Hi Guys,

I know this was covered a while back... I'm really interested in getting a airbox/alpha N set up, but feel not all questions are answered ever.... So here goes ...

Where do I get one from?
What's the best brand out there?
Who installs them/alpha n tune? I live in W London
What cost involved?
Has anyone got one installed here?
Is there any performance increase?
Is the sound ... Really Like the M3 CSL?

Also if any one has got pics or any other info plz share ...

Thanks

The cheap Chinese ones are not worth even looking at, I've fitted a few Geoff steel ones to e36's and they do sound ok, but not like a csl!! As for power, the evo started with 309hp and came up to 325 with the air box and a remap. The b30 I done is running a h and h generic eBay chip and it's ok as a track car but the driveabilty is rubbish and would be useless on the road!
