Product Details
The S55 produces a unique twin-turbocharged soundtrack. Unfortunately, the factory air intake system stifles its full potential. Due to oversized airboxes, flow-limiting paper air filters, and restrictive charcoal pre-filters, airflow is compromised, limiting both performance and induction noise. The result? An underwhelming driving experience that falls short of the S55’s true capabilities.
The ECS F8X S55 Luft-Technik Performance Intake System is designed to maximize efficiency, airflow, and induction sound, delivering a fully enhanced driving experience while transforming your engine bay. By eliminating the restrictive factory components, this intake unlocks an unparalleled auditory experience. Let your engine breathe!
Our Luft-Technik design begins with dual aluminum inlet tubes, finished in a durable wrinkle black powder coat for exceptional resilience and a bold, yet subtle aesthetic. Engineered using CAD modeling, these inlets ensure precise MAF scaling to match factory specifications, maintaining factory AFRs for reliability and efficiency. The ovular shape provides ample clearance around the fan shroud, cooling hoses, and hood while optimizing available space for a large, free-flowing air intake path to maximize performance. The crossover tube is thoughtfully designed with standoffs for secure heat exchanger return hose mounting, along with a precision-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum MAF flange and vacuum port for seamless integration.
To protect the inlet tubes from latent engine bay heat, our Luft-Technik Performance Intake System uses aluminum heat shields with rubber edge trim. These shields create a tight seal against the hood, effectively blocking warm air from entering the intake tract and keeping cool air inside each box. By minimizing heat intrusion, our design helps to lower intake air temperatures (IATs), increases air density, and prevents heat soaking. In short, our design ensures consistent, high-performance airflow even under demanding driving conditions. The result is improved throttle response, enhanced turbo efficiency, and a more exhilarating driving experience.
