Intake

Seems to be quite a few options. Cheapest being the BMS utilizing the stock airbox. Eventuri/Grouppe M with their wild CF. Then all of the front mounts Gamma etc. What's everyone's preference?

BMS for the sound/value

Eventuri looks the best in my opinion

it all depends on your build budget

Aesthetics are not a concern for me, I take function over form under the hood. Thanks for the feedback. Looks like BMS is a good value so far.

I have tried AWE and project gamma and my vote would be project gamma. Have had it for few months and no issue in rain or anything.

the Project Gamma seems to be a good design and the price point is decent.

Yeah it is the only one I have heard in person as well. But it made a huge difference for me.

How much is labor on an eventuri install? Trying to get a sense of my out the door price with parts. Thanks!

Not sure. Did it myself. Instructions were good. Took me a few hours by myself. I'm sure an experienced mechanic could do in an hour or two.

Feel free to reach out to me with any question with install or adding bigger filters. It's pretty easy over all. Thanks

I've used Project Gamma on my F10 and F90 and have never had any issues and I feel the cost compared to some of the other expensive ones that do the same thing are pretty competitive. I also love how they're growing and are now offering carbon fiber ones; which I just switched to.

Here are some pics:

Running the AWE with custom AFE filters, Carbon covers, and grill scoops. I had the Project Gamma and i like them both, you're going to get more sound from the PG, less labor installing and removing the AWE. Those tubes can be a pain in the ass to remove and install, i found spraying some detail spray on the tubes helps get them through the openings but still a bit of a pain compared to the AWE.
