Has anyone made that Y or T pipe to connect the drive side vent into the air box. Also is anyone selling or getiing rid of the fabric air intake hose. I would really like to open the drive side vent for more air intake. I read all the post about using ABS and grinding the grids, which is a great idea but i ike the idea of keeping my benz quit.

I don't have the ***** to be the tester on the intake hosing. Can't afford a new engine/car if I kill this car right now.

rlee02135, aren't u a little worried about water and all that other crap getting into ur airbox?? as it is with the cloth type pipe, it already gets pretty dirty when u open up the lid to clean it out. Just wondering if u maybe drilled a hole or to under the pipe? i say, drill about 2 holes and put a small grill over them to keep other things from getting in.

I also change the air filter in mu SLK 200 Kompressor.
Does someone remplace the cloth air pipe by an BMC carbon air filter and use an empty MB stock air box ?
