MSR Intake for M5 Nightvision
George (M6Beast) really hit a home run with this new application. The fit is perfect and results are very impressive. I ordered a M6 and M5 NV intake and was a little baffled by the M6 came in fully brushed as requested, but the M5 NV was brushed up top and black wrinkle powder coated inside the grille. George pointed out the very distinct black eye the car would have had with a fully exposed brushed right intake and a half-hidden by the NV left intake. He nailed the look and performance.
The only tip I would add to future installers is to hand form the worm clamp connecting the oval tube into an oval shape in order to preload the silicone elbow into the oval shape during insertion. That and the Black Magic make it a pretty painless job. Thanks George! |

I'll let M6Beast comment on his prices, but the average dude who has never removed his kidney grilles before might spend 3-4 hours putting this in the first time. It's tricky because it's a tight fit, but manageable if you have a good toolbox.
I'll put one in in Dallas in an hour for a large pizza and a six pack of shiner |

You'll end up driving around with our windows open just to hear that sound!
I'm happy to help out in the Dallas area, but I'm down in Midlothian, so just a little haul from the north burbs. PM me if want. |

Taking the kidney grills take 5 minutes and the OEM intake should take no more than 20 min. I pull them off all the time. I am still undecided, spending some money in two weeks on DPs and a tune but I will make the trip with you guys to Midlothian and have some fun if you are all down.

I think the grills have a finite life as to how many times you can pull them off.
When I installed my MSRs, this was the 4th time I pulled the grills and 2 tabs broke off. That or I am just way too strong.

Really though, kidney's take me literally 5 minutes. They pull straight out if you do it right.

Hmmm...Eurocharged is right around the corner from my office. Might be a good time for a baseline dyno.
