I was going for Eventuri, now I’m unsure. Any data would be appreciated Z4M_GT3
Ross not sure if this helps as I dont have experience with AFE or anything else but I have the Eventuri setup and I am happy with it. It looks great in place and I believe that it actually smoothed out the throttle response a bit. I cant say that i noticed any HP or torque gain or loss for that matter, but it looks and sounds good.
From what I've read on this forum the eventuri is a very nice intake and beautifully constructed. It really looks great in the engine bay and fits the quality and precision of an M engine. Some say it's not quite as loud as the AFe but close. It's not open to the heat of the engine, so that's a plus. But I haven't seen any dyno comparisons of the two. For looks, I think the eventuri has it. For performance, idk, it may be a wash. (Someone chime in here if they can say one is better than the other.) For sound, the AFe is a little louder. For price the AFe is around $500 while the Eventuri is close to $900.
