In BMW's with the N55, the intake system is partially limited. The bottom portion is lightweight and great for feeding cold air to the intake, but the top portion is excessively restrictive. Working with some of the original equipment, this intake continues to utilize the bottom portion of OE ducting and heat shielding, but replaces the top with new high flow ducting and a performance filter. Extensive testing showed up to a 10+ HP gain to the wheels and allows for quicker turbo spool speed. Plus, this design gives you a great sound improvement, letting you hear both the intake and turbo spooling!
Installation and removal is extremely quick and easy, taking only 5 minutes in the driveway!

Amplify your driving experience with heightened turbo/induction sound, along with increased air flow, throttle response, and overall performance.
Discover a whole new driving experience, complete with captivating induction sounds, heightened throttle response, and noises you have not yet heard from your turbo. Unleash the full potential of your turbo and engine by ditching the restrictive enclosed intake box. The factory intake is no match for your N55 paired with the Luft-Technik Intak Intake.
It is important to highlight the distinctive dual-cone filter design, featuring a standard conical shape with a smaller inverted cone in the center. This configuration produces an exhilarating sound when lifting off the throttle. The airflow pattern as air exits the filter creates a unique turbo flutter sound, adding to the excitement of the driving experience.
The stock intake box, often labeled as a muffler/silencer, is engineered to dampen induction noise for a more refined ride. However, as enthusiasts, we crave the exhilarating sound of our induction as we accelerate. Our ECS intake is tailored for enthusiasts who seek a heightened driving experience. Crafted with function in mind, it features a silicone coupler, rotomolded inlet tube, heat shield, and filter, seamlessly integrating with the OE fresh air scoop and utilizing stock mounting locations. Experience enhanced performance and a renewed passion for driving with the ECS Luft-Technik Intake for your N55.
