HI all,

I have 2007 550i SMG car is very fast as is just trying to get the car closer to the 400 HP mark. I currently have RPI ram intake, Sprint booster and K&N performance air filter. Soon to get a axle back RPI exhaust hoping in the next 3 month. Any Ideas for quick upgrades that don't hurt the pockets?

Appreciate any feedback.

The home-brew dual intake shouldn't hurt the pockets- $200 from what I recall including the second RPI air scoop.

the only way to get any appreciable power gains is to supercharge or turbo the engine...and thats major bucks.

better off just getting an m5 if you really need the power.

Working on the RPI axle back, is the Ram intake worth it? I already have the K&N. Sorry to jump in this just was about all the topics i'm working on!
