Best Dual Cone Intake for N54

AltecBX · 03-23-2010, 02:34 AM

Looking to upgrade to a DCI air filter for my 335xi!!! What are your recommendation of the best intake for our cars? Below are all the DCI I found for the N54.

This is the AFe.

This is the injen.

This is the BMS.

This is the Vishnu.

This is the ASR.

This is the Uhh, umm, uhh.

+1, I wanted the injen for looks, but ended up with the BMS... couldn't be happier. The sound is intoxicating

Injen, you cant go wrong.

Ecu335i · 03-23-2010, 01:02 PM

It comes down to the aFe or BMS. If you want an affordable and quick upgrade, go with BMS. If you want a complete system, go with aFe. I run the aFe on my 135 and love it.

What about the injen?
What does a complete system offer more than the BMS?

SV Concepts III · 03-23-2010, 02:23 PM

Most importantly a heatshield, running freer flowing filters will help to an extent but it doesn't help with heat soak.

You are forgetting couple more.....the KINGS....lol...these are by far the best Cold air Intakes, they pull cold air from lower intake vent in bumper

http://www.ultimate-racing.com/xcart...?productid=105

and the Dinan one, below...which is very similar.

WLF · 05-07-2013, 04:10 PM

The Dynan is 1300$ so im not even considering it.

in terms of performance how do injen,afe and bms intakes compare?

Never seen that ultimate-racing one. I like it, I will only be worried a little about the the possibility of water getting in it.

cleex024 · 05-07-2013, 04:47 PM

the cold air intake ones cant be suckin in that much air...look at the filters and how small they are...why would these even be better than stock where i am ramming air with scoops?

i have the stock air box with k&n filter with scoops and i think this is perfectly fine...i dont see how any of these are better than stock except the dinan and i wouldnt want that either just because price and you have to take off a support bar.

someone please explain i would like to know more about this subject.

infidel335 · 05-07-2013, 04:50 PM

I think there is a thread out that has most of these and their dyno results...
