inspection, then after that replace back after inspection.

hmmmmmm.......... But that would "wreck" the tuning right?

You may be right but I'm no expert on tuning. People who do this swapping of down pipe for inspection is normally on PiggyBack (no tuning disruption issue).
