Just wondering if the RPI scoop (ram air induction kit w\filter) and the AFE Stage 2 cold intake system can be installed at the same time. This is for a 2006 525i. If you can, would I need the whole RPI induction kit or just the scoop?
Thanks,
Balbs

it would be counterproductive...
any open/cone intake set-up leads to heat soak/performance due to the hot air of the engine bay...stick with the scoop + stock box

its possible but its proven that the AFE intake will cause a reduction in power due to heat soak. best setup would be the ram air scoop paired with an aftermarket filter with BMC. we have the scoops in stock
