Please chime in n let me know what y'all have what has been the performance feel. I don't care about sound that much.

Thanks
MSR Performance has my vote although not on your list. Intakes sit behind the front grills.
So no issues with water intake during car washes or rain with front mount intakes? Did u feel any performance gain?
I had MSR on my M5 F10 for two years as well as others. Never had a single issue with water. When I drive from Dallas to Houston in a heavy downpour, I was curious to see if any water made it inside. I took the filters off and checked at both ends and saw no water.

As for performance, George has VBOX, Dyno, and 1/4 mile runs to show there are some gains although people will argue that intakes make no gains. Personally, every time I went back to stock and back, I felt there was a major difference in throttle response, the car seemed to be very responsive and the car pulled harder over 4K RPM which is consistent to what the date shows. There are several others here in TX running MSR and will have the same feedback.
RK tunes has a similar intake and it's let's u keep the brace which msr doesn't my understanding. Will know more tomorrow once auto talent gets back to me.
