PART DESIGN

• Designed and engineered in-house using state of the art 3D laser scanning and CAD technology for precision fitment

• WRINKLE BLACK INTAKE TUBE - Mandrel bent 6061 aluminum 88.9mm (3.5") Wrinkle Black Powdercoated Aluminum Induction Tube provides smooth, direct airflow into the turbo inlet hose

• CARBON FIBER INTAKE TUBE - The carbon fiber pipe, featuring a Bellmouth filter opening, is constructed from 2x2 twill carbon weave then gloss clear coated for UV and heat protection for continuous operating temperatures of up to 300° F. Designed to fit perfectly in place of the factory accordion pipe, our CAD design assures a smooth gradual transition from the intake to the turbo inlet.

• BIG BORE TURBO INLET PIPE:

  • 89mm opening - 23mm larger than the stock 66mm inlet!

  • Inlet Elbow is made from cast aluminum for maximum airflow capacity, durability and is designed to work in perfect harmony with the ECS Tuning intake system 

  • Compressor Inlet Flange is machined after casting to create a bellmouth inlet design for smooth air entry into the compressor housing. The CNC inlet flange also features OEM mounting holes, it also utilizes a sealing O-ring for perfect fit and seal for precision fitment within the compressor housing. 

  • Cast mounting tabs retain compatibility with the OEM locating fastener and its mounting location.

• AIR FILTER - 5" conical, cotton gauze, clean-able filter element. Features smooth bell mouth inlet and a conical shape that maximizes filtration surface area. An 8-ply cotton gauze construction provides the best balance between airflow and filtration efficiency.  

• SECONDARY AIR INJECTION  - Our system is fully compatible with the OEM SAI emissions system. The included cotton gauze SAI breather filter provides a fresh air source to the SAI pump using our custom CNC-machined 6061 aluminum SAI adapter to the OEM SAI hose.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Flow bench tested on our in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench we observed a 20% gain over the stock intake system

• ECS Luft-Technik Intake - 316 CFM @ 14" H²O
• Stock Intake - 260 CFM @ 14" H²O

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

• Our ECS Luft-Technik Intake was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

• Performance data metrics are collected utilizing our in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench.
