To be ghetto or not?

I bent on going the route to pull a high beam and make a good heatshield for my intake.

Right now the air filter is rubbing up against my hot coolant hoses, and with all the crap I have on the driver side of the engine bay simply making a box I am afraid will just cut off more air.

So what should I do oh r3v masters?

[bmwm3n528]

Lose your cruise control.

[equate975]

already gone

[rede30]

move you coolant res or ditch the abs, loosing the light is a rough look.

[Bimmerista]

Drop a turbo

i'm having the same issue. I think i'm just going to try and fab up a nice heatshield once i get a new cone filter.

[MR 325]

I'm sorry but get a better air filter! That thing is horrible.

[delatlanta1281]

yeah it's a ractive I got at eurotech in atlanta, it came with another heatshield cover, but I took that off. I gotta get a new one. But I really cant justify it, it doesn't seem like it would make a difference.

[bmwm3n528]

Yeah, that's an incredibly coned filter.

[MR 325]

Thw word chode comes to mind actually.

[nando]

stock airbox, cone filters on stock motors are a waste of time and money. no need to ditch any lights, abs or coolant expansion tanks then - leave that shit to people at E30tech.

[delatlanta1281]

I agree. Our airbox is cold enough. you could always drill the bottom out.

[X2theZ3]

yeah,

the stock airbox doesnt fit the m50/s50 hfm too well.

[delatlanta1281]

nope not to well at all.
