C63 Airbox Upgrade - Question?
I know this question may have been asked indirectly in the past, but
I just can seem to find the right answer.
Here goes :
Has anyone done an Airbox upgrade on it's own - in other words
not the same time as an ECU flash or header install.
If yes what were the gains and whick make?
What difference will an Airbox upgarde make to a car that has already
got headers, software and de-cat?
Cannot decide if spending that kind of money if justified or not.
Thanks

I would agree with the previous statement. You will not see much gain on a dyno, but I did the airbox mod by itself and did notice a difference in the car. Huge...No, but noticeable. I also like the way the CF dresses things up under the hood.
