JUST SAW THIS INTAKE ON EBAY.......
i understand that the market for the C63 is not very big but i think this setup is a little overpriced for what you actually get out of it . if someone is looking for a performance gain , i think i would go a different route

Is .05 worth 4K?


I still want to get the Gruppe Replica for $1100. Its hard for me to even justify THAT.

That is a good deal. But they are worthless from what I hear.

The Renntech airbox Mike (Petro) let me borrow at the track (thanks dude) seems to drop me about .05. I need more data though because the humidity also dropped at that time.

I hear the Gruppe shows some results.

i am certain to get the most out of airboxes you need to follow up with the typical things , More air needs more fuel and needs less restrictive exhaust.

How they test them is beyond me ???? Maybe the power claims are from the charcoals being deleted ????

I am leaning toward the Gruppe replica because I hear good things and the price is better than the Renntech.


As to the other link I didn't know the C63 could use scoops...

Nothing beats ROW airboxes. I have them stock and fitting a Renntech intake hasn't done a thing for performance gains.

Looks cool though!

This thing looks like pigs A$#%
