Agency power intake fitment 340i

6BangerOnly · 07-13-2019, 10:39 PM

I have a 340i xdrive and purchased a Agency Power intake. For my life i cannot fit the silicone hose they provided onto my inlet pipe on my car. They even sent me a second silicone hose and still no luck. I took it to a shop and ultimately still did not get it seated onto the inlet. Im just wondering if anyone has had any issues in regards to this install on a 340i?

to small? i think iv read about this before

jackstrath yeah its like maybe a millimeter or 2 too small in diameter. At times it fits entirely on the inlet but once you try to get it to slip on the hose begins to collapse and pretty much pops right back out.

I installed mine on my 340i last week and didn't have too much of a problem with the silicone hose. The clamps they provided were a little too small so I ended up reusing the oem clamps.

Cringe can you please post pictures of your inlet pipe or the finish product. How was the overall fitment?

Car is at the dealership right now, I'll take pictures of it when I get it back. But the overall fitment was fine, excluding the clamp that they provided.

@Cringe So i called Agency about my issue and they said they will send a new coupler because other 340i owners have had similar issues with tight hoses. So it is something they are aware of.

I just installed my AP SRI on my M240i this week and it was the biggest PITA ever. The coupler was definitely too small.

I ended up covering the inside with Vaseline, shoving a softball directly inside it, let it sit for about 15min and coated again with Vaseline. Got it installed shortly after that

It seems I must have gotten lucky then haha. Sorry for the delay, but here are the pictures. Dealership lagged and didn't finish my car until today.
