yea i was think about getting the Intake for bavauto, but 119.00 dollars is alot i wanted to see it befor i got it since i dont live to far away from there location, but if what schneider252 says is true then why not sace 50 bucks. tell how it was schneider when you get your package.

[schneider252]

rgr that, Fox told me personally that its not worth it.... your pretty much payin like 50 bucks just for a tube i think, All u need is the adapter and filter and its 43 bucks on ebay!
Im not sure about heatheads tho

even if you do notice a slight difference with cone filters, it's not enough to give your car the edge over another car with comprable performance. you should also be prepared to lose some hp in traffic

[tyro2001]

thats true but do you really need HP in traffic?

[schneider252]

its pretty much for sound and looks, wuts wrong a little of that lol?

[tyro2001]

one of the reasons why i want one is sound people say it gives of a sweet sound.

I got a 1991 318i...was jsut wondering for the intake kit on ebay u just take off the big ass air filter box and replace it with the new one right...with that adapter. for anyone who has done this...is it a bitch to do or what?

and does the Intake give off a deeper sound, or what ?

[spiff325is]

it does make a sound difference, but more at high RPM's, my friend has an ice cone intake system thing, and it sounds sweet.

If I didnt want to order something off of ebay, where should I go?

[spiff325is]

what are the exact parts I need, schneider, is what your getting from ebay all the stuff that you need?

do I need to get that tube that goes from the filter to wherever?

[schneider252]

nope, I talked to fox and he pretty much told me that all u need is the adapter and the cone, no assembly required! Ebay is the only place to get it at that price i think.

[tyro2001]

i just bought one from Ebay schneider cant wait till it gets here

those things are a rip off. Like i said a while back, the only thing you should do with modifying your intake is getting a K&N air filter. You will practically get the same gains as that of the cone filter you are talking about and the sound will be a little louder than stock. The other option is doing a MAF or AFM conversion. Other than those two options, you shouldn't go put your money anywhere else.

But hey, if you want to go for the looks and sound, then by all means go for it. I just dont think that 110 dollars will get u nowhere fast.

IMO, those cone filters don't look good in our engine bays to begin with. They belong more on Hondas and japanese imports.
