The 2.0 liter turbo four in your X1 or X2 28i has more in it than the factory intake lets on. Right in front of the turbo sits a plastic resonator, there to quiet intake noise for the showroom. It does that job by breaking up the air path the turbo has to pull through.
The Dinan Intake Resonator Delete Pipe swaps that section on the BMW F48 X1 and F39 X2 28i for a smooth-bore aluminum pipe. It steps the diameter up from 70mm stock to 76mm, removes the resonator's multi-directional flow path, and cuts the pressure drop ahead of the turbo.
Why Delete the Intake Resonator on an X1 or X2
Every bit of restriction ahead of the turbo makes it work harder for the same boost. The Dinan pipe is TIG-welded billet aluminum with black powder coat, sized to mate straight to the factory connections. It works on a completely stock car or alongside other intake and tuning upgrades. The only visible change is the engraved Dinan logo.
Wondering if it is worth it at this price? It is one of the simplest intake-side changes you can make on the B46 and B48 cars, with no cutting, no drilling and no tune listed as required.
