Dinan High Flow Cold Air Intake Systems develop horsepower and torque gains by improving the engine's intake airflow. The aggressive system design provides for a less restrictive intake airflow than the stock system for greater engine efficiency and the lowest possible intake air temperatures. The Intake Systems replace the factory air box with a cylindrical performance filter and carbon fiber intake pipe. The filter is relocated to a separate compartment behind the front bumper and below the headlights in order to insulate it from engine compartment heat and maximize exposure to outside air. The filter to airflow meter pipe is designed to minimize air turbulence and maximize efficiency. The newest version of the system goes back to its carbon fiber roots for a more showroom worthy appearance complete with an embossed Dinan logo. This revised logo a marked improvement over the inset Mylar decal that was prone to marring after decades of use on the original E36 CF intake. Features: More Power: + 12 HP @ 6000 RPM, + 11 LB-FT @ 6000 RPM (coupled w/ engine software). Improved throttle response. Re-designed carbon fiber tube with updated logo for long-lasting durability. Uses a larger cylindrical performance filter for increased flow. Filter re-located to maximize exposure to cooler outside air. 50 State Emissions Legal: CARB EO D-176-14.

BMW enthusiasts seeking to elevate the performance of their M52 & S52 engines can now explore an enticing solution with this product. While these engines represent improvements over the M50 and S50, they come equipped with an intake manifold featuring smaller runners, designed to maximize low-end torque but at the expense of high-RPM horsepower.

Many enthusiasts opt for the widely adopted modification of replacing the restrictive OBDII manifold with the OBDI M50 manifold. However, it's crucial to note that mishandling this modification can result in vacuum leaks and trigger the check engine light.

This all-inclusive kit presents an effortless way to install the M50 manifold on an M52/S52 engine while preserving essential OBDII functions, including the factory cyclone-style oil separator. The kit includes a meticulously crafted CNC-machined adapter, accompanied by all the required hardware and gaskets, ensuring a seamless installation process. Notably, this modification is entirely reversible if you opt to revert to your stock manifold. For a complete installation, consider the availability of the modified fuel rail cover (ES3028165).

Kindly be aware that, depending on the application, certain modifications to the ICV breather tube may be necessary.
