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

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I have the BMW Performance intake. Not loud at all. Looks great, though!

Not sure why it's not loud, though. It's a pretty tight box; that may muffle the sound. Not sure, though. Will need someone else to chime in.

Not sure if that's the cause, but I should have mine in this weekend. (still waiting on a tracking # from ESC)We can't be that far apart, I'd be happy to hook up somewhere so you can hear it for yourself, in person.

Will probably make a before/after video. Can't imagine it's going to be a huge difference.

It's not loud at all, but there is a difference in the sound, more so at higher revs.

- I would greatly appreciate that offer in all seriousness.
My personal preference in doing any modification to this car are purely to make it sound as good as it looks. Since performance gains will be quite costly for larger horsepower numbers, I think a good quality sound is what I'm after.I've done a lot of video listening to hear the differences but there are just to many variables that give me biased sounds when it comes to the intensity.

You will probably want to look into a more open style intake if you want a deeper, throatier sound. The aFe intake with the pro dry filter may be a little better. They are on sale at Bav Auto right now.
