Eventuri VAI Carbon Intake Kit for the Z4M details

Is there much difference between them in terms of sound?

Id say so , in my experience you have to listen for the eventuri to differentiate over the normal S54 induction noise which tbf is already pretty vocal from stock , the gruppe on the other hand is audible in its own right :oops: its very distinctive imo
 
I have the aFe intake. Being made of metal not carbon fibre it isn't as pretty, but I prefer the sound and it was half the price. In my opinion, the Eventuri over-accentuates the base tones that are not characteristic of the S54. The aFe has an induction raw that becomes a scream as the rev climbs. It's loud enough to scare pedestrians when blipping the throttle but doesn't drown my Remus back boxes.
I have a GruppeM in another car and the finish is beautiful, but I'm not sure that justifies the enormous price.
These things are person taste of course, but I would try to listen to a few alternatives before you order anything.

Scaring pedestrians sounds fun :rofl: what sort of price is the afe intake?
 
I’m not sure of the current price, I bought mine around six or seven years ago when it was a few hundreds versus many hundreds for the GruppeM and thousands for a CSL-style intake.

Personal taste indeed - I feel the opposite. To me the Eventuri sounds slightly better than the AFe and I think it's the way the bell shaped housing amplifies the sound and makes it sound deeper. I DIY'd my Eventuri style intake though, so if I was paying full price I'm not sure I could justify the price difference. Both give lovely growls!

I hadn't seen anything about the AFE - but after listening to it sounds immense! Just can't seem to source one easily to the UK - Frsport seems the cheapest but in the states and they don't get great reviews

Would really like one now though!
