C230 coupe, nothing special :)
Thumbs down aa

Its one of those electric vacume cleaner motors, that they sell on ebay as supercharger mods that add so - called at least 10-15 hrs, In reality what happens is you make your car just that one step closer to being compared to a dirt devil. I honestly hope you diddent cut any of your piping to install this, when you could have got a better mod out of going with a "green airfilter". Dont forget that you will get that un-nessicary winding noize from your car speakers because of this so called mod!

This better be a asp pulley!! or Im comming to rip that bissel out of your car!!!!

Oh how wrong you are...... First off, I already have an ASP pulley and a custom air intake. And in any case, I've never heard of mods adding more "hrs" to the car......

I will reveal the answer later tonight, I just want to see how many ppl will actually be able to guess.

I can feel more power, there seems to be more pull when I gas it, and definitely more noise, sorry, no pics.... I mean, it's hard to take a picture of the SC, and in any case it looks the same on the outside.....

Thanks for the Help BTW E.
