Rev motoring silicone boot n52
Hi all, I've been looking to purchase the Rev motoring boot for my n52 z4 but while cleaning my airbox I noticed the 328 n52 intake is different than ours:
Ours has a tube going to the "sound conducting medium" bottom diagram vs top http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=13_1173 Has anyone installed the boot? Is it okay to just leave that part opened? Thanks |

The Rev motoring part appears to be intended to increase intake sound by removing the sound reduction stuff. N52 Z4s (3.0si at least) have a sound tube connecting to the firewall that transmits intake noise to the interior. If you want more intake sound, take that tube out and remove the foam pieces inside it. Presto.

I have a custom silicone coupler from the airbox to the throttle body. I have that sound generator tube just ziptied to one of the lines near it. I havent lost it or ran into any issues. Or you can even delete the tube/gasket and get the firewall plug #13747514866.

I have a AFE intake tube modified to fit onto a cheap $ silicon tube mated up to my stock airbox. Yes the in car sound changed alot, because i deleted my intake boot/sound generator tubes. Less in car noise, but more outside engine induction noise with this setup
