CLK500 with C55 Airbox
 

The box just arrived 30 mins ago and just wana share with you guys. Not yet on the fitments but it should be bolt-on. I will post some more pics when the box installed. Just in case you guys going to ask why didnt i get the E55 airbox i have had a chance to buy it but the seller :X (dont laugh Kevwood lol) . Anyway, im not looking for hp out of this box but the looks( yea i pay for the looks lol) and i'll take it even if there is 1 hp :p:. Thanks Sinister :y

I'm thinking to take out all the baffle inside the housing. What do you guys think ? There is a thread about that but couldnt remember where.

Here they are,

So wait? You get better airflow from that?

Congrats Andy. I have always liked the look of the C55 box. Didn't know sinister was the seller. That box will go nicely with the color of the car.

Thanks Wes and what do you think about the baffle inside the housing ? Just wana get everything done before i put it in the car.

Andy....
Give me an answer, legit. question.

Take a dremel to them.

lol only dyno can tell.

Andy

Wes, i dont have that tool but i know the guy at the bodyshop can do it for me...prolly for $5 :D.

Andy

Most AMG airboxes improve air flow. That's why the E55 airbox swap is a common mod. The E55 box has been dyno proven, not sure about the C55.

I will compare my stock airbox with the C55 box side by side see what the different but for right now cant do $sh*t its freezing out there.

Andy

lol, tell me about it. It just started snowing here, again!

Another step up for another member in the pewter club!...it's gonna look great Andy



Angelo

I'm pretty sure it will looks good :y.

Andy

Make sure to take a nice engine pic.

Will do Wes :).

Andy

It bigger in height (taller) diameter. Renntech airbox is the same way. You can really see the different in height when you use the factory front cover with Renntech airbox. The box is almost 1" taller then stock.

Good to know that Klinh that means I will gain some and of course not that much compare to E55 airbox. Did you get like 4hp out of your E55 airbox ? just cant remember...


Andy

I gain 4 rwhp with E55 Kompressor airbox. Hooleyboy with his C55 AMG SC gain 10 rwhp with E55 Kompressor airbox. He then remove the airbox and installed the Renntech air box and gain 15 rwhp. :nix: But remember, the renntech airbox is taller then the C55 stock airbox and the C55 stock airbox is taller then the Clk500 stock airbox.

Looks Good Andy :y

If i get 2hp out of that i am happy :).

Thanks 2MCHCAR

Andy

Lookin nice Andy.... post pics when it's installed

Looks great Andy, in fact, it's a hell of a lot nicer looking than the E55 box I got. Considering that these boxes add 2HP here and maybe 4HP there, the cosmetic mod is the real draw. So, in the end, you did just fine :D

Slap it on and get some pics mate!

Man........ you guys sound like you never saw c55, Clk55...etc airbox on the car before.:D

I haven't! :rolf:

ahhaah its not that everyone never seen it but they just never see the C55 airbox on the 500 :rolf:

lol @Kevwood :D
