To all the people talking about water going in your engine. Please take a moment to understand how the engine works. The air goes from the intake filters through the hot pipes to the even hotter turbos then to the hot charge pipe into the hot intercooler then finally the engine. Unless your car is literally under water there will be no water in your engine.
Nice video and thanks for sharing! I’m a new guy to tune worlds so from what I understand about this video is that if install the cold air intake onto a stock car it might not work really well, but if to install it to a tuned car like stage2 downpipes with the ECU tune then it will work really well and gain a good result of horsepower. Am I correct?
@@bmwsincekid yea and its a little weird that he didn't show the first dyno numbers after they installed the intakes - ua-cam.com/video/cklt1vlQSTQ/v-deo.html, not saying anything for sure but fishy to say the least.
Even on mustang dynometers f8x make 390whp and on dynojets they make 420whp. You're supposed to dyno these in 5th as its 1:1 ratio, you guys dynod in the wrong gear.
Disagree. We dyno in 4th as 5th gear is to high of a speed and really not safe on the dyno. What matters is the delta not the peak number. And you have to remember we are running 91 octane with ambient temperature of near 110F here in Arizona! Neither of those are a turbos friend.
Vivid Racing The delta is what matters when you’re comparing stock to modified but the numbers are more susceptible to error if you don’t dyno in a 1:1 gear. You’re mentioning the intake adds around 17rwhp which is impossible, I’ve seen many f8x dynos on pump gas and those numbers vary greatly from your results. The temperature doesn’t mean anything since as you said you’re comparing the delta in the same conditions, the point is the numbers are way more reliable and consistent in 5th which is why every shop I know dynos these in that gear. In the real world you’re going to get around half the power gains you guys are claiming
It maybe different for mustangs. I seen many shops for Bmw specifically do 3-4 gear pulls specifically for 3 liter inline 6 engines. V8 Mustangs are totally different you can’t compare totally cars and equipment the same.
Rain is ok, washing is ok. The issue or assumption is that the intake would suck in all this water and blow your motor up. You would have to submerge the intake in water. So dont drive through 3 feet of water! At speeds, there is not enough water that is going to those filters. At the same time of washing, dont hold the hose on the filters and than immediately turn your car on. If you think for some reason you have gotten water in the intake, than stop and turn your car off. It would be the same for any intake on any car.
Thanks bro I had the same question @billy jackson. Now @vividracing you you have to tune the ecu after installation.? heard that you might get a check engine light.?
Video is about the intakes, then proceeds to show what custom tuning and dp does. Ya we know dude, not relevent to the topic at hand. That aside, I think its a good product, I just wonder how the filters hold up driving in the rain.
Ive read that you can datalog or something to see what’s happening at speed with a functional ram air intake. Im just curious, because im considering adding one to car but I have a feeling unless I find someone experienced with that it would be a tuning nightmare.
They had to remove the grilles for the install, and then just left them off to improve flow as flow is already limited on a dyno, putting the grill back on wouldn't make a difference though!
So I bought the Agency Power cold air intakes for my M4 and no instructions, no gasket, no nuts, tak welded bolts (cant replace) But I guess you get what you pay for $550. Hope they perform better than how they showed up. I'll let you know.

@@vivid_racing great test and I appreciate the way you guy's respond to feedback, be it good or bad. Keep doing what you're doing. BTW... Any love, you guy's can throw my way for my 2011 335i N55 Sedan? What offers can you share for my mods? Thanks
Hmmm dynoed on the wrong gear. Should've used 5th instead of 4th gear. Wrong result. Then claimed testing ram air intake but not really performing the ACTUAL RAM AIR condition (well you'll need a really big fan with closed /sealed routing direct to the intake mouth / performs on the road testing & measures the air pressure before & after).... So this is just a video selling the product with misleading way of testing it...😁😵

Obviously you do not know what you're talking about..
@@jasonh5220 The water just disappears lol.
*_A little water injection never hurt anything.. especially on a DI car.. if anything, it helps clean intake runners from carbon build up!😂😂_*
great video !

Fantic1980 Thanks buddy, really good to know. Appreciated.
What about the N55 and Upgrade turbocharger regarding subject intake?
I dont follow you.... but you can contact our support department to see what products are available www.vividracing.com
Why does every other Dyno video of these cars stock make 390-410whp? It's all very confusing. Great video though!
Mustang dyno
Weasel because these guys Doing it wrong :) in 4th gear...
@@bmwsincekid nothing to do with that gear. There is a slight difference in the load of 3rd and 4th, the issue is a Mustang Dyno and 91 octane.
Should be doing it in 5th or 6th gear..

Appreciate your input, I have had this dyno since 2005 and have run A LOT of cars. We did what we needed to do here.

I'm pretty sure driving in the rain for over 20 min would soak those filters, just not a great idea in my opinion. Js.

how does this m4 have AWD? i thought they only came with RWD
Its on the dyno, all 4 wheels are moving just like a real road.
@@vivid_racing damn didnt even think of that. Thank you for the response!
2020 m4 I believe have the awd option
Lol no
How is this a ram air test when the car is not moving, thus no ramming going on?..
There are FANs
Vivid Racing arent the fans normally just for cooling the car? Wouldn’t it need to be measured to mimic the desired effect?
@@slipagent6 fans are placed for the intake and intercooler. Unfortunately we dont have a wind tunnel.
Ive read that you can datalog or something to see what’s happening at speed with a functional ram air intake. Im just curious, because im considering adding one to car but I have a feeling unless I find someone experienced with that it would be a tuning nightmare.
@@slipagent6 not a tuning nightmare
Doesn’t the intakes effect radiator efficiency?
No not at all
Vivid Racing how not? They are clearly blocking the top side of the radiators.
@@jalloor because air FLOWS, its not producing heat and minimal "blockage".
Question. Would putting the grill back on make a difference? I highly doubt anyone would drive around like that.
They had to remove the grilles for the install, and then just left them off to improve flow as flow is already limited on a dyno, putting the grill back on wouldn't make a difference though!

B Barker So what’s your final opinion on them? Assuming you’ve installed & ran them for 6 months now
550$ for a intake is cheap to you? Damn...
Its rwd why a u saying awd hp 🤷♂️🤔
Won’t the filters get soaked if your drive in the rain?
We have driven through monsoon rain storms with this intake and it hasn't gotten that wet.
Hmmm dynoed on the wrong gear. Should've used 5th instead of 4th gear. Wrong result.

Ummm no. You can test in 4th. What is important is the delta.
Does the agency power intakes cause CEL?
Not at all! It was fully engineered to be a bolt-on replacement without the worry of CEL’s
My next car
sweet!
Fight for it !
Do you guys do installs on customer cars or do you just supply parts?
we no longer do installations here at our facility unless it is one of our Agency Power or VR Tuned products for marketing.
Is an ecu tune required to use this intake ? Will there be a check engine light with stock tune ?
We do recommend a ECU Tune for maximum power see here www.vividracing.com/index.php?keywords=vr+tuned+bmw+f8
I also would like to know if there would be a check engine light after install.?
plaaaaasticcc???
it's just the intake pipes and not charge so it doesn't need to be metal. plus, more metal means more weight.
Anthony T more weight means less power more fuel consumption
so cute
Thanks
335hp ?
Stock m4 makes 425 are u dumb or what ?
330 whp
WHP
Roy thats still weak!
@@bmwsincekid I heard stock make 425 how is it 335?
Why is so slow???
Slow compared to what? These vehicles blow the doors off a vast majority of anything on the road
are these intakes for sale yet?
