New Modification FFE

Hey guys I just started to do what I call Speed43 FFE (Fast Flow Elbow) for Mercedes cars. Please read below for details and pricing. These mods will improve the throttle response of your car big time. Picking up so HP/TQ as well. I have a customer that will be adding this to his car and than he will dyno it for me. Proof will be posted as soon as I finish the mod for him and send it...

I've added this to my C43 and I was honestly shocked on the difference between oem and my mods.
So now I want to offer these to you guys too.

But I wanted to ask if someone can check your car to see how much clearance from the back of the maf and the bottom piece that it attaches which is called the elbow housing. I need to know the clearance from those pieces to the firewall. I need to know so that I can offer the 3 option of these modifications for the clk500. Thanks in advance.

Option One. $55.00

I will be offering the elbow housing that goes from the bottom of the mass air flow sensor to the throttle body opening.

I remove the curved baffles that restricted air flow. Sand everything smooth, primer, and paint to oem look. Ship to your door.

This will help the engine breathe better right from the start.

Option Two. $75.00

-port the bottom part of the maf housing.
-slightly port the top part 1/2 way down from the very top, for smoother flow.
-removing the baffles and smoothing things out from the elbow as mentioned above.

Full Package. $110.00

Everything mentioned above but also widening the back towards the firewall a bit for more air volume.
Pictures of the maf ported and the back of the elbow will be up ASAP.
Pictures below are option one. I hope you guys try these out, you will love it!

Just to update, I talked to this owner and I have ordered the elbow to mod it for him. Turned out its a different elbow from the one here that I sell. But it could still be moded.

Did you ever get this dynoed?

Can't see it doing much.
Baffles are there to even out the airflow to each cylinder
