aFe Stage 2 CAI - Spacer?
Hey guys, I just had one of these installed in my 06 330i and I'm somewhat disappointed by the performance. It feels slower than it was off-the-line with the stock airbox! So I was about to uninstall it when I came across this thread that says there's a spacer app for that: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=574347
Is this true? Does anyone still have one of these or can make one and ship? Because I honestly do like the sound and wouldn't uninstall if I can resolve the performance issue!   Just for clarification, this is the CAI system: http://www.bimmian.com/aFe-Cold-Air-...r-E91-3-Series Thanks guys and cheers!!! Last edited by x1ngxang; 08-20-2014 at 02:20 AM.. Reason: punctuation |

You got that junk one instead of the actual sealed box, I'd send that thing back and get the Stage2SI.

That's what I was afraid of! Thanks for the feedback.
Where can I get the sealed one? Bimmian apparently doesn't carry it. But I did find it here: http://www.autoanything.com/air-filt...A2114A0A0.aspx. I see the Stage 2 but it says "Without Active Steering" ... So I don't think that'll work. What retailer would you recommend? |

You can find it on eBay or Turner Motorsports or straight from aFe.

In that case for your airbox - before you spend money on AFE - look up Evoglyn and airbox mod on babybme.co.uk and maybe mentiones of it here

I think he may be from Birmingham Alabama.
