Honestly just leave it alone , the intake is so good as it is . I tried the makeshift come filter thing and I was way down on power . Do a chip instead or headers . You can swap to a slk 350 intake but I havnt seen any numbers on the increase .

Leave it alone. The MB one is excellent, that's why you don't see a lot of options.

Thanks Hitokiri. I'll be seeing you at the OE Tuning in May anyway.

Don't mess with the intake system unless you break an actuator rod.

You know where it's going to be? Is it at TTMotorsports? And do you know if we can take advantage of the dyno there?

The stock intake system is beautifully designed. All I ever see people around here doing is downgrading it, sucking in hot air, and increasing risk of hydrolock. I am especially amused when someone "upgrades" the intake, then dyno tests it with the hood open and posts their newfound "proof" that it added HP.
