FTP Motorsport Charge-Pipe for X3 and X4 N55

Ordered these cool FTP Motorsport / Made in Taiwan / xDrive Charge-Pipe after seeing quite a few reviews after being installed on some other cars like F30 335, F87 M2, F22 M235, and F80 M3.

Then a friend of mine with X3 reassured me

I really recommended these to everyone looking for a Full Pkg at a good price, Fast Shipping and Quality!

I have this installed on my 2011 X3 35i as well, good quality, no worries of plastic breaking, and acceleration feels a little better (subjective, no data to back it up)

I installed the same on my x3 last summer. Perfect upgrade.

The bungs look slightly different, mines from mid 2017.

Just had mine delivered. Since I don't have a jack or stands going to have a performance shop put it in for me (along with a walnut blast). Anything I should tell them in advance or is it pretty straightforward? The google-translated instructions are quite sparse.

The shop would know and anyone familiar with BMW.
I saw some videos on Youtube in regards to F10 and F22 for comparisons and understanding.

Thanks just had mine put in and didn't run into any issues. Also had the shop do a walnut blast since I'm getting up there in mileage. Unfortunately, literally from the shop's driveway all the way home, I was stuck in creeping traffic (in a downpour) so can't really comment on any perceived differences. Honestly, I never really expected much of a change except maybe an improvement in idle from the walnut blast. The charge + boost pipe was purely a preventative measure.

That's how I'd look at it too. Can't imagine this would actually change anything.
