Got my MP intake fitted today after picking it up last night from the nice guy selling the sweet 130i.
A doddle to fit so it only took about 20 minutes, including getting my tools together.
I was a bit sceptical on if I'd hear it over the MP exhaust, but I wasn't to be disappointed! You wouldn't know it's fitted until you hit 3k revs, that's when the tone changes and it lets out a bark all the way to the redline :D
The aural pleasure is even more pronounced with the window dropped a bit.
Suffice to say, I'm chuffed with my purchase.

Nice one Ram knew you'd be impressed. It's good with the MPE and it's good with the intake but both together is just spectacular!!! Roll on summer woop woop

Just need to change my front brake discs this week and I'll lose that most annoying ticking that I could hear when the windows were down.

Yep, I think my window will be down everytime I drive it come spring time.
They do compliment each other very nicely indeed.

They're also a great bit of engine bay porn.

I'd be interested to see what you think on long motorway journeys as cruising speed is usually right around the 3k rev mark and the induction noise can get a bit much for me.

Must be getting old :cry:

They are, you're right :cool2:
I have heard they can drone a bit, so I'll have to see how I get on......if anything, it'll mean we have to put miles on my mrs's car :lol2:

It does have a slight drone at 80mph/3k revs... But you get used to it, either that or as twenny said, speed up a tad :D

To get away from the drone you either have to drive like a granny or do 90 plus.

I just settle for turning the music up....

Luckily I don't do many motorway miles and most of the time it's just me, so the noise is fine.

Looks great in it's new home especially with the fantastically clean engine bay :)

Stay off the motorway and take the back roads, they're more fun.

You enjoying yours ?

No drone for me on the motorways, I just stick the window up.
