Upgrade your BMW S55 with the aFe POWER Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System featuring Pro DRY S oil-free filters. Engineered to deliver substantial performance gains, improved throttle response, and an aggressive induction note, this intake is one of the most popular upgrades for the BMW M2 Competition, M3 and M4 platform.
Featuring dual 6-inch Pro DRY S high-flow air filters, large dyno-tuned intake tubes, and lightweight XLPE open-element housings, the Stage-2 system increases airflow while reducing intake restriction for faster turbo response and improved engine performance.
Dyno tested to produce gains of up to 19 horsepower, 17 lb-ft of torque, and 32% greater airflow, this intake requires no ECU tuning and is fully compatible with both stock and tuned vehicles.
