GruppeM Intake for C63 - Taking orders now!

GruppeM has just released their Ram Air System for the C63 AMG featuring carbon fiber inlets that are 60% larger than factory, a redesigned guideplate, and a K&N filter. Intake temps are reduced significantly for a 15 hp gain and improved consistency over the stock setup.

Shipments begin in June, and we are taking pre-orders now. Click here for pricing

Here's a pic of the system installed:

Thank you.

why not fashion it out of an ABS type plastic and save a lot of money? the cf is just for looks and some minimal wt. savings. a before/after dyno would be nice too.

^The reason GruppeM uses carbon fiber is also because of heat reduction, thus cooler air to your engine, thus more powah, and also the 'mad style yo' factor.

i doubt ABS and CF are that different in temperature when the piece is away from the engine.

+1 ABS and wrapped in 3M CF vinyl

Dynos wont show anything

I like where you're going, however that assumes that the astronomical price is due to the material (as opposed to the $2400 mark-up).

I agree. That is why I'm curious as to what hard data is available to back-up the 15hp claim.

Carbon fiber is a relatively poor conductor of heat, yet a glass filled ABS type polymer will do the job just as well and cost much less. Carbon fiber is typically used for low weight/high rigidity applications. It's simply overkill for an intake and just more bling factor. It may look nice, but it's not worth anywhere near the 2,749 asking price, especially for the advertised 15 hp. They could use the same mold from the cf piece and use the glass filled abs plastic instead. For what they're asking, you could get the K2 and get much more proven hp.

These guys make air boxes for ferrari's and others. That officially gives them the right to sell their products 5x more than their competitors...(for e.g. Normal intake for evo $300, GruppeM $1450)

Its annoying that because this car is farely new and has a 60k price tag mods have to be priced so high. I mean what makes e46 M3 headers 1,400 and C63 headers 4k? Sigh

Is this compatible with the Carbonio system? From the picture it looks like it could be.

Should. The Carbonio front cover is a duplicate of the factory one in CF. The bottom of the boxes are still stock which the Gruppe M slides into.

I wonder how this performs in conjunction with the Renntech box tops?
