Nice Custom Mod :)

Just finished up installing a bunch of stuff for my intake. I Changed the stock c230k cloth tubing for the air intake, to a plastic tubing, so it is nice and clean. On top of that Got the K&N drop in filter also, the Supercharger Whine is amazing now... So much more clear. But i had an idea while installing it, why not make two ducts of air intake like the c32's any idea how i could get this to work on my 05' c230k sedan. Please let me know. Appreciate it. thank

mm...the original cloth intake tube actually cools the air better. i hope you heat wrap the plastic tubing.

you can't make two intake tube because the throttle body is on the driverside and not centered like the V6/8/12. two intake tube doesn't help either. if you custom a intake like mig888's you have more than enough air rammed in there.

What a shocker! Someone came up with an idea that other members have never thought of since 2003!

Please search the forum

Not angry If we were angry, our posts WOULD BE IN ALL CAPS.

Look, the chassis has been around from 2001-2007. There have been several threads discussing intakes for the m271. If you searched for m271 intake, I'm sure you'd find a ton of threads you could've posted in and realized that what you're doing is not anything that anybody else hasn't already done.

A few of us moderators have worked diligently to keep things neatly organized so that it would be easy for new members such as yourself to find the information you're looking for. Having several different threads discussing intakes for the same car makes the search inefficient. We just ask that you help keep things as organized as they were starting to get.

If you want to find what people have done for intakes on the m271, please look for threads started by mig888. From there, you will find many other people who have made their own attempts at custom intakes as well.
