Fairly popular mod with the BMW crowd, particularly the 335 and M5. Most dyno tests were inconclusive since the fans could not replicate the wind created from real world driving. Vbox testing would be a fairly good indicator but I have yet to see anyone post them.

But they list on there website that u will gain 10whp.At that price its worth it.I want feedback from someone have them before i order them.

Will they fit the C?

alqamzi

I think they should.I will call and ask later today.

Personally I would not trust a claim by a manufacturer, even if they posted up a dyno plot. When my car was stock I gained over 20 whp from the first pull to the 3rd...hmmmmm

Do you have picture with this product? I bought one off ebay called Ramfilter but it just does not work. It really looks good but I dont know why I lost huge power at the start. Its like you are getting too much air so there was like 1 sec of nothing happing when you step on the gas then start to move. I took that off in just one day.

But I always wanted parts that works so if this parts really work I want it but if its kind of same parts that I bought off ebay then you should not buy it.

The scoops should look like these.https://www.trinityautosport.com/mer...5%20SCOOPS.jpg

I had similar air scoops on my tuned BMW 335i, and I would be willing to bet that they don't increase HP/TQ; I say don't waste your $$ on the scoops...you drive an AMG w/ an excellent air intake system already!

From the install pics, our scoops are different.

Thats what i thought when i so them.As i said at my old post i don't understand it.

This part looks nice! I wounder how it will look inside the hood.

im actually putting them on my car in the next week or two and will dyno again to see what was gained . will throw it up on the board after . Also doing the Evosport lightweight rotors so this might also effect dyno . @ 466 so far so lets see .

DAGREEKNYC

anything u do to increase air flow usually will kill your low end TQ but u will pick it up in another rpm range .

These scoops are for the E63, CLS63, and CLK63 only. They will not fit the C63, as they have a newer modified version of the factory scoops already.

I strongly recommend not going with the Evosport rotors (at least) for now. Please read some of the issues posted in the W211 E55 section first and see how they're being worked out.

Too late already ordered a few weeks back

Did you put the rpi scoops on your car?

Jae Duk

RPI scoops won't fit, and as of right now there is no solution for scoops. Eloy looked at my car and because of the way our hood and the plastic piece that helps direct air in to the engine is located it's hard to come up with scoops for the car.

I was bored the other day and I went to the local hardware store and did some scoops
pics as soon as I find out how to post them...lol

How can you ever be bored when you have a C63? Just take the car out to some back roads and play with it, going through various RPM ranges, downshifting, etc. You won't be bored any more.

think those scoops are useless, zero proven results have been found nor posted from the BMW crowd
