Prior to replacing my 96- e36 manifold with one from a 92-95, I was
going to install a cold air intake first; I'll install the manifold
when more funds become available. I looked at Conforti, Dinan and
ECIS, while they are all very good systems my question is why are
there so many independent, basic intakes for sale on ebay? Are they
crap? Is there a discernable difference between buying a Conforti for
$300.00 as opposed to a no name for $60.00. I know I'll have to
facbricate, or buy, a heat shield. Any thoughts?
