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).

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. |

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

|
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.
