RED or black scoops

Neutrino45 · 10-09-2009, 06:37 AM

I've just ordered a pair of black scoops for my AW E90! Thanks for the link!!

ianthegreat · 10-09-2009, 10:17 AM

I've got the UR CAI so my scoops don't really get cooler air to my intake. I purely use them to force more air across my oil cooler/engine bay (and I like cleaning the rocks/sand out of the engine bay).

I call BS on any sort of dyno gain. This is a small "keep you busy/happy" type of mod IMO lol

I bet it looks like 2 red pieces of useless plastic behind your grilles. Just a guess though, I could be wrong..

Yeah riped of maybe u guys should buy them first and see. Cyba makes good shit and actually hellped out the e90 community by having a price for them like that. Its just metal and shouldent cost 90-200$ just to hear that o we bent them in a specific way. So who ever want to thread jack fall back and try shit first.

How many horsepowerz did you gain on your butt dyno? I bet it's a night and day difference, right?
I don't have to try them. I know these don't do anything for performance. Just like a cold air intake doesn't do anything for a turbocharged and intercooled engine.

i feel that these do not do anything performance wise... i just got them beacuse i like the way they look! i think the only way you get performance is if you have the stock airbox, even then the 1hp that u gain, u cant feel on a 350+ HP car
