Well, i installed the intake, after 4 days of Fedex playing PONG with it, sending it back and forth from Miami to Boynton Beach. Turns out they had the wrong Zipcode.
Anyways, install took about 30 mintes. Pretty straight forward... only a few things confused me. I have a 96 328i. I was TOLD that I have an air sensor in my stock airbox and some sort of charcoal thingy under the airbox (said so in the install procedures). But uhh, had no temp sensor or charcoal thingy. I was confused at first since someone said 96+ 328s had a temp sensor. I check the sticker on the drivers door and its build date said 12/95. Guess that kind of makes sense. Anyways i went ahead with the install. Hardest part of the install was getting the damn heatshield in there.
Anyways once i finished the insatll i took it for a 15 minute drive to get my mother and go to the store. Once i got home i opened the hood up to check all the clamps and hoses. Everything was perfect. I even noticed a HUGE temperature difference between the engine bay and the heatshield.
As far as performance. I did notice more "pull" between 4-6k. I havnt really been able to take it all out since its rainy and such. It growls nice and loud. Not TOO loud, not soft. Just perfect IMO.
I give this mod a 10/10. 1/10 on install difficulty.
Up next - Shark Injector.
