AFE cold air intake stage 2

Jay328xi · 03-26-2010, 05:39 PM

http://www.**********s.com/_e/E90_In...tage_2_E90.htm Is this worth getting, do you really feel a difference? Im going to get the BMS powerbox, would it be worth it to get the intake as well or would it make no difference?

JaysBlueE92 · 03-26-2010, 06:11 PM

definitely worth getting. If not AFE, OEM. You're going to love the BMS powerbox

Express · 03-26-2010, 06:19 PM

AFE should pay me to keep my mouth shut about how crappy this intake is.

Gavin@MMW · 03-26-2010, 06:34 PM

^^ are you the guy that melted one?

Express · 03-26-2010, 06:34 PM

i didn't melt anything. it melted itself.

Wlew · 03-26-2010, 07:08 PM

absolutely go with the afe. Ive got the pbx and afe....I love it. absolutely no problems and it sounds great.

and melting sucks, but you are the only person ive heard of that happening to. sucks man.

Express · 03-26-2010, 07:18 PM

sure did suck. i wish i took pictures. at least AFE gave me a refund.

justakid88 · 03-26-2010, 08:28 PM

but sounds really good

it sounds great but does it help with torque and horsepower? Also, how does it affect fuel economy?

intakes do very min as in for power and tq
i would just make one lol
as for fuel economy i dont see your mgp going down if anythin git will go up
hope that helps

Jay328xi · 03-26-2010, 08:57 PM

so basically it just serves for a nice exhaust sound?

Express · 03-26-2010, 09:00 PM

nice for melting.

yea i guess
you will see a gain in hp nd tq exp. if you have a tune but just not much
maybe ull get better throttle response too

Wlew · 03-26-2010, 09:11 PM

better throttle response, gains in hp and tq. about 5-7 for each depending on your car. and also sounds nice. also, it helps fuel economy when driven normally. more air in, better performance. obviously if you slam the gas every time, it wont, but when crusin on the highway itll increase your fuel economy.

hope that helps

Jay328xi · 03-26-2010, 10:31 PM
