what the hell! lol

what do those do?

It got Cone K&N filter inside the cansiters. The cansiters is help to keep hot air out. I like that better then the open cone K&N filter type.

damn we should try it!

Interesting!

This looks like it can work for w208 also right?

dynomite05

Those cones look like they are specifically designed to fit with that engine. I would imagine they would need some modding to fit in another car.

I like it! If it makes power, go for it!

Gross?

It looks like the hose that comes out of your dryer.

Klinh

I don't even do that mods on mine Civic, you wouldn't pay me enough to put that on the Clk.

dynomite05

lol, I couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks

In my opinion, this looks like a big hunk of *****. Look at the crap hose thats being used to draw fresh air to the filters, no chance in hell of air passing through that unrestricted. Also, the little cone filters inside the housings are most certainly not dramatically larger (maybe even smaller) than the stock filters (sq/in). To me, it looks like someone bought some cheap a$$ Ractive filters then added some flexible ducting and slapped it together.

It's junk, Fast & Furious 'mod', no 2 ways to slice it. The air intake that Buffy uses is more practical than this joke.

Klinh

Damn......Kevwood !!!! That sound like something I usually would say. So i decided to.......

dynomite05

lol. You're funny Klinh.

Kevwood

I tell it how I see it when it come to things like this!

Seriously dude, I've seen so many of these things and so many con artists trying to pass them off as something they aren't for so long that I really have no patience for them anymore. I had a contract to manage a store in Canada years back (during the F&F days) that had crap like this in their store - I got rid of all of it and loaded in actual products that worked. I hate seeing guys waste their money on this *****.

Maybe I'm a little grumpy because I'm still travelling (big surprise eh!) and I'd rather be home getting ready for Christmas.

dynomite05

Kev, will you be home for Christmas?

Kevwood

Hey Wes, yes I will mate, just in time. I was in Cairo last week and in Kuwait now but I'll be home on the night of the 23rd. Then the wife and daughter and I are driving out to Muscat, Oman (Country next to the UAE, about a 6 hour drive from Dubai) on the 24th to have Christmas with my parents (they live in Muscat).

:singing: "I'll be home for Christmas, just you wait and see..."

Klinh

Damn......your works sound like a vacation to me.

M-bENZ

Ok either E55 airbox or Renntech (if you can afford one) but thats it. NO MORE aftermaket intake for CLK please. Our stock airbox is good enough and well designed already.

I actually laughed out loud Klinh! Yes, I am a very lucky guy that I get to see a lot of different places and live in Dubai but there is a dark side mate. Spent 319 days on the road last year and some of the places I frequent like Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and others aren't really holiday spots...

But, at the end of the day my family lives a very good and safe lifestyle so it's all worth it.

dynomite05

Cool. That's convenient, not having the folks half way around the world. Were they there before you, or did you bring them over?

Kevwood

My parents and I have always been scattered all over the world. Recently they were in Singapore, then back to Canada and over to Oman. Pretty awesome to end up living so close to each other for a change really.
