Affluence carbon fiber scoop install fits all v8 turbo x5/x6

600whp s4 · 08-05-2015, 05:08 PM

about a 10 min install and i paired them with BMC filters for a oem look and extra performance much better than my RPI scoops on my M5 they will be making me carbon scoops for my M5 soon. they cost $550 for full tubes or $350 for half scoops only i just did the tubes i think its a cheap price for works of art. They fit perfect easy to install and look mean in the kidney grills

They look great! Where did you pick them up from?

Excellent device to increase your chances of hydrolocking the engine.

You going to get them? If so let me know how you like the scoops as I'm curious myself. I can't help it, I see a mod I need the mod lol...

DrMattN40 · 08-07-2015, 12:58 AM

Any noticeable increase in performance?

up top it seems to help fro 50 mph plus

WallyM5 · 08-10-2015, 11:30 PM

I had them on my M5, you pick up another 7-10HP when over 50-60mph. I would imagine on the turbo engine you may pick up a little bit more.

Nice post

Nice optics, but I don't think it's useful..

These should be a bright orange, red or something so they can be seen through the grills like the E60 intakes I've seen.

m5james · 08-19-2015, 12:03 AM

Red carbon fiber then lol. Point is they'd stand out more.

couple sets sold

fastcarz4life · 09-05-2015, 02:12 PM

Any pictures with the grill installed?

m5james · 09-05-2015, 07:30 PM

Various threads over various boards, but I've yet to see pics of the longer version and/or anything proving these actually make power vs your butt dyno. Granted they're carbon fiber, but when are you going to provide proof of increased performance, otherwise $350-$550 (4-5x as much as Mechunik scoops) is a bit much for carbon bling that no one will even see.
