Based on logs there really isn't any difference in IAT between an open box intake like the CTS one or the stock intake. The FMIC impacts IATs more than anything. The open box intakes are just a sound mod.

It's not about looks or performance, it's about sound.

For anyone thinking about getting the CTS Turbo intake I would totally recommend it. Especially if your looking for one with great sound. Not going to lie though. For the first couple miles it did sound a little okayish, but man did it come alive.

Just installed this. Wow! What a great and addictive sound! Easy install with the instructions. Totally recommended.
Now time to install the CTS DP and FMIC for Stage 2 to ring in 2020 |

Hi. I have installed it on my f30, but how have you solved the problem with the high-temperature coming from the cooling hose? The aluminum part almost sits on the cooling hose and the intake pipe takes all the heat from it - the intake air before turbo becomes much hotter (especially in a traffic jam) than with OEM. Contacted CTS Turbo and they said, that the intake temperature before turbo doesn't make an impact on performance... So, it seems like they make it just you to have some great Instagram stories..

Most people buy intake's for the noise anyways. If you were really concerned about keeping IATs at the intake down, you would keep a closed intake that doesn't draw hot air from the engine bay (or as you mentioned, heat up the intake air in other ways as well). |

All that you guys ever do here is just parrot the same info that other people say as fact, everything ive seen personally shows they help. Whether or not its huge or small, they usually help. Unless its BMS... as soon as someone asks about one, 50 people show up trying to sell them theirs lol Edit: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=988489
