Final modification.

Thinking about aftermarket intake what do you guys think is there really any other benefits besides sound from the factory OEM or look for other modification?
If so what is a cheap but won't give me error codes for the 335i N55 intake?

Current mod list
Active Autowerke charge pipe intakecooler, Borla Atak catback exhaust and JB4 map 2.

I would get the CTS Turbo intake. It states guaranteed no cel. I just received mine the other day, but haven't had a chance to install it yet. You'll see an increase in power and torque, not like a tune but you should feel a difference.

How does the CTS intake compare to the AFE, Injen, BMS?

I've had the CTS intake for almost 2 years and no CEL's from it since day 1. Quality piece with great fitment. It's totally worth it for "just" the sound because it sounds fantastic! It'll pair well with your existing mods. Clay's a great, local guy as well.

Enjoy!

CTS is the only one that doesn't throw a CEL? Any others?

Have heard of at least 10 other former pwg jb4 owners in the last week alone who removed jb4 to go with a flash tune and had to install the tmap ground wire hack because the jb4 fried the ground wiring to the sensor.

What's up with all the hate on the JB4 did I miss something last year I got installed I didn't hear anything negative about it and as far as I know it works flawless with my car.
So what's going on?
