Um... Yeah!

I'm going to bed. Mine showed up today. It's the advantage of being on the East Coast. I couldn't resist putting it on. Install took me about 2 hours messing around in the garage and videoing. You guys know I'll have more.

You guys know you don't need to quote all the pics. It makes loading and reading threads on mobile devices more of a PITA

How often do you recommend filters be changed and how much will they cost? I know it will vary a bit depending on conditions of where you live.

The filters are easily removable to wash and should last pretty much the life of the car.

We take manufacturer published crank horsepower and torque numbers and calculate the drivetrain loss versus our measured wheel horsepower dyno graph (seen below).

What Money said, the filters are washable, and the air boxes are designed so that you can remove the lid, take the filters out, clean them and reinstall them without having to remove the entire airbox.

Thumbs up

Welp... between BMS and AWE, they just put their schlongs in the F8X intake kit game!! Say bye bye to ridiculous dramatically over-priced $2-3K+ intake systems of the first 12months of these cars ...I believe the retail price points are now officially set with these two functional systems (one simple, and the other carbon fiber and ritzy)

...free market capitalism at its finest!
