Description:
This intake system uses a special mandral bent 89 mm diameter tube with a CNC machined boss welded on it to place the air filter in cold air stream. The special boss is provided for those models with an air temperature sensor. A threaded plug is included to seal off the boss for those models without an air temperature sensor. Our intake works with HID headlamps. Kit includes high flow air filter, intake tube, connection hose, mounting hardware, bracket and installation instructions.

It seems that few aftermarket BMW parts manufacturers get the acclaim that Racing Dynamics does, and it's for good reason. The U.S.-based company has a long history of producing only the best aerodynamic and performance parts for Bavaria's finest sports cars, and if it'll make your BMW look or perform better, there's a good chance that Racing Dynamics makes it. The best part is, even though we're talking about BMW parts, they are surprisingly affordable. No unnecessary hype, just quality parts that work!
Q: Are cold air intakes offered for every vehicle?
A: Cold air intakes are not offered for every vehicle and are vehicle specific. There are no universal kits available on the market.
Q: Do you have to buy an air filter if you're buying a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually sold with all the components needed including the filter and all adapters.
Q: How do you install a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are a true bolt-on application. The removal of your factory air box and resonator will be needed and the cold air intake installed in its place. Basic hand tools are needed, and the intake installs in minutes.
Q: What's the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn't make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall.
Q: What do cold air intakes do? Why buy a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes bring more air into the engine, which creates more power during combustion. Cold air intakes will generally help with throttle response and higher power gains, adding a pleasing induction sound to your engine under acceleration. A cold air intake also significantly cleans up your under-hood appearance and makes it easier to see and access components of your engine bay.
