Hey guys, this is my first thread in our CLS forum. I've been reading other members' threads and asking questions for a while but never started anything myself. Well, here we go, I am pretty sure that some people have already seen this. Yes, the Gruppe M Ram intake designed for c63.

Exotic, isn't it? I think GruppeM has done a pretty good job for the C63 although maybe not as beautiful as what they have done for the M3 and RS4.
I guess it is the first time Gruppe M has a touch on the AMG 63 series. They claim a 15hp increase over the stock intake. It's darn expensive but to be honest, I am jealoused that our little brother C just got all the love. It has all the gadgets and parts to play with while we have very limited options.

Why can't those people at Gruppe M design something for our CLS or the E class for god's sake? That doesn't cost them much to do, as they already got the experience from designing the C class intake. Or is it just because the market segment of CLS63 or E63 are just not as attractive in their eyes? What you think guys?

dyno

good info


indeed they already made a bigger intake system for E/CLS 55
don't know if they still carry it but if you use the search button here, you'll find it.

unfortunately it was expensive the same, even if it is possible to find something copied/along that same style, but without this new front intake from the front grille.
I think this is what people installing bigger TBs should look for ... and not only them..

this new ram system for the C-series is indeed quite along the line of Brabus ...

good gains, consideing that's without ecu mod

even if those are not Wheel HP !


thanks again for this finding

Hey dyno, you are more than welcome. They still make those intakes for E/CLS 55. But C class is the only AMG 63 model to get the toy.

dyno

I understand that
imo, that toy would usefully apply (as an addition or as an alternative) to their intake for 55 engines because restrictrion is in the opening at the front .. while this new system finally has some really big openings
63 engines have better intake openings than 55s but, if you go for heavy enough mods, this thing will be a must ... and will obviously show a much better improvement than it shows on a stock engine as they tested ..

yes, to fit into a cls 63 or 55, it should be modded or custom made .. and still would be cheaper.
I dream something like that (or Brabus W212 style) going together with the installation of top SLR coolers

toniboi

Yeah the big front induction opening is something catches my eyes first, I was lik OMG that should be potent enough to draw in all the air the engine needs. At least much better than those tiny intake pipes equipped on the stock engine.
Top SLR coolers sounds evil, LoL.

Hi guys I am a newbe so excuse the milk smell

I have just purchased a c63 2009 build with a gruppeM air ram intake. I have a question, underneath the steering wheel is a small black box fitted with a green light that I can press and switch to red or off totally, can someone explain what this is used for? It is has a wire obviously feeding to the engine bay. I have tried to email grouppem directly but they fail to answer?

Thanks
