RIF....(Readng Is Fundemental)

<<<Bimmerfest's E46 Wiki>>> Read this before posting questions!

Facts:

Your car came from the factory with the most effective CAI that was ever designed (and it`s free !) Aftermarket units make the intake noise louder and often annoying.

You`ll find lots of exhaust clips on Youtube....

There are no "tunes", chips. etc. for ZHPs that are worth the price of admission. Save your money.

Right, listen to Bob. :thumbup:

Headers + exhaust is what you can do.
Stock intake and chip will match with it.

+1 our intakes are perfect as is. I had an aftermarket intake and although it sounded incredible the car was more sluggish with acceleration.

Check the guide in my sig. It'll give you a basic idea on what to expect. Granted, if an intake alone gives you 3 WHP, an exhaust gives you 5 WHP, and the Shark Injector gives you 6 WHP, do not expect to gain 14 WHP from all three. You may see numbers closer to 10 WHP.

The absolute best bang for the buck mod is headers (other than nitrous). You'll gain some rasp, but you'll also gain some noticeable power.
