Also, will I see similar gain with the tvt tubes and the stock c350 tubes??

I think you probably need to do dyno comparison between your tubes and the c350/kevlar tubes, should prove that yours is better than kevlar tubes, if not why would people buy from you if kevlar tubes produce similar results and cheaper as well.

I think we all want to see the actual number

the question is...does the TVT tubes heat up? after a long drive, the metal might heat up just like the plastic tubes...but the kevlar tubes DONT heat up at all, maybe warm to touch.

We showed a 4 RWHP difference with KN installed between the Kevlar tubes and ours. Plus the sound with the Aluminum tubes is awesome. It's like a swishy sound.

Still no heat. Aluminum doesn't get all that hot, it stays much cooler then the actual airbox.

$110.40 like it says in the first post. The other links are for the tubes and filters, then just the filters.

Would this happen to work for the 2006/2007 C230 V6's? I was told headers would fit from a C240, and the air boxes look similar as well. Please let me know!

Are you saying you got 4 more out of yours than you got out of the Kevlar or the other way around? Or that both were the same and 4 over stock?

Stock on the 320 is 215HP and 221 lb-ft. What are the two corresponding numbers with your tubes and the K&N combined?

Dyno with Wavey's car was done with the Kevlar tubes provided first then switched to our Aluminum tubes.

The third round of dyno time we saw 156 RWHP with the Kevlar, 160 RWHP Aluminum. And yes the results were repeated over and over again.

Will you feel a 4 RWHP difference on the street? No. But if you like the look, appreciate the sound, and want something more custom looking they are another option out there.
