Filter change time
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Took about 30 minutes, but its a tight fit with the diagonal bars in the way, and you have to make sure the filters sit in all the way flush. Its the compromise you make when you choose a front-mount filter system like RK autowerks.

Concerning the silicone elbow, I dont think it does restrict flow. Of course the round shape becomes oval as it goes through the bend area, but its not crimped in any way, so the overall inner flow area doesnt decrease. I had done a before(charchoal delete+BMC filters)/after dyno and gained about 20whp; same dyno (EAS), but different days due to time.

Wait a minute. Are you saying you gained 20 rwhp with these intakes versus the stock system + charcoal delete + BMC filters? Not to question you, but can you share the dyno charts both before and after?

Okay, thanks for sending. I must have been living under a rock to not see these before. But, to be factual, the total gains from MSIXCARBON was 16 rwhp when compared to stock + charcoal delete + BMC filters. That equates to about a total of 17-18 bhp.
I do love the looks and sound of the intakes! |

Yes I know...the 38whp was vs a stock airbox setup, according to his thread.

Still impressive numbers for just an intake. Do you have other downstream mods like down pipes and larger exhaust? Or are all the mods in your signature? Thanks again for sharing your experience.

I'm not ruling out the blitz filters, but come cleaning time, take pics of the inside of the filters. K&N can filter particles better than those blitz, and that trumps sound, for me. |
