That foam tape on the unfiltered section was not put on there by Karbonius. It's normally just bare carbon fiber. I added it because my airbox was rattling a bit.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

Here's how it's all ducted:

The metal tube might end up causing the pins to break, depending on what they used for the pin material. When that happens, bond in a metal screw or locator pin in place of the original pin.
It probably won't look pretty, but it's all underneath so this shouldn't matter.
You might want to practice first if you haven't done this type of repair before.
Disclaimer: I don't have one of these intakes, so how the pieces fit together might affect where you can put material, and thus how well this idea might work.Last edited by elbert; 08-05-2021, 02:07 PM.

The OE box was only ever meant to be used on real CSLs, so cars with the CSL front bumper, flap and associated ducting. At low rpms, the flap is closed, so that extra hole at the bottom is used to get air into the engine. At higher rpms, the flap opens to allow for more airflow through the main opening.

I personally don't run a flap and just left it like it came from Karbonius, although I should probably cap the port off cause hot air and all that.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't one still run the factory CSL "back hole" ducting on a US bumper?
It looks as if it just kind of hangs out in the belly pan anyways, I'm sure it affixes itself to something that the US version doesn't have but in a likelihood one could make that ducting work on the US bumper as well.
The hole on the CSL bumper is for the snorkel and with use of the factory US duct comming up off the brake duct you can more or less replicate the cold air flow into the main intake tract of the Karbonious airbox.
For a period of time I had a section of 3" racing brake duct that attached to the brake duct inlet and ran to the Karbonious back hole. I removed it as it made disassembly a bit more involved but I am planning on putting it back together as it does a great job of forcing more cold air into the airbox in general.
jbfrancis3 made a great post on how to do just that and I followed his instructions.
Sharing with the group how I created ducting to my Karbonius airbox with the OEM flap using the standard M3's bumper. The goal is to feed air: - to the snorkel, which is upsteam of (before) the flap on the OEM piece, or just the snorkel itself on the Karbonius snorkel. The snorkel is the beginning section off some airboxes that

The questions I am pondering now are:
- if fixed is this a good air box solution?
- Are there any other performance benefits to dumping this box and purchasing a Karboiuns box? (I think this should have been the first choice)
