In BMWs 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!

Features:

• Adds up to 10+ Horsepower
• Dramatic sound improvement
• Super fast install and removal
• Improves throttle response 
• Retains OEM airbox base as a heat shield
• Retains OEM cold air ducting
• Looks great under the hood
• Cleanable and reusable filter
• Made in the USA

In BMW's with the B46 engine, 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 a new high flow inverted performance cone 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 the turbo spooling!

ALTA Cold Air Intake System, specially designed for the R53 6-speed manual. Crafted from laser-cut aluminum sheet metal and precision CNC bent, this intake system ensures perfection in form and function. Finished with a durable black texture powder coating, it not only offers long-term protection but also delivers an OEM appearance.

The airbox of the ALTA Cold Air Intake seals to the underside of the hood, effectively preventing under-hood heat from infiltrating the intake airstream. This enhancement ensures cooler, denser air intake, resulting in improved engine performance. With the ALTA intake system, your BMW will produce a distinct throaty, deep tone on throttle, accentuating its modified nature. Additionally, it amplifies the sound of your supercharger, whether stock or aftermarket.

Featuring a high-flow foam filter, this intake system significantly reduces intake restriction while expanding the surface area for the engine to intake clean air. Unlike cotton or gauze-type filters, the foam-based filter facilitates multi-layer filtration, effectively trapping dirt at various levels. This superior filtration capability results in improved particulate restriction without compromising horsepower, even as the filter accumulates dirt.

Benefits:

• Precision-crafted aluminum construction for durability
• Under-hood heat prevention for cooler, denser air intake
• Enhanced engine performance and modified engine tone
• High-flow foam filter for reduced intake restriction
• Multi-layer filtration without compromising horsepower
