Thumbs down Warning SL55 intake is not a direct bolt on mod.

I ordered the parts after seeing the original thread here:

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...threadid=39254

but the parts that I ordered
113-094-01-03 --- y-connector
113-094-23-82 --- hose
113-094-24-82 --- hose

does not fit. The outlet on the stock C32 air box is simply too small to fit the inlet on the 113-094-23/24-82 see picture below.

I was wondering how did you guys made yours fit, or maybe I got the wrong part?

This is what Vadim and I have been saying since the beginning. You have to make the proper ducting for it. Incorrectly done, you will lose power.

Thanks,
Ben

Read Vadim or Ben's opinion to do the right thing right.
air mass sensor cost $510 and will be easily broke for improper
intake hoses hook up.

I order the SL55 Y pipe & hoses for V8 kompressor, I got
the SL55 intake boxes & engine cover already.

Isn't most of the air mass sensor broke because of the additional dirt/fine particles that passes thru aftermarket filter elements NOT because of the additional air "volume".

It's not easy to find out the root cause, overflow or particle
It's just an electronic stuff
I heard some enthusiasts often connect/disconnect hoses
found frequent airmass failure than stock users.

For example they always try colder plugs,different hi-flow filters
lighter pulley.... put on/off the cover & hoses very often
the risk of improper hookup arised.

Shine: how much did you pay for the Carlsson strut tower brace? I thought its not supposed to be sold separately from the RS complete car?? Will you be able to get one more for me?

I believe the 32 motor doesn't have a air mass sensor. It uses a MAP sensor in the intake manifold for airflow measurement.
