Can anyone tell me the best place to get the ROTW Airboxes at the best price? I have the part numbers but just looking for a decent price to pay ....

Sonny - I bought mine there, IIRC $247.50 each. Call them and ask for Shawn. They can be a little hard to get ahold of but Shawn is easy to deal with and very quick in getting the parts out.

thank you, bhamg. I called the number on the website a couple of times, but I haven't been able to reach anyone yet. Hopefully soon.

Edit: I was able to reach them. Thanks again.

I've seen one dyno so far that showed a nice gain in the middle of the powerband but other members have stated that there is no gain to be had with ROW air boxes.

So, I really don't know. I'm curious about them though.

I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the need for aftermarket filters or airboxes but when you hold up the two tops side by side it's obvious that the ROW airbox is less restrictive. IMO it's the kind of difference that I wouldn't expect to show up on the dyno though...I think you'd have to be at speed for it to produce more power. That said, it does seem to me like a no-brainer mod with headers.

I agree with you.

The way I view this topic is that the ROW airbox tops are manufactured by MB and they are used in the non U.S. E63, which makes a lot more power than the C63. They have to flow more air, otherwise, why make the U.S. airbox tops more restrictive?

There should be an increase in airflow, especially at higher speeds.

It has nothing to do with it bc ROW boxes are used in non-US C63s. That's tune and 1/4th bigger exhaust. But it's obvious looking at them that it can't hurt and it wouldn't show on a dyno with a shop fan.

I understand that. The point I was trying to make was that the mere fact that the ROW boxes are used outside of the U.S. (where emissions laws don't necessitate charcoal filters), especially in the E63, which is at the top of the stock 63 series hp ladder, shows that MB would prefer to use these boxes compared to ones sold in U.S.

The more I think about it, I agree with you and others that have said, the ROW boxes shouldn't show a gain on the dyno. But, on the street, in real driving conditions, I think it's reasonable to expect a gain.
