That doesn't look to be different from the ones on e-bay for $.99 plus about $12 in shipping and they're barely worth it even at that price. Drop a Green or K&N filter in your airbox and your car will be much happier. Even with a heat shield that filter isn't a real CAI. The snorkle on your stock intake does a better job of pulling in cool air than you'll ever get from under the hood.

On most Mercedes, their intakes can suck in much more air then a cold air intake. The reason would be because the cold air intake sits near the motor, thus pulling in warm air.....yet they look awsome.

the head shield is nice and so is the cold air intake but, IMO i think that the little scoop popping out of the grille sucking in cold air works the best for me.....also have a turbo so it would be a pain to route an intake from the turbo to the outside. In this case for me, stock is better

The head shield is a clever idea, I wold consider buying it but IMO the heat shield is useless in my motor because it wouldn't fit!!!!!! Make one for a turbo, and you'll get a sale
