MPPK Airbox question - Whistle?
Heya.
So I am debating ordering the MPPK airbox. What I am talking about is: Just wondering if anyone running this has experienced a substantial increase in that turbo whistle? |

No, not really. You can hear a definite whistle at very high RPM, but what you hear the most is the intake moan, which is more pronounced with this airbox.

Perfect.
Exactly what I am looking for. Have the BMS intake... Lasted about 15km in the car. Maybe I am getting too old, but I couldn't take the feeling that I had someone sitting under my hood letting out a whistle every time I touched the throttle. Thats most likely because the BMS intake is fully open. Anyways, its about 200 bucks for the MPPK pieces... I'll take the risk. Quote:

The airbox piece is available as a standard bmw part.
So anywhere that sells replacement parts. What I will be buying is: 11122334344 Quote:

I've never ridden up on the hood to hear any whistle from the MPPK airbox.
