My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

It is my belief that the B&B you are referring to (as in B&B Performance) is different than the B&B Triflow maker of exhaust systems. However, I would like someone else to confirm my suspicions. I only mention it so people are not misled into thinking that they are the same company.

Feedback???

That doesn't look like a CAI. Looks more like a warm air intake. Where's the hose for the car to get fresh air??
