ECS High-Flow Intake for E46 – Unleash Performance and Induction Sound
Transform your E46 driving experience with the ECS High-Flow Intake, engineered for improved airflow, exhilarating induction noise, and a noticeable performance boost. Designed as a direct replacement for your restrictive factory intake, this system lets your engine breathe freely while delivering the aggressive intake sound every enthusiast craves.
Why Upgrade?
The factory intake system prioritizes refinement over performance, limiting airflow and muffling the intake noise for a subdued driving experience. The ECS intake changes the game by significantly increasing air intake efficiency and enhancing the auditory excitement under your hood. It’s a must-have for those seeking the perfect balance of power and sound.
Featured in Action:
Catch this intake in action on the ECS YouTube channel's "Chasing Down Track Times at Pitt Race!" episode, see and hear the difference for yourself.
Key Benefits:
Increased Airflow: Boosts intake efficiency by approximately 27%, flowing an average of 71 CFM more than the stock system.
Enhanced Induction Noise: Enjoy the raw, satisfying sound of air rushing into your engine.
Factory Compatibility: Maintains the stock air induction track and MAF location, allowing a seamless switch back to the factory airbox if needed.
Premium Design Features:
Constructed from durable, lightweight 6061 and 5052 aluminum with a wrinkle-black powder coat finish.
Includes a 7” oiled cotton gauze ECS filter for optimal filtration and airflow.
Silicone intake boot with improved flow replaces the failure-prone factory accordion boot, featuring provisions for F-connector and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.
Stainless steel M6 hardware and aluminum brackets ensure a secure and reliable installation.
Complete Kit Contents:
Silicone inlet
Aluminum MAF flange
Mounting bracket
7” ECS filter (black)
Seals, clamps, and hardware for easy installation
Upgrade your E46 with the ECS High-Flow Intake for a driving experience filled with power, sound, and excitement. Breathe new life into your engine – order now!

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.
Key benefits:
Flows on average 71 CFM more than the stock intake system, a ~27% increase in intake efficiency
Increased induction noise
Maintains factory air induction track
Maintains Stock MAF location, allowing user to switch back to the stock airbox and retain the ECS Silicone boot if desired
Design:
Durable, lightweight 6061 and 5052 aluminum intake tube and bracket design, finished in wrinkle black powder coat
Mounts to locations on chassis utilizing Stainless Steel M6 hardware
MAF mounts to intake using aluminum brackets sealed to intake system with OEM fitment
Maximizes available engine bay space to fit oiled ECS cotton gauze 7” filter
Silicone intake boot with improved flow characteristics replaces failure-prone facotry accordion intake boot with provisions for F-connector fitting and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve inlet

Introducing the do88 Intake System for BMW 320i and 330i G20 – Engineered for Maximum Performance!
At do88, we understand that filtration, airflow, and heat management are crucial when designing an intake system for turbocharged engines.
Our intake system is designed to provide the turbo with excellent filtration, an optimized airflow path, and consistently low inlet temperatures. One of the key challenges with the B48/B46 engine is the intake system’s location near the exhaust manifold, which generates intense heat and causes rapid heat soak.
High intake air temperatures (IATs) can significantly reduce engine performance, as hot, less dense air makes it harder for the turbo to build boost efficiently. To address this, our fully sealed intake system minimizes heat exposure and maintains low IATs. However, fully sealed systems can face airflow restrictions due to the factory airbox’s single air feed. We resolved this by adding a secondary air feed and incorporating a heat shield into the airbox design to block heat from the exhaust manifold. The large 7” airbox ensures ample airflow around the filter and accommodates strut braces.
We replaced the stock intake hose with a high-flow 102mm (4”) mandrel-bent aluminum pipe paired with a custom silicone hose. The system also features a custom-designed air filter with tightly woven cotton gauze for exceptional filtration. The filter is washable, reusable, and built for long-lasting performance.
Unlike the stock air filter box and intake hose, which are designed with silencers to reduce turbo and induction noise, the do88 system eliminates these elements. This allows for a more pronounced and engaging turbo spool and induction sound, giving you a truly dynamic driving experience.
