Design
The S55 intake system is the result of extensive analysis and testing.
The design is fully sealed with no gaps to ensure the lowest air intake temperatures.
The primary focus has been to keep the air flow as smooth as possible as well as
In order to improve on the OEM system we have used the maximum space available to create the largest intake on the market.
A detailed and accurate design with air filter housings connect directly to the OEM air feeds.
Both banks having large cross sectional turbo inlet tubes with integrated MAFs with smooth expanding inlet tubes
The expanding large volume inlet tube acts like a large velocity stack which accelerates the airflow and is much larger than the small and short velocity stack fitted to the internals of the oem intake.
The result of the smoother airflow from our inlet tube is a far smoother lower rpm torque availability from the engine vastly improving drivability. Throttle response is immediately felt to be smoother and more eager.The inlet tubes are attached via a stainless steel v-band clamps to the air filter housings which attaches directly to the oem front air feeds.
High Flow Air Filters
The system matches the factory intake system for inlet temperatures. In addition the system changes the air flow characteristics for a smoother delivery and allows more air to enter the turbos more easily. This fully developed and intelligently designed intake system is not just something that looks good in the engine bay but does an impeccible job as an air smoothing device, increasing air available, increasing air speed into the turbo's, allowing the turbo's to spool faster, filters for longer more efficiently, keeps intake air temperatures low and making a sophisticated race car like intake noise under load. Most important of all, it is the way the engine becomes more alive, responsive and enjoyable to use not just under full load but also normal every day driving.
PERFORMANCE TESTING
Dyno tests were performed under strict controlled conditions on a Dyno Dynamics machine in order to show a true and realistic result. Directly inline with the on-road driving experience and a very realistic result.
Average +10-15 WHP / + 10 lb.ft
Average Peak Gains - 15WHP @ 6700rpm12-15WHP 5800-7500rpm. The results are as expected for a large volume system with large velocity stack shaped inlet tubes. The OEM system flows enough up to 4000rpm up to which there are small gains in power. After 4000rpm, power gradually increases to the rpm limiter with 12-16 flywheel HP from 5800-7500rpm.The Maximum Delta gains from the average stock run vs the highest run with the carbon intakes is also displayed on the third graph. While this is a real result we do not quote this HP gain as part or our marketing. This gain is possible however. The gains are realistic as the power increases from 3000rpm onwards with no gain below this. The graphs are not a phase shift which is typical of dyno tests where the correction factor has been changed to show larger than actual gains for marketing purposes.
Testimonials
The Infinity Design intake for the BMW F80 M3 is hands-down the best in the market without any questions. The overall look, quality of the carbon fiber work, and attention to small details make it a standout upgrade that transforms the engine bay into a work of art. What really impresses is how the air flows straight into the filter housing, the larger filter housing design is amazing, a true sealed solution, filling the space very well with smooth bends that optimize airflow for smoother low-rpm torque and a snappier throttle response
