Did you get the exhaust pop from the filter?

Nope only difference is you can hear the intake taking in air sort of like a car with after market induction but it's not that pronounced. Also more whistle and tssh tssh when lifting of the gas pedal but this can only be heard with the windows down

Yeah, as expected... didn't understand how a flatpad filter could change exhaust note. Any other benefits? Turbo lag?

My car pops plenty. Didn't do it as much before filter funny enough :cartel:
More airflow does change exhaust tone. Mine sounds different. Maybe it's just a luck:rollsmile:

Or maybe it's the DP:=):

To be honest other than the slight alteration in sound no other benefits that I my butt dyno can notice, car still pulls hard no turbo lag either. I did notice this morning I can get the car to whistle/tsssh tsshh by playing with the accelerator

I think that this filter in conjuction with a downpipe will make a bigger difference, downpipe is on the cards though :rollsmile:

Filter + dp + mp exhaust = Pop Pop Pop

Sent all 4 rims in for full refurb. Two had slight buckles and the rest had chips etc.....
Should get them back end of the week :cartel:

I also decided to fit a GFB DV +. Worked perfect in my G6R before so decided to try in the BMW. Need to allow the car to adapt but so far it's holding more boost up top. The more runs I did the better it held:rollsmile:

Will run logs when the car is mobile and see what's happening. Definitely pulls better up top. My butt Dyno says so

 

[Donnie Darko]

Got my wheels back :rollsmile:
They look brand new. Really good work from wheel collision :clapper:


Glad I'm back on the road :cartel:
