nice diy... but what about the recirculate pipe from the bypass valve?

 

do u think u picked up any power

 

Any sound change from this? Please post clip.

 

hmm interesting, will this work for the c240? im guessing yes because its a v6 too, but then again what the heck do i know?

 

interesting... let us know how it goes!

you just showed that you don't know that much.

the M271 is a s/c'd I4, not a v6.

 

Any updates?

 

Whats the point anyway? Any performance gain?

 

I would just like to know if there's any performance gain in this project...

 

Anybody have an answer to this?

 

The big black box infront of the motor.... Does anyone sell a MB quick connect to bypass/remove it. Or is everyone just getting some tubing and some hose clamps?


Thanks

 

is that what it is?

Don't C32's and 55's have a supercharger silencer?.....If we do is there any way to remove it??

 

I'm pretty sure that's the intake he's taking about. I'm pretty sure the SC muffler is attached to the plenum on the SC like it is on the M111.

 

The black box in front of the motor is a silencer for the supercharger. I took it off and it is perforated inside like a muffler. I also started it up and you can actually hear the whine of the charger. Now a large radiator hose will work with two hose clamps. The only other issue is the Crank breather. It will have to have a k&n small breather put on it. That will also help with the oil getting into the intake.

 

If that is the case there are two and they did all they could keep things quiet.

 

pics? i removed the baffles in my black intake pieces if thats what you are talking about.

 

Hey I could be wrong....but Big black box in front of the motor is not exactly descriptive.

 

+1.....thats why i asked if he had pics...i dont know what his intake setup looks like so..

 

I will get you guys some photos. But if you look in front of the motor between the motor and the radiator, it goes from the supercharger/intake to the intercooler. It is at an angle ... You can not miss it. It is about a foot and a half by 6 inches. I am shocked no one has talked about this before.... I hope this helps... But I will get photos during the day.

 

It is a muffler and there is a muffled intake also. I doubt that there would be very much if any gain by removing. It is straight through and well sized for the amount of flow. But hey give it a try. It would be pretty easy to do while on the dyno to see if there are any gains.

 

I believe your talking about the real supercharger muffler. One person on here removed his with a stainless pipe, but he had problem connecting his egr valve back to this pipe.
His car sounds like a 5L supercharged mustang, I think it sounded .... "different".... and it might be an acquired taste. Horsepower wise, you might see some gain by altering the boost map or on a dyno.
If you want more noise, remove the muffler and see for yourself. You might like it that way.

 

Ok, I ordered a 2.5 circumference by 24in hose and will be bypassing this box. I also remove the other muffler that was located in the supercharger intake. Should be louder, and no more turbulence created by all these baffles.

 

I tried to read/look at my car to follow along.....but I guess I'm too dumb and can't

need pics lol

 

First two are of the Box Muffler. Inside and out.

Second is the baffle inside the intake/supercharger.

 

let us know how it goes when it's done. i'm interested to see what happens.

post a vid too so we can hear the sound difference. if you can hear the SC whine more than i'd want to do this too.

 

Exactly. I was wondering too, is this why you don't hear a supercharger whine from an MB with a supercharger? I always wondered that when I would hear one driving.
