1999 CLK320 Intakes?
I drive a w208 320 and I was wondering what are my options on upgrades intake wise (ie. are there any cold air intakes, or short rams?) I don't want to just upgrade filters. It seems like all the performance parts are for the 430

I have one to...you don't get a whole lot out of it, but you do get a noticable difference in throtle response....and the noise it makes when you step on it sounds cool. But to make it functional you have to put some thought into it and find a way to make it suck air only from the outside and not inside your engine bay because you will end up sucking in hot air. I used thermal insulating milar padding...kinda like the stuff you see on cars that have turbo systems. You can get it at most perfomance shops. It's shiny and it's thick insulated padding.

i have a cold air intake i can sell. i also have an extra pack of THERMO SHIELD i can come off of to wrap the pipes with. PM me if interested. i just put on a new cold air setup. this one goes all the way down into my bumper practically. i took off the leftmost piece of plastic "mesh" off my stock bumper so actual cold air blows on it. i wrapped all the pipes in thermo shield. it not as practical to have a cold air intake with pipes that cook the air before it can get into the intake manifold.
if you look underneath where your stock air-box is there is an almost perfect place to put the cone filter at the end of the pipe. the hole to get down there just isnt quite big enough for the filter to fit down, but the pipe fits down perfectly. you have to unscrew this panal under the car (just 2 screws) to put the filter in the space and put it onto the pipe. once down there you will notice that there is just a small area facing to the right that is an opening to this area. today i also had a piece of aluminum cut to put in this opening as way of further isolating this area. it almost serves as its own air box now!!! i will post pictures of the finished product tomorrow. its too dark right now.
the tempeture difference down there is very noticable. its much cooler.
