M156 ROW airboxes...worth it?
Is there a difference worth changing out the USA boxes for the ROW ones?
I realize there is a gain at WOT with noise and power (
) . Is there perhaps some increased throttle response or better gas mileage or a bit more HP being made due to more air intake ? (LOL)
Being a NA car, a flash/chip would be mostly useless IMO. Maybe the ROW boxes and a front resonator pipe replacement is enough of a mild mod?

None for now
People in the C63 thread have noticed increased exhaust and better throttle response. I'd say go for it.
As far as exhaust setup, resonator + secondary cat delete is the best cat-back setup on the M156.
