Cold air intake?

HailCezarGT · 07-27-2021, 07:11 PM

Which one will work best? I want a little nicer sound off the turbo. Thanks

The stock intake is a cold air intake. Beware of the advertising hype. If you can see the air filter when you open the hood it's not a cold air intake.

I went with BMS since it was the most affordable. Definitely can hear the turbo spool up.

I went with tht injen CAI for my N26. It really gives it some good sound especially in sport mode. I knew it was mostly just a visual/sound mod rather than performance it any. Still happy with it.

I also have the Injen Intake. No issues and it sounds amazing.

Go with the Injen Intake

Definitely recommend it. I have some pics and a vid of my injen intake on my Instagram : bimmerf34gt

Not really worth it to be brutally honest. BMW is known for having refined cold air intake setups. The most "performance" to be gained MIGHT be a high flow, drop in air filter.

Without a doubt... money would be better spent elsewhere if your aim is to make the car a bit quicker.

Living in a dusty region also not good behaviour to use it, found some small particles passed thought mine high flow air filter (used in stock box) and switched back to default. Nice sound but it not worth it

Whatever you do, avoid the CTS intake. Doesn't fit the F34*, and poor customer service.

* - their website said it did, but should be corrected now after my ordeal
