Any suggestions on intakes for my 430?

Are there any aftermarket intake systems that actually increase HP on our 430's? I am tempted to just buy the K&N replacement air filter. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
AL

Right now any intake would be a cutom fabrication (other than the +5 hp for thousands carbon fiber one, or the 55 AMG one which some report yields more hp, but without seeing conclusive dyno tests, I doubt the claims). Go ahead an put the K&N's in and buy some heat wrap for for your airbox and intake tubes.

if you think i can't afford it, why even bother to post it, you idiot! If i'm NOT mistaken, you are the idiot that boasted that you will be getting some type of BS degree in 6 months, using grammar at the 4th grade level. That is really great dood. People that work at McDonalds and Kmart also speak and write at your level. You need to get off your "i'm so rich and you aren't" seat you are sitting on and invest in Hooked on Phonics. If you want to be a good doggy , keep on following me around. RUFF RUFF>

Who said anything about $400/month? who said anything about a lease? Always assuming that you knw everything, huh? I guess that's how people that live off their parent's money think. u can be donald trump for all i care. This is the internet, you idiot. Anybody can say they own whatever they want. As a matter of fact, i'm suprised you said that you owned only 3 cars. LOL. I sure trained you well to follow me to every post i start, huh? Good dog.

This is a private forum not a free internet public forum. If you think you can say whatever you want such as lying about quality of a product u bought from one of sponsors u will get banned. Why? Your bull***** thread about the carlsson bumper u bought from eurorev make the company sales decline and mbworld dont like their sponsors left because of you.

Oh, I am not that WEAK like you bragging 540i and NSX in CLK forum. ROTFL you weak poor cheap lil doggy.
