please post some decent vids up though with the sound as I haven't heard any decent videos as yet, and I would be interested!

This is my effort - I'll let you decide if it's decent or not! Just a few short clips from a drive a few weeks ago. It's just rough GoPro footage. I've done no real editing on it.

Sorry but not wanting to be an arse but that sounds very rough and metallic, sort of tin like rather than a nice melodic induction howl. And I've listened to all videos. Not for me... :thumbsdown: Whilst, the Gruppe M howls at the top end it is rather a lot of money for a more "urgent" last 2000 revs. It seems very difficult to get this balance of sound correct (exhaust vs induction) and maintaining / gaining an edge on performance. Frankly, I'm not sure any of these systems are really better than OEM. Manufacturers spend zillions on getting such things right and they work. Its horses for courses really and down to individual taste, but does anything this side off an M1 procar or a CSL at full cry sound really better in all conditions than OEM? Nah... Would be nice to put OEM, Evolve, Gruppe M and exhaust mode videos together for a vote.

How about it?
 
Confused - don't you have a Gruppe M and ACS exhaust ? That's not OEM, so why do you have the set up you do if you think OEM sounds best ? Just asking, not being pokey :D
 
From listening to all of these i'd still say the videos don't capture it properly. i'd probably describe it as turning the volume up 25% between 3-6krpm from memory.

I don't think a video (especially of go-pro quality) will ever give a true reflection of what an intake really sounds like. For me (and everybody I've spoken to who has heard the intake first hand) there really is no comparison. Videos do not do it justice. Certainly does not sound "tin like" in real life.
 
Sounds great mate, i heard my buddies coupe down the road who has just done this install, and as previously said, the vids/sound tracks don't do it justice.. it sounds great. hats off to Evolve for bringing a quality product to the market. and its bloody cheap :) nice kit, id have no qualms recommending one if you don't wanna go the whole alpha N hog.

not sure you can put this on the same field as /real mods/ like "Supercharging", but for what its worth, its a darn good sounding kit. hat off to Evolve. :D

Been messing with the GoPro again. This time front mounted on the bumper using suction cup.

Edit: missed an underscore off the YouTube reference. The embed should be working now.

Nice video!

Maybe use a furry wind breaker to minimise the wind noise?
 
Just ordered one today. There is a two to three week delay as they are on back order. Just letting anyone whose interested know.

Yes you're right. I've been looking at getting a Rode VideoMic Go with deadcat to see if that makes a difference. Be good to know if anyone has experience of them at all.

Not sure about the Rode but I've just bought an olympus me-51s which seems to get good reviews. The Rode is directional so might not be best for capturing engine sound.
 
You can (finally) hear what mine sounds like from outside the car - albeit for a very short clip - with a Gruppe-M and Rogue Diablo back boxes.

About 1m50s in.

That looked a greasy track that! Lol never seen so many spins In a short space of time!
 
The Eventuri guys posted something on their Facebook this week about an Eventuri intake-equipped E46 M3 being 0.5s quicker between 60-120mph than a stock M3 in a test at Bruntingthorpe proving ground.

I'm sure they will provide more info on this thread at some point. I don't know if it was independently verified or not.
 
I have just fitted Schrick 280/272 cams, what sort of power gain can I be expecting to see with an Eventuri and remap?

Would a live mapping session for my individual car be needed or are there off the shelf maps that can be flashed remotely?

Any deals on a remap and Eventuri together?

Hi Neil

I am literally going to have this work done next week. I have also got the 280/272s. I hope to achieve a 35 hp gain. 10 from the cams, 15 from the air box and 10 from the map.
With regards to their map, they have their stock map obviously and they have one for the 288s (Schick stage 2s) They said they have never done the stage 1s, probably because most people who go Schrick go 288s for the even more aggressive top end and track focus. Therefore I am paying to have a custom map. I assume they will just take the 288 map and tone down some of the parameters and see how it performs...
