Why do you need to upgrade the N54 charge pipe for your 535i? The OEM BMW charge pipe is a ticking time bomb for any N54 535i running higher than stock boost. Its plastic design will adequately hold the boost on stock settings, but on tuned cars it is prone to bursting. In addition, the OEM diverter valves are another component not designed for high-boost and can leak boost, limiting the power your 535i can put down. Don't wait until yours breaks to upgrade this critical component of your N54!
The ARM Motorsports E60 N54 charge pipe is designed to handle the highest levels of boost. Constructed of 6061 aluminum, the ARM N54 E60 535i charge pipe connects to the throttle body using a precision CNC machined connection which is secured by the OEM metal C-Clip. It also includes an upgraded O-Ring for a secure and leak-free seal.
The ARM E60 N54 Charge Pipe is engineered to optimize airflow between the intercooler and the throttle body. To further increase the performance of your 535i, there are two hookups for either methanol or nitrous which come pre-capped. For reconnecting your factory TMAP sensor, there is a CNC machined flange for perfect fitment with new bolts to replace the course threaded factory screws.
The ARM N54 Charge Pipe has an integrated blow-off valve flange designed for the 50mm TiAL Q BOV (BOV sold separately). Most importantly, it will ensure that all of your boost makes it into the engine to maximize power output from your 535i.
The design of this charge pipe will fit the stock intercooler or any aftermarket intercooler that bolts up to the stock charge pipe.
