New mod recommendations?
Can anyone recommend some nice performance mods for my F32 428i that don't cost a whole lot? Like little things that I can install myself. I was thinking about an Injen intake and I heard that it adds about 22 WHP. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.
Performance-wise, I already have: JB Stage 1 tune H&R Super Sports OEM 435i exhaust Last edited by DG20; 02-03-2015 at 01:15 AM.. |

Add DP for most power gains
Evolution Racewerks Downpipes is a very good option

Thanks for the replies, are there any smaller mods that perhaps increase air flow or just help the engine run smoother overall? Thanks

Yup I can confirm the intakes do nothing but noise. I had the Injen and it was a nice piece visually and good sound, but does nothing to add power. The tune with a down pipe like the others seems to be the way to go. The only problem with a down pipe, the CEL light will come on with a stage 1 so you would need to get the JB4 turn it off. Then if you get the JB4 then you have to tap the CAN wires which can cause a problem if you ever needed to take your car into service under warranty and they spot the wires tampered with. Slim chance, but still a chance.

It will not add noticeable power like the JB4 or DP but if you take your car to a Dyno and compare stock vs open intake you will see a good 5 - 10 whp increase

Yes I would agree with that if you go FBO, but he's just talking a stage 1 and exhaust, not FBO. |

But i was replying to your comment about the intake being useless for power gains by just clarifying that it is only useful if you are FBO. i think we are in agreement.

Would advise to upgrade to the JB4. Not too difficult to install
