I know theres many threads on these intakes but I wanted to double check to see if all the negative reviews and experiences were based off just the stage 1 version or both stage 1 and 2.... thinking of going with stage 2 with the rpi scoop i have... thanx ahead for your feedback

 

to be honest i have a 2006 530i with afe stage 2 intake... u wont feel that pull or difference ... maybe gain 5hp at 5000rpm... but who the hell drives at 5000 rpm all the time non stop..
but i assure u one thing ull get some notice when u pop the hood and second ur engine will be very loud.. and that the best thing...
i would say go for it..
i did it and my engine sound is very loud now...

 

Had it on my 545i. Just noticed a sound difference no performance difference.

 

How is the sound is it noticeable and worth the money that's all I really wanted it for to make the car sound nicer with the exhaust

 

I had the Magnaflow Catback system along with the aFe throttle body spacer. I did it all at once. It was a noticeable sound difference.

 

thanx anyone else with feedback on this?
