Anyone Make CF intake systems for our cars??
Anyone, makes a CF or even an Intake system for our car. I was checking at GruppeM's site, and they make one for the W208 and not the W209. Was wondering if it will fit for our cars as well. But on another not, anyone know of an actual company that does make one just for the w209. Thanks

Since my motor is supercharged, I was concerned the extra positive displacement would result in a pressure drop at the OEM airbox, hence the Gruppe M ram effect charger design actually worked well, and much more grunt at frwy speeds. I'm not so sure how much gains would produce on a N/A engine. The Gruppe M's fit & finish is superb to the other aftermarket intakes I've used in the past (BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox & custom CAI).
Unfortunately, the unit has been sold as I'm parting out with all my aftermarket products on my E-ride
BTW: I recall seeing your car at Hot Import Nights...WOW!!! Simply awesome
I do hope you find a way to retrofit a dual unit cuz that would be an attraction at the shows!Here's a few more:
