no sound improvement as the intake structure really muffles sound....this isnt the X5m or a track car, its luxury cruising at its finest.

i took the plastic engine cover off, and noticed i could hear more engine....nothing crazy tho just un muffled.

in all honesty, the filters probably aren't totally worth it, but then again, i just sold my x5 for a jacked up jeep rubicon....my priorites are all fd up
