Accidentally posted in the wrong section before.
I'll make this short and to the point. I, like many other n63 owners paid a good amount for the ARM intake. Now, the intake is great quality and I'm not saying anything negative about it.
But........I decided to try something i haven't seen done and it worked perfectly. I ordered the intake ducts from an x5m which point forward and installed them with an maf housing from a chevy cruz and a cone air filter. It sounds much better than the ARM intake, definitely has smoother throttle response, and only cost half the price.
X5m intake ducts on amazon-$165 for both

Pics below. I am planning to extend them into the front grills later. One of the biggest advantages Is I can now change sparkplugs and coils without removing anything.
I know my filters look a little beat up and they are going to be replaced shortly.
