I drove down to portland last night and picked up a stage 4 intake for my car. The install was very easy, I only wish that it was where everyone could see cool it looks. Install time is about an hour, but the pay off is so worth it. You can certainly feel the difference in pull, BUT the sound difference..OMG. I can hear my turbo spinning along while driving in third. When you step on it the turbo spool is nice and loud..Hell I got flashed by two girls in another M3 on my way to work this morning. Which brings up another point, it girls have peircings..How do they go through security at the airport:lmao::lmao: Anyways back on topic.. the intake is a great up grade to an already great kit.

I jacked my car up in the garage to loosen the clamps on the old hose coupler. You get a new biger one...I can take the old intake pipe and place in inside the new one..Damn it I should have taken a pic of that when i did it.
Vids of boobies or car....Wait I'll do both..now where are those girls..:lmao:

I think it has become all business for them over there and they have forgotten that without the enthusiast the sight wouldnt exist.
Its rediculous for them to "invite" ppl to leave the way they did in the PM i got including the infraction, as if to say they dont NEED me over there. truth is they DO.....if the drive away all the enth usiasts, there wont be any need for the sight.

I completely agree. It is us the enthusiasts that keep these forums alive..us the little people.

I dont want to start ANOTHER anti m3forum thread here. But I am pretty disappointed that the same thread I have here was removed and the thread name was changed to "HPF Spam" I have been a loyal support of VF and HPF and still am today of both. Yet I am treated like I was trying to pull a fast one on m3forums.

The attempt of your thread was to share your excitement of a product with other enthusiasts. In no way was it spam, or an attempt to sell a product. It was just sharing a positive experience. If we can't share our positive or negative experiences of products with others on forums, then what point will forums continue to serve? It is really disappointing that a moderator would decide that is "spam" and thus delete it. To me, that is completely unacceptable.

I got the new intake also....although I haven't had a chance to hear it yet. It sounds like everyone is happy with it so far, which makes me excited to get my car back. As far as that "other forum".....I haven't logged on for over a year, and have no intention of it anytime soon.

Their a bunch of :censor: over there! I think the only reason they called it spam was for the reason being that you put up a picture of the product and they won't allow HPF to post or over there.
