Best Resonator & Cold Air kits?

[DurtyHoe]

Curious to see what kits some of you have gone with and how well did they perform for you considering your local driving conditions? Looks into S&B so far, seems to be the go to for most.

Without a tune, and intake will only provide VERY minimal gains and more sound. There is a YouTuber who put the PPE resonator delete and PPE intake hose kit and did see some minimal gains.

You could look into those.

EDIT: He just posted his video on the S&B Intake:

BMW & MB both offer 3.0L in-line six turbo diesels for some of their European sedans and SUV's. The BMW & MB engines have the identical output to the LM2 when statistics are converted to US units. The BMW & MB engines also come in higher trim levels with higher output, same displacement. I believe the higher output engines run higher boost and have bigger exhaust. You could probably tune an LM2 on a dynomometer after adding a boost controller and a bigger exhaust pipe, but I would not want to be the tuner's first one. Then again there's the example of the Volkswagen Passat diesel that ran like a champ with cheater software, not so much when emissions compliant.
