Guys, finally cleared CF intakes through customs and threw them together loosely. I will be installing them later this week. Will see if I can get a before/after dyno run done, but no street test with 7" of snow of the roads Dyno comparison will be done on stock AMG ECU map as my other DD ECU is out for new tune to be set-up with LTs> Any gains should be noticeable if they exist. If no gain, well just another CF cosmetic mod to add to the list Will update ASAP.

Dave

 

definitely a nice looking piece.

 

Best of luck with the intake, harrower. It looks great.

 

I am inclined to believe that a significant opportunity exists for tuned/header cars in regards to the stock air intake. I would love to see a complete system from air scoops to manifold designed for maximum flow but NOT made in carbon fiber. Price point at $1,000 and real gains of 20~ whp

 

Looks good Dave.

I'm eagerly awaiting your results.

Dyno numbers may not tell the whole story because of the wind speed needed
to replicate real world driving. Does your local dyno have plenty of fans?

Thanks Mike. The dynos here are pretty lame and I am not convinced that they have the set-up to simulate real world speeds. Decent thing is that they let me dyno for free as they love the C63 as they are pretty rare here and they like getting some decent cars on the dyno. Good guys. Will see what happens - or else I will simply need to wait for a day when the roads are clean and dry and take her out. Will update as things happen.

Is this the MCD unit?

 

same unit yes

 

Nice CF. Now if only we could drive with our hoods open...

 

Looks amazing!!! I think it will definitely help your engine breathe alot better.

 

Looking good Harrower... you are officially our CF pimped C63!!

 

+1. The real world is the dyno we can have usually won't provide enough wind speed!

Anyway, still eager to know the result! And Thanks in advance, Dave!

 

Good looking piece. Dyno will tell if it is an all show no go or else.

 

yessssssssssssssss

vendors listen to this mannnnn.

 

I'm beating them up for this!!!!

 

Agree 100%, but at speed I'd be surprised if this coupled with a non-OE airbox wouldn't be good for 15+HP on a header-equipped car. Congrats Dave, you are the unchallenged CF king!

 

Bart, thanks. Have 5-6 more CF parts to do on and I think that will be it. Not sure what else I could do in CF and besides I need to start working on the performance mods more seriously and get it ready for the track in the spring.

 

Looks awesome. It even looks nice as an office desk ornament. Eiether way, whether it does anything, it's mind over matter and it looks awesome!!!

 

My car does not have headers so does that mean a new intake would be useless??

 

Not at all. The purpose of the intake is to increase the volume of air into the engine. This design is suppose to increase the air volume by 1.6 times vs the OEM intakes and force it to the engine with more force.
