I havent seen this so i might as well ask it, what kind of car do you have and what engine mods do you have??

I dont have any yet but i want to get the air intake for my 83 300SD thats sold on ebay for $100 btw Anybody have that?

Everybody is rollin bone stock?

My impression is that there really aren’t many worthwhile engine modifications. There also aren’t many worthwhile exhaust modifications. The typical changes are wheels, tires, suspension, and maybe the differential on some of the V8s.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.

Unless that intake is drawing outside air, save your $100 for something else.

560 SEC:

ATI Procharger P1SC
Custom aluminum CIS air bellows to replace the rubber one
Custom headers & exhaust
MSD ignition
MSD boost timing master
Accell plug wires
Methanol/water injection
Bergwerk's first gear start

my right foot ...

well, i can say the stuff ive done has done something. Custom intake, custom exaust on my 1993 400e. 14.8 @ 93 mph first time to the track, stock diff, michelin pilots (not sports). Road and track got it 15.4 stock, so i am glad with what ive done. There are always worthwhile modifications. There is always room for improvement on any car, just depends on how much money you have

most of my performance fix is sated by my right foot. which also controls my ABS, traction control and some anti skid with help from arms, brain and the gyroscopic thing in our ears.

a 260E is not a car you drive for fun. a BMW 2002 is.
