You better put a bypass valve in the pipe to guarantee not sucking in water.

You need first find out what diameter pipe are you going to use then do a search for the size of bypass valve on ebay.

alright guys... i finally got my 55k airbox in that i bought from anthuny. I might be installing it soon but i decided to sell my car a week ago and if i sell my car this week then i will be selling the airbox as well. If i dont sell my car then i will install it. Is it easy to take off the engine cover? any help or advise?

CLK 55 AMG 2005 and CLK 63 AMG cab.2007 - 2009 EVO - 2013 ML63 AMG - 2018 G63 AMG
Pull out the 2 tubes

and take the back of the hole cover and pull toward you
the 4 clips will unclip (Can't brake these)
the 2 part will come as one

I shot gun the airbox if you sell
