I have it sitting right on top where the original one would sit. Its an eye sore but I don't mind it. I never really got around to looking if it will bolt onto the side like the older m156s but don't see why it cant.

Ah, I misread a post above. So it doesn't need vacuum but does need filtered air?

I might have missed it earlier in the thread, but is this mod only for PFL C63’s or will it also work for 2012+ C63’s?

Here is where I have my canister

Thank you for the photos.

When the E63 / ML63 accumulator purchased on eBay arrives, I'll poke around and see if there's an OE-style mounting location.

In the meantime, am I missing something or does this part just function like a basic vacuum canister?

What I'm referring to (would need to measure & compare volume to OE though):

yes that would work. Seems like a lot of trouble for 1hp imo tho.

the renntech intake is the best for N/A application. It’s one piece and large continuing runner into the larger volume y pipe.

been proven by dodger and Blk...

$2,460.00 for 10hp though...

PeterA90

it’s renntech what you expect lol.

Jasonoff

I guess it's worth it because...

Costs be damned, the RT intake is indeed the optimal solution and I'd be lying if I said I'm not still considering it.

Realistically though, ROW air box lids, Weistec filters and a larger OE Y-Pipe (which is where the RT intake actually changes things) will yield 80+% of the result at < 20% of the cost.

Is this the metal vacuum reservoir that is needed?

Yup

scratch77,

Thank you for the advice on the E63 y intake pipe and vacuum accumulator. I just installed it today. I don’t think I can feel the difference, but just by the look, it does seem that there will be more air flow into the intake.

skratch77

Its probably less than 3whp and no body can feel that. But its a cheap way to get almost the gains of the renntech box.

Any pics of your install?
Where did you locate your vacuum accumulator?
Thinking of doing same can pick up parts for AU$150.

I got pretty lucky. My buddy has an E63. He broke the clips on his intake pipe a while back. He went to a pick and pull and bought an extra intake pipe and vacuum accumulator. He just gave them to me for free. I zip tied the accumulator onto a metal bar in the back.

Thanks, I'll have to see if mine will fit on other side of engine bay (right hand drive).
