or "claims".

J08M3 · 09-03-2009, 11:55 AM

is this so it can suck hot air from inside the engine compartment? how does it work with RPI scoops?

GT3 Tim · 09-03-2009, 12:08 PM

??? WTF? Looks like it will suck more hot air. At least the stocker is sealed off from the engine compartment air. I dont get it....guess I will await some details. I dont think they would do something like this without a benefit.....

Edit: Maybe it has an E-Ram built into it! (you have to be an M3 old-timer to get that one)

That's the big question

We will be waiting to see Dyno charts.

I remember, it was also called the $300 paperweight.

The stock M3 airbox flows very well, I doubt we'll be seeing any improvements in flow other than that the included filter can contribute.

Just like every AFE intake for bimmers.

Hot air intake.

I have seen these intakes lose power on dynos. The 5-series community had a mutiny on AFE, demanding their money back.

Well, at least it looks pretty.

Maybe it is just the finish... but for me it would have to look more um.... like it belongs. Gains is another.

JC919 · 09-03-2009, 02:26 PM

I don't know about anyone else, but I HATE teasers. What is it and what are the hp numbers? I don't care about how it looks if the gains are promising. It's not like I'm doing laps with the hood off.

FCP Euro · 09-03-2009, 02:50 PM

Any update on this thing. I have not seen BP post since the first post.

Finnegan · 09-03-2009, 02:57 PM

It looks like some deranged exhaust hood for a kitchen range. Both serve the same function: to pull in hot air.

but thats the thing, there probably isn't any gains...and on top of that it looks like that?

I agree, if it makes power, I dont care how it looks ...but that shit looks out of place!!!
