Air intake???

[Bimmer318]

Hey guys what's going on hope all is well. I have a question if anyone out there who has some knowledge can help me out. I have a 96 BMW 318ti I need to get a new intake. I was thinking of getting it from pep boys but I dunno what size fits. Also my friend that works for autozone tells me it burns more gas so I have to get the original part from BMW. What should I do I'm stuck here...

Thanks in advance

if you just stick a cone filter on the MAF you'll probably wind up losing power, cosmoracing.com has a decent intake that moves the filter out of the engine bay but a lot of people have modified their stock airboxes for better airflow, it's a little more work but it's much cheaper with similar gains to a good intake

The guys that tested this seem to think it beats any CAI..

Foggin your airbox is definitely cheaper and well same gains is not that much work.. you can do it yourself follow the instructions but u can also come up with ur own materials instead of usin exactly what he used mine i believe looks cleaner in the airbox

that would be a great idea. I don't think it would be all that hard to mold a piece to fit right there. Time consuming though.

[trikzta]

yeah .. but im not so sure about doing it yet... i might want to install fog lights

[justmanson]

i haven't looked at the room down there completely but could this be routed over to the kidney grill or the main bumper grill?

might be too much tubing though.

[pi4ovete_84]

I was wondering if this can be routed over to the tail lights lol , just kiddin'

[trikzta]

well if im not wrong the tubing that is currently in there is around 5' long and yeah i was thinking behind the bumper grill but ill do that after i get the M bumper
