The factory BMW charge pipes are prone to cracking, as they are made from brittle plastic. Here at Turner, we sell several brands of replacement charge pipes that are typically made from cast aluminum. We recommend upgrading to hard charge pipes even on stock forced induction vehicles to avoid cracking - we've seen cracking occur on high mileage cars running stock power just as frequently as we do with high horsepower builds.
If you are looking to improve your intake system, a major component to consider is your charge pipe. The stock plastic BMW charge pipe is flimsy, prone to cracking, and restricts airflow at high RPMs. This results in unreliability and restricted power. ECS Tuning's new line of powder-coated Aluminum Charge Pipes are designed to replace your stock pipes, offering increased strength, reliability, and higher airflow! Using aluminum construction and black powder coating, this pipe not only looks great but is structurally stronger and won't crack after long-term exposure to heating/cooling cycles. This is perfect for anyone who is looking for more power, whether the car is stock, or highly modified. Additionally, all OE ports are retained and all clips and seals are included for installation! There's no longer a need to reuse your stock clip and o-ring. As an added bonus, water/meth bungs have been added to the design for those who are looking to get the highest levels of performance out of their BMW's engine! Features: OEM Fitment Increased diameter and airflow Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag. Powder-coated black aluminum piping. CNC Machined Throttle Body Flange Includes two 1/8' NPT bungs for meth/water injection. Includes everything necessary to upgrade from factory chargepipe. 3-Ply Reinforced Silicone Couplers 1-Year Limited Warranty against defects or workmanship
