Review on πŸ”΄ Red Silicone Intake Boot for BMW E90/E92 with N52 Engine (2006-2013) by Mike Pettigrew

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Yes it's short but it sounds great!

I replaced the stock intake pipe from the airbox to the intake manifold with this Mishimoto. Replacing the standard resonator significantly changes the sound of the BMW N52 engine. Now it sounds aggressive above 4k and looks less like a sewing machine. It's not that it's too short, it's that it doesn't bend easily and therefore ends up being a bit short. It's not too short for the job, but if it were 1cm longer it would be a lot easier to install. The only downside is the price. Come on, it's silicone tubing! It's ridiculously overpriced, but still cheaper than Turner's signature hose. Even if the price is high, the difference in sound is definitely worth it.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
