Intake Systems
An aftermarket intake system
(a.k.a. "Cold Air Intake" or "CAI") replaces your factory air filter element &
airbox as well as some intake tubing with the following:
- new, higher-flow air filter element
(usually, a 3.0" cone filter)
- new tubing that provides for a better air
path
- and necessary hardware to install the kit
Because of the new high-flow and smoother
air stream characteristics of the new intake system, more horsepower is
produced by simply increasing the amount of air your engine receives. More
air means more fuel is combusted, delivering a noticeable power increase
(as much as 11 rear wheel horsepower from a CAI alone).
Eurosport EvoII
Carbon Fiber Intake System (return to top)
| Because the Ultimate Driving Machine deserves the Ultimate in Engineered High Performance Upgrades, no expense is spared in producing the strongest, lightest, and most powerful shielded intake systems on the market.
Eurosport intake systems are made from the finest materials and manufacturing processes available. This means that the intake pipes are made from multi-layered compression molded carbon fiber, instead of the heavy steel pipe typically found in most low quality intake systems. Compression molded carbon fiber is lighter, stronger, and has a heat transfer coefficient that is 50 times lower than that of steel. Having the best shielded intake system on the market also means that Eurosport intake shields are made from multi-layered e-glass composite material, instead of die-cut/tin-snipped aluminum sheet metal. |

Active Autowerke Cold Air Intake (return to top)

The high-flow air filter with the intake runner will optimize the proper air
flow for peak performance and heavy, double
insulated CAIS walls will help maintain the colder air
intake charge even under extreme hot, humid conditions.
A black powder-coated grill cover is also included which
adds a finishing touch to the engine bay. Kit includes a
3.0" K&N cone air filter. |
EuroSpeed Performance m50 Intake Manifold
Kit (return to top)
Almost an M3 level of performance from this kit! Increased rev and speed
limiter! Additional power that you can feel, available at any RPM! Close
to a 40whp gain at 6000rpms over a 328 with cold air intake and exhaust
and only a 7-8lb/ft of torque loss!* Requires about 4-6 hours of
labor to install.
* Manifold, CAI, exhaust and
software, manifold alone will not
produce the gains detailed above. Requires 93 octane gasoline to achieve maximum
power gains; performance with lower octane fuel may be less.

AEM Air Bypass Valve for Cold Air Intake
Systems (return to top)
 |
Virtually eliminates the unlikely chance of
water ingestion should the filter element become wet from deep puddles,
rain, hail, sleet or snow–or any other scenario in which the filter
element could encounter or become submerged in water. The valve installs
along the upper portion of the inlet pipe on the same axis as the throttle
body centerline. Should a drop in pressure occur within the pipe due to
filter submersion, the valve shuts down induction at the filter and routes
incoming air through its external orifices, eliminating any chance of
water ingestion.
