Just installed this today
3.5in 90° silicone elbow
3.5in 3in silicone coupler
12in 3.5 carbon tube
45° 3.5 in carbon tube
went with a aem Brute force. 9inch long
It also has the gutted elbow to the throttle body from Speed43
Hopefully will get it on the dyno this weekend.
Also going to make a heat shield this weekend.

That will definitely flow better than the kink at the back of the factory box, but I have my doubts about the heat from the engine bay regardless of a heatshield. The factory setup pulls fresher air..
Dude, you should knock out the “city lights” or parking lights (the smaller headlights) and just run a filter in each hole.. Like a 2 into 1 system. Put the filters right into the holes and just fab a little something to trim it up nicely so there’s no gaps.. Run one on each side and use a y to merge them just before the throttle body.
You could probably do that in a day.. You’d have to cut the headlight housing but it’s definitely do-able.

Just ordered some stuff off of summit. It’s going to have two fresh air ducts running to it. The heat shield is going to basically be an air box covering the whole filter. It’s going to have plenty of fresh air.
Did you remove that stupid plastic grid piece that sits over the MAF, just above the screen? That thing is a huge restriction in my opinion and serves zero purpose.

From previous experience, the screens while posing a major restriction, serve to even out the airflow before the heated elements. It supposedly gives the sensor a more consistent measurable airflow. That being said all my modded Fords (GT500’s 2007-2013) never had a screen on the MAF. Thus just wondering. I like what you are doing here and hope it gives the community some new avenues to peruse performance wise. Cheers sir and keep pushing.
Installed a intake scoop, and air duct behind the grill, also installed a duct onto the factory scoop.
this afternoon on the drive home ambient temps were around 90.
ilde at stop light would get to 140 to 150° IAT
driving 20 to 50mph temps at 110 to 125° IAT
driving down the highway at 70mpg temps at 98 to 103° IAT
Just got home.
Temps outside around 80°
driving down the highway at 70mpg it was at 90° IAT
idle at a stop light it got up to 125 to 130 IAT
I would say being 10 to 15° above ambient is pretty good. Going to run my stock box tomorrow night in the same conditions.
New pic why my heat shield made from the exhaust heat shielding from a w211 I cut into shape, also riveted a heat shield products, flexible heat shield to it. Exhaust side of the shield will get to 160 to 190°, while the air filter side is 130ish
Did you keep the REST pump in place? I've always wondered if that can be deleted, it seems so vulnerable to have a coolant hose that close to the exhaust. It's completely un-necessary for my climate.

Well it actually did lean the e55 out. But it already had headers, and it wasn’t lean enough to cause any trouble.
I think like from 12.5afr to 13.5
i dont 4in will make any difference. The 3.5 just fits everything perfect. Also buy an intake elbow from Speed43 on there.
i wonder if i’m already lean? i have secondary cats delete with xpipe in place , and a 78 mm throttle body? and clutch fan is deleted (E-FAN). i would like to cut the hole under the air box bigger possibly and run a 3.5” pipe through it ? what do u think ? is that hole able to be made bigger?? my old bmw had a hole there and that CAI pic i posted was the exact intake used in that car

doubt you are lean, m156 engines only make 10whp from secondary car removal. So I am sure maybe 113s would see 5whp.
cut a home in your airbox? Do you have an e430? Or 320? All stock 112/113 engines have a 74mm throttle body. Just go to my intake build page and buy those parts. It’s cheap. Less than $300
