Intake Systems

[NewBIMMERfan85]

Anyone know a company that makes cold air intake systems for my bimmer 88 735i

All of the BMWs that I have seen before have rather efficient and true cold air intakes. The aftermarket cone filters don't add anything but noise and warm / hot air.

A new OEM Mann or Mahle air filter flows more air than a K&N cone anyway. And it costs a lot less.

just do the leaf blower mod.

BMW makes a system and it is installed on your car. Look at the tubing and flow from the throttle body to the air filter, and then to the grill, the only thing you might want to do is add a free flow filter, but i am not sure that is worth the money, as you are only going to get 3HP to 5HP max.

yea seriously.

if your intake is anything like mine..then you are fine.

Well I got a break on one of the the intake tubes it dry rotted and I hate to see what that one piece cost but was looking for an alternative I might find a aluminum intake peice and mod it to it I think I still got some tuben left over some where.

[Numark318i]

ok. heh.

thought it was fine and u just wanted to swap it out for more power. yea just replace the piping i guess

Remember, that metal attracts heat, so any metal tubing will tend to warm the air flow, and hot air means loss of power. Look for plastic or fiberglass tubing if you are going to change the tubing out. My daily driver is a 1998 neon, DOHC, UDP,Camber Plates, Re-flashed PCM, short shifter and oh yes a home made CAI using PVC and a K&N filter with a pick up out of the engine compartment and down low just behind the grill.

Metal does not attract heat.
