    I'll do new baselines on the 325is with the m20 horn, then with the s14 horn, then no horn. Let me know if theres anything else you would like to try.
    Cool,
    It could be the great e30 Air intake mod shoot out!!
    Here are the setups:
    cone air filter
    airbox and stock filter, 1)stock horn, 2) s14 horn,3) no horn
    airbox and a k&n,1) stock horn 2) s14 horn 3) no horn
    airbox no filter 1) stock horn 2) s14 horn 3) no horn
    no airbox, no filter


    Got it all? :shock:
    It's only 11 runs, lol
    All of that just to prove that intakes (filters) don't do crap on E30's.

        With my old eta engine, I got an extra 3.2 RWHP and 1.7 RWT with the air filter removed (stock airbox).

            I dunno. Maybe the guy running my car in the dyno felt some extra pull ;).

              Fred, we are talking about the horn, not the filter.

                        Doh, forgot to update.

                        The M3's airhorn doesn't fit onto the m20's airbox, plus I forgot that M3's had larger airflow meters so the airhorn is larger in diameter than the m20's so it wouldn't do much good if it did fit.
