You do not need a Renntech tune in order to run this box.

There's been a good bit of conversation that keep arising from this thread. I think its interesting that a high quality track proven product gets picked at like this. Everyone loved this air box but didn't buy it because of the cost. Now, we get a great deal and all the sudden its not a great air box according the competition?? Give me a break.

Rennetch pioneered the first air box and its been proven to add power. If you want one lets get one.

Back to the original purpose of this thread. Who's in?

One last note. I spoke to Hartmut and he said the front sections will be available within the next couple of months. YEEHAW!!

Did anyone figure out whether the airbox requires a tune as per Josh's post earlier?

EDIT: Sorry keith, just saw your post above, thanks

I emailed Renntech regarding fitment to my car.

If they come back saying its ok then I'll be in too.

My Eurocharged tune responded well with this box.

+1

The box works.

The price may be still high for some and that's fine but this price won't
last. For some of us who are trying to squeeze every last drop of power
from the platform this is a no brainer.

And anyone buying this box should definately be on the list for
the front sections.

Given the SL63 engine is less 'de-restricted' than an C63 would it have a similar benefit on an SL63 ?? Might need 2 Keith!

I guess if one was interested in putting a supercharger on Sl63 then this Renntech product would be superfluous?

I'm in!

I got a reply from Renntech:

"You just have to specify in the order that it is for your ML63 and we than make one up with a dummy air chamber with our logo on it"

So if it's not too much hassle, could u please put mine down for fitment to an 07 ML63
and that it's to have a dummy air chamber?

Thanks

I guess this might even work better with the GruppeM style intakes?
Hi Keith,

Thanks for the effort to put everything together!

PLS check above two questions! I'm also very interested but need clarification first!

And some basic questions below.
1. Renntech one, as your "yellow circle", is only "upper portion" of the air box and can be directly bolt-on.
2. The "buttom portion" of the air box remains the stock one and the air filter can use stock filter or other after market filter like K&N.

How about above two questions from Maverick? Both he and I are not in the US so need more attention on the US/Europe/RoW issue!

From what we've noticed, the RENNtech airbox and the european ROW box is still quite different as the RENNtech AB replaces both the top cover and the connecting Y pipe. The European ROW only replaces the the top half of the airbox with the same size cover, but without the charcoal filter bracket and the plastic plate.

When we installed this airbox on a CLS63, that did not come equipped with the vacuum chamber, we just left it as is.

Another great thing to note here is that we've had customers with this airbox on there vehicle for over 5+ years and still no yellowing like some of the CF airbox out on the market.

Like I said before, great price Keith! You will Rarely see this airbox sold this cheap.

Hi Keith, by chance do you have any more info on that front section/snorkels in terms of pricing, availability, and if we might get a small discount if we purchased the rear box?


Thanks,
Anthony

The front section is still in R&D.... I recall RENNtech mentioning that it may take at least another 2 to 3 months before completion. Don't know about pricing though, maybe Keith can chime in

Just want to make sure my understanding is correct.

You mean Renntech airbox can fit any type/spec(US, Europe, RoW) of 63 airbox without any problem. Just a simple bolt-on replacement! Am I right?
