Arg. I try to ignore that people don't search correctly or POST IN THE RIGHT FREAKING AREA 90% of the time, but if you really searched, you did it wrong. If you search for "Simota Intake", which is the title of your thread, in the "NA Engine (non-turbo) / Drivetrain / Exhaust Modifications" section, which is the proper forum for this, you would find 130something threads that match, many of which are named "Simota Intake review" or something along that line.

EDIT: Just to be a little helpful, I searched for a couple of minutes. Ran across this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ta+Intake+dyno

Looks like the guy ran a dyno and got +1 hp. So it is almost no power difference but sounds better and according to most people has better response. The thread didn't have the full band dyno on it, but I doubt it did much. I got bored of searching after that, as I have no desire to put this on my car.

ok for a start, the first ones an f'ing dealer page, no one trusts company dyno's, they're trying to sell their products.

and this has anything to do with the thread...why? way to be a douche.

[MassBimmer]

What is your problem dude? Guys on here actually took time to post threads that they thought would be helpful...why are you acting like such an a$$? Talk about immature...that'll probably be the last time anyone on here tries to help you out. Last time I checked, we're not here for you..

That does show that you have (at least when you took that screenshot) opened many of the articles that match that search though all of the forums. My advice, which was rudely phrased, and for that I'm sorry, was to search only in the NA Engine section. That would cut down a lot on the garbage threads that had nothing to do with what you are searching for. Especially as your page only goes a few days back, and contains mostly just a lot of threads that have little or no chance of having the info you want in them.

Since the second thread I opened had a guy that said he was +1 on a dyno and that seems consistent with most intakes, I assumed you hadn't done a proper search.

Anyway, my take: Generally intakes are for sound/throttle response, not horse power. The ones that give more initial power grab air from everywhere and power drops when the air it's pulling heats up, which it will as the intake is around the engine. There are some like the afe, and I believe the Simota, though I don't know much about it and could be mis-categorizing it, that use a heat shield to try to protect from the engine bay heat, but it still pulls a lot of air from the bay and suffer some of the same issues. They tend to vary, mostly depending on how the shielding effects the air circulation.

The fully closed intakes that seem to do the best are the Dinan (requires box modification that I don't like) for something around +5 or so HP, and the BMW performance (much nicer looking and easier to install) which is +3. The BMW Performance sounds better than the Dinan, btw.

Cheers
