Full SL 55 Intake
Hye all, I tracked down a thread about the full SL Intake mod and went to my dealer with this basic information:
Full sl intake
1130941682 $ 7.00 Hose Inlet #1
1130941782 $ 6.75 Hose Inlet #2
1130900601 $ 98.00 Airbox #1
1130900501 $ 98.00 Airbox #2
1130940103 $ 44.00 Y-Connector
1130942382 $ 7.00 Hose
1130942482 $ 7.00 Hose
1130100967 $ 67.00 SL55 front engine cover
front engine cover part number # was 113-010-09-67.
car reference
2003 SL55
VIN WDBSK74F13F036547
And they quoted me this:
Where are people getting those nearly 1/2 price parts
Is my first information just old? Also, anyone have a good source for the SL green filters?
Any guidance appreciated
Bif

Half price is good news.
Anyone know if the evo kit is the same as the stealer?

I don't know if we're talking about the same thing. The evosport - AMG SL55 Intake Modification Kit - W203 C32 (EVO.PER.M03.I01) is $225. The splitter from the dealer is only $44. I would think the evosport one would be in the same realm of the dealership cost unless it included more than just the splitter?
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Bif

I called them and asked them and its only the splitter thats why I got the whole thing from the dealer. I think they modified the splitter so its direct bolt on for the c32 whereas if you just buy the splitter from the dealer you need to cut the airbox a little to make it fit or something. Call Evosport and ask them exactly whats in the kit

did all that with a c32 and I honestly dont think the boxs did anything for power. the y pipe is what helps the air flow but the boxs really seem to just be over kill. Plus they dont fit on the car all that well. I mean they fit but if you have the SL55 piping for the airboxes (in the back) the pipe will barely fit between the y pipe and the firewall.
I would skip the box's and just do the pipe looking back.

2 questions. First, how long would it take to swap the whole system ? I've read someone said it would take 15 minutes but that seems a little too short. I need to arrange my schedule.
Second, assuming those aren't Andy_Cyp's pics, what kind of cutting and dremel job do we have to do on the SL55 engine cover ? Does anyone care to elaborate ? Blando? Pierre? Bif? Thanks !

Search around, somewhere is a post that goes into exactly what modifications you need to do to the SL engine cover to get it to fit - it wasn't major, and it never did look quite right to me.

These are the threads I've saved under my Favorites, and I couldn't find a specific discussion about SL55 engine cover mods.

The shop did mine in about 60 minutes but they had all the right tools and experience. There is some cutting to fit around the oil cap and to trim the intakes. You need to be careful with the new intakes as it is far easier to suck in water...
As for the cover, I did that myself through trial and error and it took a few hours to get it on in an acceptable manner. There are no instructions out there for that part of the project...

Thanks blando. Looks like it'll be pretty self explanatory once I see it in person. I've been reading and studying about this modification, but there's a couple of things that made me anxious:

The pics are no longer there, so it's hard to imagine what he was talking about. If you saved the pics that he posted, would you mind sharing them with me ? Thanks.

Andy I still have the pictures you emailed me a while ago. But I don’t have the ones from the two pages I mentioned above (post #21). Would you mind checking if you have those? Thanks a lot.
