AMG C32 Intake on C320
I was wondering if anyone has try this. Any thoughts? I would assume it will have better flow than the stock air box. Or even better the SL55 air box. In the C32 forum, its a gain for alittle less than 10 hp.

I would say... forget about it. I think the stock air box on c class is big enough for air flow that the engine needed! if u want more, then throw in a K&N filter. Since most cars are regulated and do not gain more than 1hp with the intake, neither does benz... it's more tighter regulated car... if they claim the amg intake can gain 10hp... then maybe benz is not trying their best to release the "efficiency" of their motor!

THere's usually horsepower to be had with a less complicated, less restrictive intake.
