Free-flowing intake featuring a roaring induction noise and increased performance to replace your restrictive factory intake.

Upgrade your E46 driving experience by adding induction noise and increased air flow. Let your engine breath and listen to the sweet sweet intake sounds!

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, power and sound. While you can add an exhaust for a bit more power and sound, the biggest difference you can make is adding power and sound under your hood with a high-flow intake. The factory intake box is also referred to as a 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 being sucked into the engine as we push down on the accelerator.
