Ironically, the performance gains are pretty much the same across the board when it comes to intakes.

:hi: Go to www.ecisbmw.com and check the Intakes out. One of the best selling points for me, was the fact that these Intakes are Cali CARB Certified. In other words, you'll pass your Smog Inspection with one. :thumbup:mackypatron said:Where is the best place to purchase ECIS?
OK, so this may be a stupid question, but how much louder over stock in an intake such as the ECIS? I am trying to keep it as close to stock sounding as possible (got sick of previously car...acura with I/H/E) and want to keep that nice quiet ride. I would like to get the Shark but feel that it is a bit of a waste without the added power it gives you with an intake. Thanks.325 & 55 said::hi: Go to www.ecisbmw.com and check the Intakes out.

the addition of any intake will have a noticeable increase in volume under acceleration. the car will not sound anywhere near stock.deviant94ex said:OK, so this may be a stupid question, but how much louder over stock in an intake such as the ECIS?

my GruppeM is pretty quiet below 3,500, under normal driving conditions...when i get aggressive with the throttle or bring the revs up to 5,500 or so, it ROARS.
Shark you ask?? Do a :search: and you'll find out but in a nutshell, it's a software reprogrammer, eliminates speed and rev limiter and makes your bimmer a bit peppier....2000_328CI said:Shark? What exactly is that. I'm going to buy the grouppem.
