I believe it. I was always skeptical when people said "I did a CAI and I can really feel it!" But over the weekend I did plugs and a new air filter (which was completely clogged) and I could tell the difference. The throttle response was snappy and I can now hear the air getting sucked into the motor and it does have a louder growl in the upper rpm range. I also had the negative battery terminal off for 2 days so I was thinking that the adaptations may have been reset or something because the car really is different.

give it 2 or 3 weeks of driving and you'll feel like you're back to stock. Cold starts sounds the best though when the charcoal delete and K&N.

yeah usually thats the case with any car though, get use to it. My next thing is trying to jump on a PE or Magnaflow system to listen to the engine as I shift. Sounds dumb, but makes the ride that more enjoyable. lol

Btw, I see that you have a 328. When I try to look for the exhaust for my car (2006 325i) nothing comes up... I'm pretty sure one made for the 330i should fit as well but does the made for 328s also fit the same? on e90's i mean

Yes 325/328/330 E90s all fit in terms of exhaust.

Look into my thread 328i Detail Addict exhaust, the vendor uses Magnaflow to get the most free flowing exhaust, you'll hear your car shift for sure. I'll try to make a video today. Getting a cone filter intake will make a bigger difference too.

Did your MPG really increase with stage 2? I'm assuming it's AA right?
