    Building a list for performance options.... Need advice

    Hey guys,
    It's the start of summer and I have just knocked out all of the necessary preventive maintenance which now leaves me time to make a new list of things to do to the car. I'm looking for advice on what intake best fits my needs. From my understanding, the CAI's will not give me any type of increased hp or mpg and that is fine.
    What I am looking for in a CAI are as follows: 1.) A deep aggressive growl 2.) No performance inhibiting due to design 3.) Oil Free Filter
    The CAI's I seem to find most common on this forum are the BMW Performance CAI, AFE, and Dinan. Can anyone point me in a direction? I'm doing all the research I can but it seems as if one filter does not fill all my wants.

    The only drawback on the BMW Performance intake is the cost of filters. About $53. One of our members, though, found a workaround, so it looks like there could be a filter available for $9.

    Thanks for such fast reply guys. Only concern is I've read almost every post on the BMW performance CAI and in almost every post people state its not very noticeable as far as hearing it.... Is this due to the possibility the stock exhaust canceling out the noise of the intake or road noise?
