What is the absolute best cold air intakes? Based on performance gains, sound and quality. I understand the K&N isn't good because of the fact it sucks in hot air and the cosmo seams to be the best so far. Any opinions would be awesome. Also is this one as good as getting a cosmo from a real website? - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Racin...spagenameZWDVW |  |  | | 05-24-2007, 07:09 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 |
NONE! just Fogg your airbox & pop in a K&N filter element.  | | | | | 05-24-2007, 08:09 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |

ok cool. I'll look up fogging later. Does no one have a good CAI? | | | | | 05-24-2007, 08:48 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |
What is your definition of a good CAI? They are all just about the same, an aluminum pipe with a filter. No matter what you get the sound and gain will be the same. | | | | | 05-24-2007, 09:18 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Franklin, NC Posts: 124 |

If you have an m42 it won't fit without an adapter plate. | | | | | 05-25-2007, 03:31 AM | #9 | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: New York City Posts: 22 |

i go for cosmo but this has been discussed before...there arent too many ways to totally screw up an intake....its a pipe with a filter as been previously stated...
my personaly intake was a modified cosmo intake which you can read about in this section ... i think its the best personally... __________________ 1995 318ti Active

Just looked at Dinan- I thought they still offered a CAI for the M44 but I don't see it. Looks like I may have a collectors item in there? __________________

Last I heard was that they discontinued it along with their CF intakes. | | | | |
