I am now running stock intake, stock filter but with another hole in the bottom part of the airbox. (similar like the M2 has). Seems to work fine. Even at 540whp an intake on my car adds 0 whp.

did this make the stock intake any louder?

I don't have a dyno run to show any numbers, but I assure you it did something.

If you feel it doesn't do anything than thats your opinion and thats fine too.

Almost always, the added power you feel comes from the sound; it plays tricks on your mind...

Customer review of the Injen intake

The sound this intake makes on my M235i is intoxicating. I ride around with the windows down just to hear it.

M235iguy · 04-19-2016, 05:56 PM

I love my Dinan! Contact Evan@Tischer aka getbmwparts.com here on the forums, best deal I found out of a few PM's - great service and fast shipping! Love the spooling and more aggressive sound.

Haha, that's my review

I love playing with the throttle just to hear the intake. It's super addictive.

Hey guys sorry it was a very chaotic weekend with a bachelor party for one of my friends I didn't have time to grab a video. However I finally did get a parking permit for my new place allwoing me to have both cars there which will make things a lot easier.

As of right now I only pick my car up for weekends. I usually want to drive it instead of pulling it apart, and takes ng dimensions ect.

Also I did want to say that I got a CEL again on the intake. The car also seems to be running a little bit clunking on start up only sometimes. I am going to try cleaning the MAF aggain and clearing the code to see if it does me any good. Will report back when I can.

Do you have an oiled filter? My Injen intake came with a dry filter and so far I've not had any problems. I've had it for a couple of weeks now.

I believe it was dry. I checked the website and it said dry.

Arma Speed Air Intake, like most of you, it is just the sound and visual effects for me.
