When we set out to develop the ARM F80 intake system we wanted to create an intake system for the S55 engine that would support the most advanced builds by removing any potential bottleneck in the induction system. Consequently, we developed the best intake available for the S55 engine.
The focus of the ARM S55 Intake is performance, period. We're not here to offer fancy pipes that look better than the stock intake but perform the same, or worse. Our purpose in developing an intake system for the F80 platform was to create something that would outperform everything else on the market, especially in the most demanding builds. It looks good, it sounds amazing, and most importantly it makes your S55 breathe better.
With a 3.5" inside diameter intake runners, the ARM S55 Intake System is the largest diameter intake system available for the S55 engine. Whether you're running the stock turbos or upgraded turbos, if you're looking for serious performance, the ARM S55 Intake system is your answer.
Our project F80 M3 is equipped with Pure Turbos Stage 2+ turbochargers to test the limits our S55 upgrades. With our project F80 equipped with all of our upgrades, ARM S55 Resonated Downpipes, Charge Pipes, and of course our S55 Intake System, it is making over 720whp, with a 5.9 second 60-130mph our build has proven to not only remove the limits of the stock intake system, but also support the bleeding edge of power for the stock block S55 setup.
The ARM S55 Intake is constructed of 6 layer reinforced silicone tubing. Utilizing this material allows us to maximize the space allowed by BMW, especially where there is the least clearance, between the strut brace and the radiator.
Each side of the ARM Intake is uniquely constructed. The passenger side maximizes the size of the large 3.5" air filters while making a smooth, uninterrupted transition down to the stock S55 turbo inlet.
While the driver-side intake runner maintains the 3.5" inside diameter all the way until it reaches the stock turbo inlet and overlaps it, making the stock inlet pipe the lowest common denominator in the intake system. The ARM S55 Intake driver side runner is larger than even the upgraded Pure Turbos turbo inlet.
Both sides utilize heat shields which capture the fresh air from the stock BMW intake ducts, while simultaneously blocking out the majority of the heat in the engine bay. The cutouts in the heat shields allow for a tight seal with the intake pipe. While the edges of the heat shield form a seal with the engine bay including the hood, forcing the intakes to inject the cooler air being delivered by the BMW air ducts.
PLEASE NOTE: You may experience mild fluctuating rpm on startup, this is common and will subside after approximately 15-30 seconds.
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need proof of purchase.
To start a return, you can contact us at palenonracing@gmail.com. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

Handling
If the item is shipping from us direct, you will receive a tracking number within 1 business day. Most orders fulfilled at our warehouse will ship the same business day if ordered by 12pm MST. If the item is being drop shipped from the manufacturer, we cannot guarantee a tracking number within 1 business day. If an item is being drop shipped, we cannot guarantee the 24 hour (1 business day) processing time. A purchase of expedited shipping at checkout means that once item is ready to ship, it will ship using the upgraded shipping method. Some manufacturers require 3-5 days to process orders. Purchasing expedited shipping may speed up the processing time of your order, but we cannot make any guarantees in relation to faster processing time on the manufacturer’s end.

Some manufacturers can take up to 7 business days to ship out orders. If an item is out of stock we will reach out to you within 48 hours to confirm you would like to proceed with a preorder. If the item is listed as custom-built/ built to order within the description, or if the ETA or average lead time is visible on the product page at the time of ordering and you are cancelling inside of that ETA/lead time you will be charged the merchant fee. If the cancellation is outside of the time frame the merchant fee will not be charged to you for canceling.
