new carbon fibre cold air intake

hi guys,

thought this was interesting.

https://www.armaspeed.com/product/bm...carbon-intake/

pricey at 1150 USD, but looks like a decent bit of gear. shame they don't do it in a less conspicuous and cheaper material

Nice catch!

Would love to understand what benefits could really bring to an eventual ecu remapping on NM torque boost

I’m curious if there would be any benefit over the Dinan I take (which is half the price):
https://www.dinancars.com/product/d7...-f33-f36-430i/

It’s listed when you search for the 2019 330i.

Plus, Eventuri is developing an intake system..for which I will probably wait for as this would probably be the best solution on the market

probably stuff all. but it looks cool AF.

it would probably be part of a nice overall boost with an exhaust and remap or piggy back.

Hey guys,

I have the Carbon Arma Speed air intake installed on my car. Got it in Matte Carbon finish!

Sounds VERY aggressive, might even scare some people out on the road

For videos, see the Instagram highlights on my profile:
https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxp...=1efrd2gczhczg

Here are some pictures:

Armaspeed carbon intake sounds amazing in your video while driving but nothing special when stationary with open hood. Carbon intake set is using 3D replacement filter and not the cone type. So they managed to get this nice sound without cone filter somehow. Perhaps the air box shape and the piping ?

Armaspeed is offering also only air intake kit (without Turbo inlet pipe):
https://www.armaspeed.com/product/bm...ke-alloy-type/

MST Performance looks even more interesting with bigger air filter, bigger air box and included big Turbo inlet pipe:
https://www.mst-performance.com/products/bw-b4802

Third option how to improve the sound is intake silencer delete but I haven't found replacement pipe anywhere. Stock air filter seems to be quite big and I am not confident that replacing it by performance filter will enhance the sound.

I'm also interested in options for deleting the resonator. It looks like MST do an intake pipe but not sure if this connects directly to the air filter box (thus removing the resonator) or not....

I think MST inlet pipe doesn't fit to stock air box.
Anyway the whole MST Cold Air Intake set is just slightly more expensive than their single inlet pipe. I am for this option. Installation seems to be easy.
Next step might be turbo muffler delete but not sure about CEL.

I'm not so sure. It looks like it simply replaces the resonator section and bolts onto the stock air filter housing.

Having installed the Pipercross air filter today, I'm hoping that adding this MST pipe will improve things

You are right. It is shown on their picture. Let's go for MST then

Got it on a really early stage, right after it was launched. So Arma Speed contacted me and, as I was one of the first G20s on Insta, I was sponsored by them. Even so, I think itīs worth the price!

No tuning was required and no CEL?

No. Pretty much plug and play

Can you provide us with an update on how the car is running and impressions after four months?

I just got first oil change in 2500km and BMW installed MST turbo inlet pipe for me it took them 1h. Filter installation was denied (warranty) so I'll do it by myself. I feel the car being more responsive now perhaps placebo. Sound is the same. Let's see in few hours...
