BMC install and review
I figured, for $180, it was worth it to see if these BMC filters are actually any good.
Install is easy, but I laid out the steps in case anyone needs to see. It helps, a little. Probably don't need cone filters unless you want more turbo whistle. https://machineswithsouls.com/2021/1...iy-and-review/ Hope it helps for anyone on the fence.

Appreciate the write up! Thanks for sharing!
Did you notice any increase in the sound? Only reason I'm considering an entire intake system is for more sound (not concerned with the performance gains). Not expecting a simple filter swap to match the sound increase of a tube change/cone filter, but curious if there is any noticeable difference.

It's funny, maybe it's me, but my wife's X3 M40 sounds louder on accelerating than my G80. If you want more sound, I'd say get the cone setup.

It's smoother pulling to redline for sure, but I don't notice a noise increase.

As I said in the post, response and smoothness are the biggest benefit.
