I tell you what I replied when a quite identic style was offered to me one and a half years ago:

1 - our compressor engine is higly sensitive to IAT level and we don't need to suck hot air from inside the engine bay
2- what's the reason for giving up to the forced airflow allowed by our stock airbox design ?

A Robinson

Velocity and volume. I plan on doing a heat exchanger as well. Typically RAM air systems have no effect on forced induction applications. aftermarket carbon fiber air tubes are almost $700. If this system offer's similar gains for $200 its worth a look.

dyno

if volume (capacity) is bigger , Velocity is less for sure ..

what would be interesting (to me ! ) is to have our stock front openings made wider

A Robinson

My thoughts are with a pulley "added velocity" one would want larger diameter inlets that are the least restrictive as possible.

dyno

yes, this is what I will maybe do one day ... at the front inlets
and I will try to make a bigger air filter box instead ... just to avoid any fatigue to our twin screws

there are couple of different things people have try and it works. replace our plastic air tube with the ones on SL55 AMG. their opening seems to be bigger and is a perfect fit.
and also. for some reason, alot of the products i see out there advertise fitment for CLS55, but they never use our engine or body picture?
so I always wonder if this product fits a CLS55.. haha.. as you can see with link above, is not a CLS55 engine. so i would not recommended that.
