How much does the community think an SL 55 set up is worth to purchase? What's better overall, the full setup, or just the Y splitter?

jturkel

around 300.

full setup is better. you wont see much gains with just the y splitter. you need more air flow to see the maximum gains gained by adding the sl55 splitter. the airboxes are 25% larger than the stock c32 boxes and the larger hoses help suck in more air.

The SL55 intake is the same are all the others right? E55, ClS55, so on.

I will sell you my 55 intake setup for $200. 55 Boxes only with K&Ns and the snorkel tubes are already modified with the 32 openings for the perfect OEM fit. Includes shipping.

hooleyboy

Klinh

Correction...........you sold 2 this week !!!

romz

hey just wondering but will this set up fit a c240? and what else would be required to make this fit the car?

///AMG4EVER

Honestly romz, I don't know. I know of some C320 guys retrofiting the 32 boxes.

+1

I believe you will gain more on top as to oppose to whole power band.

jturkel

yes this is true. i was speaking to brandon a while back about this and he said that most of the SL55 power comes top end whereas the code3 is throughout the curve. having driven with both intakes, i can certainly tell the difference with both. i may try to use a hybrid for the track tomorrow to see how it works: SL55 hoses and boxes, and C32 splitter with Code3 intake.

romz

Yea I have seen alot of people doing that also but those are so hard to come by used so this one is available. The only thing is I am not sure of the fitment.

hooleyboy

You are right. Did you get yours yet?

DarkXerox

Mechanically, the intakes from all the 55k engines should be the same correct? I think the only difference that the SL55 had from the E/CLS/S/CL was that it had different snorkels right?

jturkel

i think the E had a restrictive snorkel

Heh. I'll have to wait until a later time to pick up an intake. Christmas time is brutal on the wallet.

advans

yeap. I was the first to do it. then I jumped into a Renntech Airbox! but now its sold....


btw, New E55 Airboxes including Y-spitter both boxes, mounting brackets, cost less than $300.

jturkel

SL55 airboxes (with stock AMG filters), y-splitter, and hoses cost me $288.xx from www.parts.com (includes shipping)

Everyone says to order from RBrenton who apparently has access to wholesale prices. With him, its well over $300.00 (not including shipping).

i just did this mod last month and searched all over the net for the best prices.

advans

yah, I got the prices from MB-Ft.Lauderdale

yeah...from parts.com, E55 amg intake, is cheaper than the SL55 intake.

the E55 intake comes out to be $262 without shipping, and shipping is $10-15.
