Which intake to get?

GruppeM intakes are expensive.. :X

MPG change was only +/- 10-15%, after the break-in period for all f them. And break-in period doesn't mean the actual hardware, it means you. All sound so good you can't keep your foot out of the throttle for the first few tankfuls, you keep wanting to hear it. Eventually you'll get used to it and go back to your normal driving pattern.

Sounds like a good price on the AFE, the BmW Perf & GruppeM you'll have to find on the used market, found each of ours within $50 of the price you noted.

AFe stage 1 was what I ran. Loved it, felt more power over GruppeM that came with my car when I purchased it... though that could be tune related.

Any experience with dinan cai's?

AFE stg2 it is then, for me at least. Do you guys recommend getting the pre-filter along with it?

Damn, not a single one of you guys mentioned the Dinan!? No love for Dinan eh??

Jon, I have the Dinan on my car. Honestly, its extremely well built, and looks great (looks OEM-ish). It is pricey, and honestly, I didn't feel much performance gain with it alone. Paired with the exhaust and software, the car does feel better.

I'm typically a party of 1, but I love the Dinan parts. Very happy with my purchases so far.

I swear by enclosed intakes so it was either stage 1 or the stock box and k&n drop in.

No need for pre filter in my opinion
