I purposely made mine blend it and boring looking so it wouldn't stand out, last thing I want is attention.

It's not even low, it's probably in the top 10% of the world's highest R33s LOL

I think this proves my point moreso than yours, this is absolutely a more sporting looking vehicle than a M340i sedan. It is boring to you as you've seen it for many years, this is the human condition 😛

Sadly no M340i wagon available here (NZ has them). Could have replaced the Tiguan

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

the M340i Wagon sure makes me horny, too bad we don't get it here  

Mrs Dose Pipe also says no to wagons, SUVs or a UTE(lolwtfbbq yes) only for a family car. I can get a wagon as a daily for myself though

If need wagon then rs4 will tick the box

Price difference brah, M340i is still dreaming territory in terms of coinage, RS4 is true drug dealer league lol

They were talking M3s at one stage which the price point is closer the the rs4 and then both can see who has the bigger stone attached to their resale value

LOL... bloody surrounded by haters here!

Updates soon, promise  

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Updates to the intake department, using an old intake pipe as a guide. That's going too 😁

Yeah I know, could easily reuse it blah blah blah but I want to sell it as a kit with my old intake cover, catch can setup.

Just final mock ups before it sees the powder coater with the subframe.

As someone who is just starting to adapt the JSAI alloy airbox into my car..... and realising how 'fun' its gonna be.

What's the bottom line of this look like, the one that follows the chassis, lines, etc?

So... how does it seal, and not just pull air from the engine bay via the gaps?

there's no real "seal" however there is sufficient air to be drawn from the OEM side mount piping holes, guard, etc.

Would be great to fully seal it and have it suck only chilled external air, however it's a turbo car, with a decent FMIC so I'm not too concerned with the compressor inlet temperature, just as long as the intake air temp is sub 40~50 degrees at full tilt with awful amounts of boost thrown at it.

You don't need to "seal" an airbox, you just need the air coming in to positively pressurise the space enough to stop hot air being drawn in. 

Just having an air guide can be enough on its own depending what's feeding it. 

[Kinkstaah]

Surely having a pod in there removing all of the air in the box will cause it to draw from around the edges? I guess not with an air ram/scoop but the proof is in the IAT's really... but as discussed _less_ important on a turbo car as your intercooler is doing most of the work. But it helps to lessen the load the cooler must do though.
