BMC Filters (or any intake) but make sure you get Air Scoops.

I've been testing out multiple scenarios with my buddy iMAD.M6 and we've found out that BMC Drop-in filters are equivalent to Eventuri Intakes!!

We both raced using the following setup:
- Stock ECU
- Catless VRSF
- My F10 M5 has BMC Drop-in Filters / No Scoops
- His F06 M6 has Eventuri Intakes / No Scoops

The results were shocking lol. We were side by side the entire time from 60 kph to 220 kph.

The filters/intakes themselves don't actually make any noticeable difference UNLESS you direct the air to them using scoops. iMAD.M6 just bought his aFe scoops and should arrive next week. Once he has them installed, we will try again to prove if this is a myth or actually a solid fact.

So yeah, scoops are a must!

Forgot to mention that my buddy has Full M-Performance by Akrapovic exhaust and we still are the same.

Exhausts are overrated and they don't affect performance whatsoever. Only added value is the weight reduction.

Look we almost do 100-200s on a daily basis to check the performance and differences between our cars.

What you need for F1X M5/M6 is the following
- Downpipe
- Drop-in Filters
- Tune
- Scoops

And call it a day. You'll be able to eat Aventadors for lunch

Exhaust is not really a "performance" upgrade. Since it has minimal affect to the power but rather a small affect on weight.
