What choices do we have for Intake Scoops?

Is it just TTM and Fab Tech ?

Im looking to buy some right now and I couldnt find anyone else who makes them.

Thanks

Technically the only design available was T/T/M.... A few unscrupulous members decided to rip off the design and offer it for sale as their own product.

For starters you could probably just cut out the flaps on the stock bits to open them up a little, and then swap out the DS intake tube for the SL55 version. It gets rid of the "squeezed" area in the E55 part. Or you could get a nice set of Carbonio intake tubes if that's your thing....

Let me know if you are interested in a used TTM black set and also have a set of Carbon Fiber intake tubes too.

Got Mine in today and installed this afternoon. Not expecting any add power, just something to neaten up that dark blank area. Good quality, super simple install. They actually just sit there by the one bolt and direct the air to the intake tubes. People mention the Larger Tubes, Are they made for the E63 also????????

Personally, I didn't care and was glad someone offered them...but if you want to be technical, you should call TTM unscrupulous. I'm pretty sure I made mine before they offered theirs.

Which, reminds me...OP, just make your own. Super easy to mock up with cardboard then cut, fold, and drill cheap sheet metal and paint as desired!
