Cold Air Intake

Hello All,

just need some direction on where to go for a cold air intake for my 2012 cls 550. I've been trying to hunt down one for weeks now and can't seem to find a vendor that has one for this model. if anyone has done this before, can you please shed some light on which product I can use and where to find it. I've been wanting a K&N cold air intake for the car, but everytime i search on their website nothing comes up for my vehicle.

thanks

Ethric

One of the most fascinating automotive forum subjects..

You already have one !

And as for so called performance filters they let through alot of dirt as their filter media is more open structure in an attempt to flow more air .

so what you suggest is just replace the air inlet duct/intake line. Both of mine have slices in them, which is why i wanted to replace them in first place. I'm new to all this performance stuff on a car, and making sure i don't make unnecessary purchases. I appreciate this, it'll be much cheaper to just replace a few pieces. I thought a new cold air intake would be better for the car, but if one is already there, why mess with it.

Cheers,

Ethric

I'm all for better / larger ducting , bigger air box and filter , just make the actual filter an OE type for superior filtration .

This is just a mear early 2000's 130 hp VW 1.9 TDI unraveled .
