Cover on dinan intake

I had a bms intake on my previous m235 and it was much louder. Bought a dinan m235 and want to know what you guys think on cutting the cover on it for more sound.

Why cut? Just leave it off. No?

Don’t destroy it. If you want an open CF intake, get something like the Turner one. I may be interested in buying the dinan if you sell

Why would you buy a DINAN and spend 2x as much vs filter on a stick then cut the top up? Defeats the whole purpose, if you don't like it just swap it out for a different design and sell it.

He said he bought a dinan m235i so it probably had the intake as part of whatever stage package the car has?

The best part of the dinan intake is that it's closed top and still takes air from the stock inlet behind the bumper. Definitely wouldn't cut it, sell it and swap for a cts or other open intake if you really want

Honestly I just live the carbon fiber on it that's why I want to cut it. I would be open to a trade + cash or possibly selling it. And yes I bought the car used with the dinan package.

Don't touch the Dinan intake. If you want more noise, simply buy the M2 or MPPK lower airbox that has a hole cut in the area that sits behind the headlight. Or you could cut your stock lower airbox. The hole teamed with the Dinan cone filter should result in a bit more induction noise.

Would never spend half the price of that on an intake
