Introducing the updated V2 F90 M5/M8 intake system. After the successful launch of our original F90 M5/M8 intake, we have continued to test them on the road and at various track events. Having gathered more data, we decided to seal the openings of the filter housings with carbon shrouds. These shrouds close off the visible filter openings in the engine bay while still allowing for the cold air saturation from the front scoops.

The result is a more stable IAT while the car is at low speeds and slower heat soak while stationary. This allows for a better initial launch from a standstill as the immediate area in front of the filters is shielded from the heat of the engine

The F90 M5/M8 Yahua intake system was developed through extensive real world testing and airflow simulation analysis. It demonstrates the perfect balance between allowing for unrestricted airflow with our semi-open filter housings whilst maintaining low IATs through cold air saturation with our scoop and shield combination. Our large front air scoops transfer ambient air directly into the intake area thus ensuring the engine doesn?¡¥t suffer from heat soak. In addition, our gold heat-reflective lined shields have integrated flow guides which direct the ambient air from the scoops into the filters. We have also managed to increase the inlet tube cross-sectional area by over 30% compared to the stock intake as it feeds through the openings in the strut braces. This allows the turbos to work more with less restriction and reduce the waste-gate duty cycles.

The Yahua Difference

The F90 M5/M8 Yahua system uses our Patented Carbon Fibre Housings with our Gen 2 bespoke filters, which provide an aerodynamically efficient airflow path from the filter to the turbos. Not just another cone filter with a heat shield but a unique design which invokes the Venturi affect and maintains laminar flow conditions to reduce the drag on the turbo.
