The F-connector is located on the air intake boot and provides a connection point for the vacuum lines that run to the brake booster and fuel pressure regulator. The factory connector is made of plastic and with heat and exposure to the elements the connector becomes brittle and potentially cracks. As a result, a vacuum leak occurs which can cause poor idling issues, evap fault codes, and poor performance. 

This aluminum version from ECS Tuning is impervious to these issues, and will easy outlast the rest of your plastic and rubber vacuum system components. 

This item fits the following BMWs: 
E39 525i 530i 

E46 325i 325xi 330i 330xi

Z3 2.5i 3.0i

Flexible silicone smooths the intake tract while allowing for a range of performance intakes fitments. The ultimate in durability!

In most vehicle applications, the rubber intake elbow found in the intake system is not designed for performance or modification. They were designed to get the job done but when you add a performance filter, intake or tune, the stock elbow will start to show it weakness. The stock rubber elbows disrupt air flow as it passes over the accordion sections causing unwanted turbulence and negating the effects of intake modifications.

With high quality 4 ply construction, the Turner intake boot is strong but flexible, ensuring a secure fit on an OEM or aftermarket intake system. A smooth interior ensures unimpeded airflow, while a smooth, unassuming exterior adds to any engine bay.

Benefits:

Improved throttle response,
Increase induction sound
Increased power output - and power output, Best when paired with an ECS drop-in air filter.(ES4461001 or ES4460965)

This is a drop-in stock replacement aFe performance air filter that installs into your BMW's factory airbox. This particular filter fits the following BMWs:

E36 3 series: 318i 318is 318ic 318ti 1992-1998

Starting with air filters and intake systems, and now expanding into exhaust systems, suspension components, tuning modules, and more, aFe products are a great way to improve the performance of your BMW without altering its fundamental character. Owned by a BMW enthusiast, aFe power is recognized the world over as a leader in quality performance products for your BMW.
