@gen41k In most cases that is correct, but I can say that for this Stage 2 setup does add some over the factory setup, it is mainly in the elbow that goes from the intake itself to the inlet of the plenum. They have gone so far as to offer this elbow for the stock airbox as well, it is about $80.00 and once installed will yield about 8-10 hp over the stock elbow when combined with an AFE or K&N Panel filter in the stock airbox.
@528im52 Thank you for reply , That's what i was planing to do , just to get drop in filter in stock air box, and elbow which goes to the engine. Any suggestions where i can purchase those? And is it going to be any conflicts with the MAF sensor after elbow will be installed?
I love this kit! Very easy to install with basic tools. It has not "added" horsepower per say but it has greatly improved throttle response, drive-ability and fuel economy on my '02 325i. I'm very pleased with this product and would recommend it for any E46 owner. Thanks for the video Karl, keep-em coming!
is it just me or does that filter look a little too small?

Would any aftermarket air intake affect the emission control system for the bmw m3 E46 for example -engine warning light turning on?

Does this intake adds any power to the car by itself? Many people saying that stock intake on m3 better than aftermarkets.?

What sound does it make ?

@euro944t A nice growl when you get on it, nothing too crazy. Definitely louder than stock.
