I should re-stitch the other tubing so the stiches are not visible.

Rizbel - the chrome tubes that you used. Are they heat resistant?

Edit: Nevermind. I just saw the latest pics

For V8 engines. I was looking at the straight 6s and I cannot find anywhere to fit even a 2" tube. Or maybe we attach an m5 duct, 3" piping going under the engine near the bottom, hook it back up to the intake. Now this is abolutely ridiculously long intake and probably doesnt work.

I'll look at a 530i next time and check to see what my options are.

Anyone in NYC wanna do this mod? DKNY, I can help you. Just buy the parts and I'll get it going for you.
