Ramair Air Intake Kit BMW N13-B16A 1.6T (Foam Filter)

Ramair Air Intake Kit – BMW N13-B16A 1.6T (Foam Filter) – JSK-273-BK

This performance air intake kit from Ramair is designed as a direct replacement for the standard airbox on BMW 1 Series and 3 Series models fitted with the N13-B16A 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine. It gives the engine a more direct path to draw in cool, fresh air – which is the foundation of improved combustion and better overall performance.

The result is a noticeable improvement in throttle response (how quickly the engine reacts when you press the accelerator), along with an enhanced induction sound as the turbo spools up. It is a well-rounded upgrade for everyday driving that wants a little more engagement from the engine without sacrificing drivability.

What Is Included

• Ramair foam air filter
• Black powder-coated heat shield
• Black powder-coated hard pipe (80mm intake diameter)
• Black silicone coupler
• CNC-machined MAF housing (MAF stands for Mass Air Flow sensor – a component that measures the amount of air entering the engine)
• Full fitting kit with step-by-step instructions

Why Upgrade Your Air Intake?

The standard airbox fitted from the factory is designed with a number of compromises in mind – cost, noise reduction, and emissions compliance among them. This often means restricted airflow compared to what the engine is actually capable of handling. Replacing it with a free-flowing intake and a high-quality foam filter allows the engine to breathe more efficiently, which supports better throttle response and can release performance that the standard setup holds back.

The included heat shield helps keep the filter away from hot air in the engine bay, ensuring the intake draws in cooler, denser air – which is better for performance than warm air.

Build Quality

Ramair is a UK-based manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing intake and filtration products built to last. The components in this kit – powder-coated pipework, precision CNC-machined housing, and a durable foam filter element – are designed to withstand the conditions of everyday engine bay use.

The foam filter is also washable and reusable, making it a more cost-effective long-term choice compared to disposable paper filters.
