Stick with stock. As you're binging YouTube, watch the many videos on aftermarket intake performance. I believe Engineering Explained also has one (would you believe that guy's like 50!?!?!)

Those are the key words. Zero is still "up to." I had a FilterCharger on my last car; claimed "up to" 15hp. No difference, other than a nice intake sound. I've also had the panel filter; again, no difference. Were it that cheap and easy to add power the manufacturers would do it. There's a ton of engineering that goes into a vehicle's intake; both for economy and power. The benefit of the panel filter is never having to buy a filter again. Then again, the oil in the K&N (mainly after cleaning and overaggressive oiling) has been known to foul MAF sensors.

By the way it would be that easy for BMW to just bump the power you get from stage 1 tune without adding anything to the car but they didn't. So just because of EPA a manufacturer didn't push extra power or added a high flow filter doesn't mean it has no benefit. Also, K&N says 100,000 mile before clean up, yeah that is stupid to do but by the time this filter requires cleaning you can just buy a new one which is still cheaper than buying a BMW filter.

I just butt-dynoed it. I did a back-to-back comparison; not scientific at all, but I couldn't tell a difference outside of the sound. The intake sounded like a vacuum cleaner; that was nice! It sure wasn't $300 nice, though. There are also many YouTube comparison tests; with dyno results. To each their own. |

Throttle response is also way too subjective to be indicative of anything. But hey, like I said, your money! If you're chasing that 1/100 of an ounce of performance and that makes you happy, go for it man.

The subaru one could very well flow a significantly smaller amount of air, hence why the lowered restriction helps. I get you're trying to rationalize your purchase, but using an apples to oranges comparison to prove your point is a bit of a stretch.

Also, I want to go back to my point of BMW could have pushed stage 1 tune power out of the car without any issues. Your said it is a reliability issue yet people are pushing north of 500whp without any issues so extra 50hp is proven to be reliable. A RAM style intake shouldnt have any effect either if there is 0 air flow restrictions from BMW intake design. You trusting a company with their intake design yet they lie about their power figures. You talk like you were sitting there when BMW was making their intake design lol. Also, more air flow is more air flow and just by looking at stock filter you can tell how restrictive it is. And I am comparing a DI system against a DI system of same design air to air. Now if I was comparing air to air vs air to water then that would be a different story.
