Maximize airflow in your engine with the VRP C63 (s) and GLC63 (s) 3" intake kit!
Our intake kit features large 3″ tubing from filter to turbo to accommodate the some of the largest filters on the market! This kit covers performance and aesthetic all in one go. These extra wide intakes will enhance the already incredible turbo spool sound in the M177 engine while providing a better throttle response and increased airflow!
These intakes can be ceramic coated in a variety of colors for optimal heat resistance!
This kit includes large reusable and re-washable K & N filters! **These kits ship with K&N filters by default which do not require the Filter sensors shown in the photo
What is your opinion on heat soak with these intakes?
I would imagine there has to be some benefit to the airbox. Ie - Weistec makes an intake with an airbox and larger filters. Granted its $2099 compared to $600, but maybe its worth the extra money to prevent heat soak.
Also, is there benefit to just changing out the stock filter with a BMC, AFe or weistec drop in?
Just trying to feel out all my options. Im not interested in sound, although I don't mind if there is some. More interested in performance and certainly not hurting the performance just for sound/aesthetics.

We have yet to receive negative feedback about heat soak with these intakes. Typically, most people are surprised at how low it is. The design of the engine bay keeps the heat in the center of the engine and then is pulled out of the bottom of the car during operation allowing the intakes to remain at ambient temps. You do have a few different options to make sure of it.
One of our customers ceramic coated and applied radiant barrier to his intakes and you can see his results here:
