SPOTTED: renntech carbon fiber airbox.
Yes you are right, spotted RENNTECH CARBON FIBER AIRBOX. spotted under my hood that is! props to phattbam!!!
the cf airbox really makes a diff. especially sound. it sounds sweet. sounds like a gruppeM intake!
This was installed 10 days ago, but never got the chance to really post pics up.
Comparing this to the stock airbox with stock filters, yes big difference. sound and power.
anyways enjoy!!!

2002 C32 AMG
It will def sound better b/c of the extra air flow and shorter piping but performance wise it will NOT help. Maybe the first few seconds but once that engine bay gets hot, it will suck in nothing but EXTRA HOT air. As many times as I have tried to come up with a better intake system for my car.... the C32 has one of the BEST intake setups with the intake hoses coming through the front grille for direct cold air. only thing that sucks is that it also takes in a lot of freakin dust. Looks hot though.

I dont think renntech sells JUST the airbox, you'd need to buy their ECU upgrade as well I think.
These CF airboxes are RARE AS HELL, Im so lucky I got one.
