E46 330i K&N CAI really worth it?

[Pho3niX90]

Hi Guys.

So I am struggling to decide if I should go this route, is it really worth R3200 for a K&N kit?

 

[Nikhil]

I would say yes and no, yes if plan on doing a re-map to match your new found airflow ,if not then no it will just sound louder and make u feel like you going faster.

Chat to Moranor about the TarrTech intake, and whether they've made any progress on fitting it to the E46.

It's a solid design, one that I prefer over the majority of the other ones on the market. It's also R700 cheaper.

Here's the link: TarrTech Intake

330i has a larger Maf and piping so the TarrTech intake wont work for a 330i...

How much is the OEM bmw performance intake?

And so what is being done about this?

What about a sealed unit CAI for a 330? I'm sure it will create more forced induction and I'm sure the unit will sell!!

I know its a balls up. About 2 years ago it was on special for like USD300. Now supply is so low in the market it goes for like USD800 and then you still need to get it here. FML.

changing this will require a completely different production run

Axis intake is in the works but still under testing...

For the sound alone, its worth it...

I would love to have this on my car, but at that price it's just insane:yuck:

+1. If you want that I6 to amplify then you will love every second of it. Just don't expect huge gains but it is alot of money for just a good sound.
I have one in my car. Got off Gumtree for R1500 and loving every second of it

 

[KSINGH]

Prices for those mods don't make them worth it IMO

 

[Bavs108]

Wouldn't you get better results spending that money on a decat if you haven't already done so? I still want to explore this option for my car more for the sound than performance.

Wouldn't a adapter make this work?
