Do you guys feel any noticeable difference in acceleration? Hoping the purported 20HP and similar TQ figures are felt. Any thoughts? Was thinking of a tune, but since I'm going to buy an ext warranty, I decided to only do bolt ons...

With the kind of power an AMG63 puts down it would be an optimistic lie to say that you feel a kick in the pants difference from installing the intake. That said there is a very noticeable increase in the engine's willingness to come up to speed especially under load. The engine just feels 'happier' while accelerating and pulls out of medium to high speed corners with greater ease. I hope this helps.

I used the rubber gaskets... still won't fit flush/snug. Also, I didn't have an oval shaped depression to trim off, did you? I am putting this in my E63, so maybe there is a slight difference... and I got the wrong one?
Can you send an up-close picture of the MAF sensor in the CF airbox? Thanks

I would recommend unscrewing and lifting out the airboxes while the MAF sensors are still in, it makes it easier to get to the clip at the bottom of the MAF sensors. Once the silver clips are popped out, the rest is just screws, clips and the hose clamp.

Just to give you guys a background on the Quality Control (QC) that we do. Before any kit goes out we trial fit an OEM MAF sensor to ensure that it slides in properly.
The pin shown in the image by carlostossuniam is not present in our test sensor and having investigated this with Mercedes it appears as though that pin is present in newer moldings of the sensor and serves only the purpose of acting as an indexing pin to the plastic airbox lid. Trimming this pin off is in NO WAY PROBLEMATIC and we will make revisions to the instructions to reflect this.
Way to go MBWorld users for showing us this change
A few other notes on fitting the sensor:
1. The small M3 Allen head screw is a set screw meant to hold the sensor in place. You are to stop turning it when it is tight and NOT when the end of the screw is flush with the carbon. Do not just keep cranking on it when it is tight!
2. The sensor does not need to be pushed right to the point where the plastic lip of the sensor is resting against the carbon. You just want to ensure that the rubber gasket on the MAF is seating well to make a good seal. Sometimes the OEM MAF gasket is a little deformed over time or the fit is a little off so we do include die cut foam gaskets in each kit to replace the OEM ones offering an increased level of sealing.
Hopefully this helps out any users who have struggled and thanks again to everyone who has taken part of this deal. We are well past half way of our allotted promotional inventory for MB World users. For those sitting on the fence come to the dark side and join in on some carbon goodness for you AMG63

Be careful when putting the airboxes back in you put the MAF sensor the same way they came out.
There are 2 reasons I can think that you had problems putting the MAF sensor back in.
1. You had the MAF sensor in the wrong way. The MAF sensor goes in a different way on each side. See in this image how each side goes in different.
2. The allen head screw was stopping the MAF sensor going in properly. Unwind the allen head screw all the way then try again.
Hope this helps.
