there are not tons of aftermarket intakes ont the market fot the M275 engine family.

The renntech CF airbox is expensive, but it looks killer with a factory look and can add a few horses especially with a good tune.

The Speedriven Scorpion intake is a part of Speedriven's upgrade kits. It has been designed mainly to free some space for the Fat *** intercoolers speedriven does.It surely flows better than the stock airbox.

if you dont feel like spending money for starters add a set of K&N filters and remove the wire mesh screens on the front of the air box.
