Have anyone managed to find air scoops for the x6 either custom ordered or ready to be purchased. If anyone have a lead on that please tell me. I heard that someone here is taking it to RPI, any news yet, please post me coz I am so interested in the scoops for my X6.
Thanx

Yes, we are making it. The intake is not completed yet because of the testing that is involved with the other projects we are doing. For example, we have to test the exhaust several times and can only test the car with the exhaust ONLY. This ensures that any performance change is not from a combination of mods. We can isolate the performance of each actual product better this way. Intake will be available soon. The exhaust is done and should be ready for sale in about 2-3 weeks.

Hi RPIpower
I have already installed the hamman exhaust system and it gave me a quite good difference yet im only interested in the intake or scoops for now. I will really appreciate being informed if its ready to be purchased or even to contact who can ship it to me as soon as possible .
regards

Sorry my camera is shot. Will have to wait until i get home to use my other camera. I'll try to post pics as soon as I can. In the meantime, my butt dyno definitely feels a stronger pull during acceleration. I'm going to try to get it dyno'd next week for some numbers.

Terrific discussion...to meit is only interested in the exhaust system to make sound more pleasent, but not too loud - because it's my every day car for work and etc.
I have on my Maserati Granturismo an amazing exhaust sound - I'd like to do something similar with X6m ( i mean the sound)
Is it possible to make a nice sound from that turbo engine?)
