Upgrade your E46 driving experience by adding induction noises and increased air flow. Let your engine breath by removing the suffocating enclosed intake box and get ready to hear sounds you never thought your naturally aspirated inline 6 could make. Whoever said you need forced induction to make addicting suction noises clearly has not tried this system.
With the factory intake you are limited to a finite amount of air, this leaves your engine under-served and limits induction noise. When it comes to the recipe for upgrading your E46 there are a few ingredients that you must have; aesthetics, power and sound. Start with the power and sound right in front of you in the engine bay with our M52TU intake. A free flowing intake that boasts a roaring induction noise capable of outperforming your factory intake for a noticeable bump in sound and performance.
The factory intake box is also referred to as a muffler/silencer specifically designed to lower the induction noise for a refined driving experience, this helped exponentially when selling the cars out of the show room circa early 2000's. We as enthusiasts are no longer interested in subdued intake noise and limited air-flow; we want pure induction noise, we want to hear the air surging into the engine as we push down on the go fast pedal. Our ECS Intake was designed with the enthusiast in mind to enhance your driving experience and get you excited to drive your car time and time again. A simple yet effective design composed of a silicone inlet tube, powder coated MAF flange and seamless integration with the OE fresh air scoop that also leverages stock mounting locations.
