Supercharger muffler on the C32 engine ?

I did a search but could not come up with any info...

Just wondering if anyone knows if there are a resonator or muffler-type system on the C32 supercharger system similar to those found on supercharged C230's ?

Thanks..

Yes, they are inside inlet tubes of air boxes. Remove plastic hoses that connect to air boxes and look inside.

The easier way would be to upgrade to SL55 airboxes and splitter. About 5HP on a stock car and up to 10HP on StageII.

You sure it's in the airboxes themselves ? I have already installed the SL55 intake but besides the bigger airboxes and tubing, I didn't notice anything in the way of a muffling system.

I know the C230's use a different supercharger setup but the muffler out of there system looks to be a totally separate piece :

They are there. Inside side tube that leads to filters.

"note" the M271 1.8L motors 2004-2005 C230 do not have this type of muffler. Only the M111 2.3L. Apprently a member on the Mbklasse.com boards took his M271 motor supercharger apart to find this, and when he did find it and took it out, it left a big square hole in the inlet, hence making the area very rough and would possibly contribute to some HP and/or flow losses.

what do you think Vadim?

M271 has the muffler upfront, between intercooler and TB.

Supercharger does not like any turbulent air at the inlet. I would have to see it what it looks like.

Vadim i'm hoping this setup would help me some since it won't be sitting on the intake manifold like the old original AMG setup.What do you think?

We have used this setup before on normally aspirated engine with good results. This is the best flowing AMG setup. You are going to like it.
