The Eventuri Hybrid Carbon Airbox System for the BMW E46 M3 delivers the unmistakable CSL induction character while retaining full MAF functionality and OEM-level drivability. Developed through extensive CFD analysis and real-world testing, this system provides a seamless plug-and-play solution without the need for an Alpha-N conversion or ECU recalibration.
At the core of the system is a prepreg carbon fiber plenum engineered to resonate under load, producing the signature CSL-style intake sound while maintaining a perfectly stable airflow path for the MAF sensor. The internal geometry has been optimized to ensure even airflow distribution to all six cylinders, eliminating the starvation and turbulence issues common with traditional airbox conversions.
The integrated snorkel incorporates a CNC-machined MAF boss for precise sensor placement, while the patented Eventuri carbon Venturi filter housing accelerates airflow toward the plenum and maintains laminar flow conditions. A dedicated carbon cold-air scoop channels ambient air from the brake duct directly to the intake mouth, reducing intake air temperatures without compromising brake cooling performance.
Manufactured from 100% prepreg carbon fiber and assembled with CNC-machined hardware and stainless reinforcement rings, the system delivers long-term durability, OEM fitment, and a transformative driving experience.
