Not all cause CELs. For example CTS does not, because it has a properly designed MAF housing.
They don't really cause "less performance". Any increase is debatable, but unless you have a really poorly designed intake it shouldnt make your car slower. It may change your throttle response and drivability characteristics.
Read my intake thread here as it basically answers all these questions and more: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1765289 |
So you’d recommend the CTS intake?
