Made it in metal shop. It's 1/16 in. stainless with 3/16 in. holes. The car currently has a cone filter. My question is, will it help get more air to the filter? And what will be the benefit of this, performance wise?

That's what I plan on doing, but before I even put it on I want to know if this would be beneficial.Originally posted by Mike325 View Post1990 Alpinweiss 325i - secret 500whp buildOriginally posted by audiquattrot

the argument is that the stock air box flows better than an exposed/heatsheilded filter in the engine bay. Someone posted actual temp numbers a while ago and it seems that the stock airbox, though it doesnt look as cool or sound as cool, actually flows and cools better.

Just get a k&n drop-in filter and you're done. There's a reason K&N cold air intakes are only $100 lol. If you don't plan on tuning your car, I wouldn't mess with the air/fuel ratio at all. I don't know much about tuning right now, but I've always said to myself "Okay, I really don't know what I'm doing, so until I do, stock is best." As you can imagine I havn't had any problems yet! :DComment
