Does look different though. I believe form follows function so it doesn't look better to me.

the filter is right where the stock opening is for the stock intake. So it is getting in cold air. But yes it is suckn n more air so it is a mix of hot and cold. Mostly cold do to the air flow from the stock intake opening.

I just don't see an intake that long actually giving you real grunt until the top end, but isn't that where these smaller engines already prevail?

it kinda looses that 0-15 power, but after that it picks up and has this crazy intake sound...im assuming this is the same on the C230ks, kuz I have a K&N cone on my ML500

Long Intakes= Improve torque on the bottom end.
THe above is irrellevant with forced induction. End of story.

There's no way this thing is an improvement over the stock system with a K&N. Yeah, it makes more noise, and there's nothing wrong with that either. But I seriously doubt any HP increase...
