I am N26 as well, Hi5 on that!.

I am also on the edge about putting almost half a grand towards an intake for nongains. But I am equally very interested in sound gains, but not wanting to go over 300-350$ mark.

I do want it for better nosie and improved airflow, as in future (post-warranty) plan to track the car (+bolt ons).

Catch Can
So it is worth the investment. I plan to keep my car as long as possible, and thus the reason I have been curious about catch can. Where did you guys follow the install instructions? I am usually handy but scared to mess around with all those PVC's in a tight spot, advice? Did you observe any performance hits, and would you recommend to install one. sspade s3ri3s1

BMS catch can was my first mod and has given me zero issues. Catches a bunch of garbage every 5k.
