M5 F10 - Induction air intake upgrade £100 fitted

Pikey Motorsports · 05-05-2018, 08:16 PM

No I used the 80mm with 150mm. What did you use?

But unfortunately I've gone out in the car tonight and it's thrown a CEL

Pikey Motorsports · 05-11-2018, 09:56 AM

Do you have pics of your setup you could post

Thanks

That's awesome, I am glad I read the whole thread. I am going to try the RamAir Intakes and these ducts.

Just my opinion, but I think you'd be better off with a BMS intake and scoops from AFE or RPI.

What benefit to do the BMS intake offer over the RamAir, and the AFE/RPI over the 100mm 90 degree ducts?

BMS better filtration and not having to cut your intakes. Scoops are larger and designed fit the car, not plastic PVC plumbing elbows.

Hey all I’m new here. Just purchased a 2011 M5 and it has ram air intakes. Do these need to be changed or cleaned every so often ?

theinfamousdrew · 11-01-2018, 06:26 AM

Has anyone tried these as front mounts?
I'm curious how the foam does with water/rain.

They can be cleaned in water or blown out with a airline, don’t oil them though

There the same as msr and 100s running them

There meshed filters though i wouldn’t recommend foam filters sat behind the grille you can also fit waterproof filter socks to them for extra piece of mind

I am a bit confused by your response.

This thread is about the RAMAIR filters that are a dense foam material. I am aware of what the Blitz filters are made of and what companies provide them with their systesm.

My question is related to the foam filters.
Would the RAMAIR foam media filters be ok behind the grills?

Sorry my opion is no they will soak up any water what does get to the filters easier compared to others

Thank you. I didn’t get a notification to say there was a reply. I’ll give them a clean today.

F10CPROG · 10-25-2019, 08:53 AM

Any negative effects from these?

I have heard they damage the MAFs!?

Simple5 · 10-25-2019, 06:47 PM

These filters are dry... no oil.. they won't hurt MAF sensors.

Pikey Motorsports · 10-26-2019, 03:11 AM

They suck up a lot of shit I don’t recommend them really after running them for awhile

Not worth botching you’re stock intake up

Simple5 · 10-26-2019, 06:22 AM

I have purchased a set of used oem intakes to hack up and will try it with different filter setups. I have a bunch of couplers and dry cone filters laying around.

I wonder if there is a better filter to try in place of the ramairs...

Kads_M5 · 01-04-2020, 09:33 PM

So here's my setup.
Used the oem boxes and proram air filters. Sounds amazing but not sure about gains.

Kads_M5 · 01-04-2020, 09:35 PM

Oh and also made those air scoops
