Carbon Airbox

[Phoenix1]

Hey everyone,

Does anybody know where I can get my hands on a proper carbon airbox for the E46 M3 ?

Hi Phoenix
In case Revo does not see this..drop him a PM. We just got the complete carbon airbox in for the x35. Still have to test run it before posting up. We may expand across the range.

If its a csl style airbox for the e46 M I will also be interested

 

[kabal]

if you want csl style that actually works there are only 2 viable options

find a wrecked csl
order from VAC motorsports

 

[Rennzport]

Get us an oem box and we'll make it

 

[zainm3]

That's not the easiest thing to find

Somebody must have friend with a csl?

Thanx for the replies guys,

I would love to get an original csl intake box, so if anyone is not happy with theirs I'll gladly help them ease their mind by taking real-real good care of it for them.

Its not that simple. The CSL uses Alpha N and the standard M3 uses a MAF. You will need all new software loaded onto your ecu to cater for Alpha N. It's not worth the time or money. Just look for a Delage unit which is carbon fibre and looks like the CSL intake but still uses the MAF. Just don't expect huge power gains because there isn't any

From what I can gather the big gain from the CSL type airbox is induction noise:dropjaw:
Do the MAF airboxes sound the same?

 

[M3_FTW]

They sound similar but the CSL intake is still better when it comes to sound

They sound similar but the CSL intake is still better when it comes to sound

+1 and it gives you that sporty look in the engine bay:thumbsup:
