Custom air intake?







Hey guys, I just wanted to know if it was possible to have a custom air intake like what I saw on this bmw m3. I have attached a picture of the m3 I’m talking about and a couple of pics on my 2008 C300 if you Guys would like to check them out. Thanks

Intake is pretty much as good as it gets unless you buy the ARMA one or oem but in carbon fiber :/

theres no room to route the intakes in the grill on a w204 without serious modifications. The stock box is plenty for the m272s, drop in k&n filters are the only thing worth doing, just clean them with some brake cleaner before installing to get the oil off so they dont ruin the MAF sensor. I had the dual cone filters in front of the box and made no noticeable difference, maybe a little more intake noise then the k&n filters but I removed them the same week because they were getting heat soaked and the OEM setup is superior, heres my setup, I remove the cheap cloth piping and replaced it with 3in aluminium piping,wrapped in heat repellent wrap. I also wrapped the radiator hose and made a heat shield of the oil cooler, all this reduced IAT by 5-10degrees during hot summer days.

Forgot to mention I also made the "air scoops" in the grill larger so it can funnel in more air.
