Angry Ass | S38B36 + B38 Variable Resonance Intake Actuator
The variable resonance actuator on the S38B36 and B38 is a key component of the elegant variable resonance plenum that gives the S38B36 and B38 added power and torque. With this crucial part having gone NLA years ago, we developed a replacement unit featuring all new components manufactured in Germany and the USA.
