S65 Carbon Airbox
Ok, so I'm obsessed with Intakes especially the sound these ITBs make. The E46 M3 CSL Airbox is probably one of the nicest sounding intakes I've heard.
I'm not concerned with HP gains as long as there's no losses. Not that I can feel the 5hp gain or see a remarkable decrease in measureable 1/4mile times. This is purely a sound exercise. Managed to find a few vendors that sells enlarged CF Airbox. Some of these Airbox are simply a larger CF version of the of the stock airbox with an apparently increase in intake sound. The Motorsport24 Race Box is probably a no go as too many ancillaries has to be relocated. Anyone pulled the trigger on any of these airbox so far ?

Very wicked looking Airbox !
But I seriously hope the filters have some form of Air Filter box for fresh air to channel in as it looks to be very close to the exhaust manifold. I suppose they could utilise OEM Air Intake tract on the Drivers side (LHD). I'm not so sure where the air will be channel to for the passenger side. |

Got this email from them its going to run you a pretty penny tho. "This project was in "sleep mode" for a while, we had to much going on so we didn't do what we wanted to do so far. We made some small design updates to the product, what required complete new molding, and we planned the development of a complementary (optional) carbon hood, so the intake can breathe trough 2 openings in the hood for optimal fresh ram air, as well trough the grill.
Pricing is 4280,- Euro at the moment for the intake including complementary remap, and we expect to have first product out of production at the beginning of December. To install the remap yourself, you will need our iMoss flash tool as well (+159,- Euro). For the optional hood I cannot give you any details at the moment, since the development is in it's first stage. If you are interested, we can put you on our reservation list for this product already, since we expect a waiting list after the update is released. Thanks for your request, and we hope to hear from you!- it's made by Mosselman Kind regards, Leon NEW!! iC-Module intelligentControlModule" Last edited by p-streets; 09-09-2013 at 06:56 AM..

Hi
dex has asked me to write something about the air filter. Unfortunately, I can not say much since we're still testing the ... Because of the hot air ... We have to complete. Digitized engine compartment and with CFD Calculated .. The calculation of the airbox / intake trumpet, etc. was done with GT-suite. We had no major problems to warm air. If it is found during the test, the air is too warm is optimized. Next week we go to the dynamometer. We first test the 3 different velocity stacks. More information will follow by me or Dex37 ... Here is a picture in the car ... |

I'm guessing here that the top and bottom intake plenum is connected via 2 bolts. I haven't been able to find any OEM looking airbox that is purely CF yet. The only 100% CF (except for trumpet ducts) I've seen so far are E46 M3 CSL airbox but engine layout is obviously different. |

I'm hoping that this can be a straight bolt on but without an actual airbox that can be seen, I'm not sure if it is worth waiting that long assuming they do come out of hibernation mode. |

But I'm also seeing that the Coolant and Power Steering Reservoir seems to be relocated. I'm quite concerned that this is no longer a straight bolt on job. |

But we have also created a "clubsport" version for trackday cars. It's not just an airbox, it's more a complete 6-piece CFK air intake system with optimized air flow, beginning with an air duct in the front bumper. As you all know the S65 has thermic problems on the race track. Therefore it was very important to create a system which works with fresh, cold air as useful as possible.

the picture does not show the complete kit. Our airbox gets fresh air from below and above. We also have shields for the filters that we tested but as long as we do not think that that are needed they are not in the kit ..... Currently we are testing the air box and the different velocity stacks on the street and on the Nürburgring. And we have no thermal problems !!! More info & pictures come when the tests are completed ... |
