I've got a 650i coupe n63tu. Are you guys not worried about hydrolock when it rains with your intake placement?

You would have to be submerged to hydrolock, if anything it's free water mist injection in the rain lol, like meth injection. Even then, with the intake temps being over 120+* the mist will have been evaporated by the time it even hits the airbox.

I've already driven in a rain shower with my filters for 3 days and surprisingly, they were pretty much dry. To answer your question, NO, im not worried about hydrolock.

I met with a fabricator today that is a mutual business friend. Showed him the section of pipe mock-up that I needed from him to hold the maf. He will make them and if all goes well I'm going to sell the section of pipe for 65 a piece. 130$ and you can get your flex pipe and filters anywhere you want!? Much bjeapoer for the 550i owners as an intake option

Spoke with him last night and he said by middle of next week he will have them completed. I believe he said aluminum would be best for now. And also asked me how many did I want to start out with. Anybody interested in picking some up !?

2 cone intakes bought from autozone 15-20$ a piece

Caulk or High heat sealer
Clamps.

Okay step one is Removing Stock intake system, to do this your easiest bet is remove the cross bars that are on either side above the intake tubes.(don't even know official nAme of these)
?
I used a 5/8ths or a 15mm socket to get the bolts out...


The intake tube is connected by simple push/slip on connections. Taking a body tool or flat head and creating a slight gap will allow you to remove the connection.
There are 3. One at the front near the radiator and kidney grills. One at the intake air box/silencer and one at the curves intake that mounts into the turbo.
Remove entire assembly up to this last connection before the intake into the turbo. The small clamps can be removed with flat head, 1/4 inch socket or 6mm.
?
Be careful when removing and installing, the intake into the turbo can be flexed and can break its small mounting plastics which will compromise your connection into the turbo.
?

Take airbox out (don't forget to unplug ur maf) and remove all torx screws. T20 I believe. And then remove the air filter. Leave the maf... reconnect the airbox pieces and screw torx bits back in. You will notice a slight gap where the airbox and silencer was. This is where your sealant will go. This is also very important that you can't leave a gap or it will produce a MAF code.
"Too much volume" typically is a great indication of a maf code produced by a intake system not properly sealed.
After it's sealed you can then reinstall your flexible tubing to your connections at the airbox.
?
I recommend removing the kidney grill to fit your cones in(only one necessary) as well as connecting your flex tubing and cone together with clamps. .. it's just too hard to fit your tubing into the cone after it's been attached to the air box.
Clamps should be applied at the cone, clamps around the flex and airbox connection and airbox into stock intake tube that runs into the turbo.


Ya this diy sucks but I have been super busy. Any questions feel free to ask anytime

Bought a bms intake that cost around 199 and it was mad small and would of wanted to see the sound difference making one of these. Post a video so we can here what it sounds like but def looks dope with red shining through the grill good shit man

Getting a small pipe made for just the maf port so I can remove the airbox completely for the sound. And then attach flex to it
