M112 Intake
hey guys, I remember reading a old post abt a dual intake on the chrysler crossfire/srt-6.
I cant fint the old post. If the inlets are the same. would the same setup fit on the m112 motors? because I found this...(bottom) on ebay, and the fitmet says for V6 3.2L crossfire, SLK320, CLK320. Any help?

Im kinda confused as to what you found.... :\
Did you find a chrysler crossfire air box that fits on the m112 engine? is there something that makes it better than the original air box? Special little covers for the pipes?

not stock.
yes, this will fit on your v6 mercedes....I have a similar setup I did my self on my slk320 using K&N filters and obviously removing the filters from inside the box....... I suggest you take out the front vents/scoops that go behind the grill for free flowing air into the engine compartment....etc.
This setup will work nicely if you live in cold weather, or & drive the car on the high way alot.... also, get some head insulating material to cover the underside of the airbox in order to keep the heat from the engine to warm it up..it helps alot!

I think i'm going to use the green twister cold air, i already have insulation ready, I was gonna "custom" make a RAM intake maybe 2 years ago, never got the chance, lol but w/e do u have any pictures of ur setup!? I want to take a look at it if you don't mind

a bit off topic?
Question: Why is the m112 air intake's cover over the engine? I never got this... why not just run pipes around to the sides of the engine and let the engine cool naturally on top? are they trying to retain the heat in the engine? while keeping the air that passes through the box cold? anyone know?

the reason it is above the motor is to
1.)warm the air, to prevent extreme cold air from ruining gaskets while motoring in the mountains... Germany has really cold temperatures in the higher elevations... Too much air = too much explosion= faster wear on the gaskets and parts...
2.) The barrel theory: The longer a bullet travels down a barrel the more pressure it developes. The longer distance you have when you vortex air, the faster the particles will travel... They get slung around corner after corner, gaining speed, allowing for a vacuum to be developed thus the loud intake noise from our vehicles. The pressure from the frontal wind pressure helps push the particles into the intake.. So the faster you drive, the more effecient the long intake style is, because there is more pressure in the begining of the intake. That's why our cars start out slow, then gain speed as where american cars start fast and loose speed as wind pressure builds. For kicks, take a piece of measuring tape and measure the distance the air travels before it enters the mass air meter. I bet its longer than the common domestic!
3.) The reason it is in a box on top of the motor is due to spacial design. These are compact cars, so space is limited.
4.) It's that way because the engineer told the guy in the factory to put it together as so.

is SOLD
having your intake like that is mainly for looks. you are getting warmer air coming around the engine bay as opposed to the ram air. just get air filters for the car and you're good to go.

also, I removed the intake tubes, so did anthuny. it DOES give the car a better sound. and power wise. no difference, but its pretty cool.
as for my CAI. It was put very close up to the location where the plastic tubes used to sit. and the CAI gave the engine a more deeper throaty sound and during netural revv (c230 o5 has heard) it gives this amazingly nice "sucking" noise which was what I was trying to achieve. but currently...
I'm sitting on sheet K&Ns b/c im currently working on a airbox less system. also removing the fog lights and putting the intakes there. we'll see how that works....
