How you like the noise? This things makes ten different noises. Low boost let off sounds really neat! High boost is “pshhhh”. I saw someone offered BOV just can’t recall who it was. |

I think intakes will boost some hp but not much. I didnt really get em for that. I just wanted my filters out of the engine bay getting real cooler air. The sound is cool. Sounds like a blowoff valve almost. Think it will look better once I get the grilles out.

Mine is a 2020. Pipes just go directly down past the radiator vesus routing to the back of the engine bay and forward. You either want front mounted or you dont really. If I was gonna keep them in the engine bay, I wouldve just ripped the carbon filters out and in put drop ins. The stock air box set up isnt bad.

Looks great! The air filters seem very far from the shutters. I'm surprised you had to remove the shutters. Anyway, were you able to do the install without removing the bumper cover? It looks like you were able to do it by just going in from the top.

Bumper got completely unbolted but was able to avoid disconnecting sensors. Just braced it up. The filters hit the first tab in the grille.

Nice job BTW. You're obviously very mechanically inclined. Post up a video of how it sounds when you can.

Definitely prefer the look with the shutters. The car looks more "complete." Like someone mentioned, the look inside is not really pretty.
I had the RKTunes intakes on the M5, and this is what they sound like (with Eisenmann exhaust.) I'm sure the sound is very similar. |

How did you get the light coded out? Are you able to share who did it if you didn't do it yourself?

See if you have someone by you, because the software can't be done remote, you need to physically have them hook their laptop up with the ISTA software and they can do anything. |
