Hi everyone,

Lately I've been tracking my car and found it being weak after going hard for two sessions when the weather is nice and hot. So, I decided to do some improvements to my intake.

The intake system I had was AFE DCI which is known to heat soak. I looked over quite a few posts and found everyone doing the Mr.5 intake, but I don't have a tool to cut a hole on the stock intake. After looking posts to posts for alternatives, I found someone talking about doing two K&N Apollo intakes. However, I can't find anyone who has already done it, so I figure I should give it a try. Also, I got a fairly good deal for these intakes.

These are what you need:
- K&N Apollo X 2
- Hose Clamp X 4
- 2.25" Aluminum Pipe (about 4-6" long, cut in half for both sides)
- 2.75" to 2.25" Reducing Silicone Hose X 2

It's very simple like BMS DCI. Just that you will have to route the piping to where you think you will get the most cold air. For me, I have a M3 front with intake duct, so I have one routed to that and another routed to the stock one with scoops.

I don't have the data now, but the exhaust seem to have a louder sound just like when I upgraded my intercooler. Now, my setup might not look good, but I believe they should be functional.

I actually thought about doing the same thing. but with only the bumper duct. Any noticeable difference in the temp?
