N63R Intake is designed to work flawlessly with the next version of the N63, the N63R/TU2. While the original N63 and N63TU share the same MAF sensors, the N63R/TU2 have updated MAF sensors that requires a redesigned MAF housing.
The Motorsports N63R Intake for the G30 M550i is the ideal upgrade if you're looking for improved throttle response and turbo sound. Installation is easy and straightforward, with no cutting or drilling required.
The N63R Intake is designed to keep the filters as far away from the heat of the turbos as possible. The filters are positioned at the front of the engine bay, where it can take advantage of the fresh air that is directed into the engine compartment from the OEM air ducts just below where they live. This position helps to keep the filters away from the heat generated by the turbos, which can cause the filters to become saturated and reduce its effectiveness. If you're looking to get your N63R the coolest possible air, consider the Front Facing Upgrade.
