Renntech Airbox with Needswings DCAI on C55?

Is it possible to use the larger intake tubes from the Needswings DCAI and combine them with the Renntech Airbox? New to this car stuff. Any info would help. Thanks!

Haven't seen it in person. I'm sure you would have to do some type of custom set up. Just wondering if anyone had tried to combine larger tubing with the Renntech box.

The pieces you are talking about are w209 clk Kevlar intake tubes, yes they work, but they did seem to be slightly shorter than the factory C55 pieces when I've had to swap out the NW setup for emissions.

I think he is talking about the needswing kit and rentech box but I dont think he understands how the needswings kit works and how detrimental the air box would be to the flow of the setup.

Thanks guys. Answered my questions. Larger tubing can work with the airbox, but the whole needswings set up and airbox wouldn't make sense, which I understand. Will have to look into the w209 tubes.
