I made some custom Air scoops to catch more air and I feel a diff. and it cost me $1.66 from home depot, dremel, metal cutting discs,metal tapping screws/laths flat black paint and 2 hrs. I will be making a more prettyified ram air scoop later and spend a little more time on it lol.. but for now this is functional and i am happy.

OLD SETUP

NEW SETUP
Basic tools you need: Dremel,Metal Disc Cutters, Lath screws
Home Depot: roofing section will have these metal plates for .44 ea I bought 4
and flat black paint

Measure and cut the plate in half

it takes a few runs back and forth a few obstacles in the front but measure and cut accordingly

cut the OEM air scoops so you have enough room to screw in the new Scoops

use the laths to attach the plate to the OE scoop and then cut the ends of the screws off with dremel.. paint it let it dry and then attach

it should pop right in place. it doesnt look pretty but its Functional, I will guarantee an increase from the gate

sorry boss, this is not going to provide any sort of dyno proven gain.

The stock intake and snorkel setup is easily sufficient to feed a 5.0L motor.

Im glad you're happy, but to think this is making some sort of difference for you is a bit silly.

there is a diff and i know there is and if u direct your attn to the dyno chart on the st link i posted you will see a gain. The idea in itself is Awesome but to think the stock intake setup is sufficient is crazy. the airflow is so restricted its ridiculous and as you know i swapped my airbox for an AMG box as well. do you have a W211?

Compare Stock air scoops

to my modified air scoops how much more Air am i getting then stock? MUCHO ! it makes sense in my brain lol..

Hi Rasheed,

I am glad you were able to copy our concept and make something that works for you. We do have a patent on the function of the scoops so I would need you to take the DIY post down.

Who are you?

You have a patent "on the function" of the scoops? what function is that? that it takes in air? the OEM vents already do that. yeah right.

Looks good. Nice write up

Do you have the patent number for your scoops? It would be very informative for us MB forum members. Like the other member said MB air intakes already has a scoop function incorporated into it and other auto makers already has similar functions from small hidden, not too obvious scoops to very flashy in your face ones.

Speaking of air scoops Subaru comes to mind...

Nice job!!!

are you serious, WHO ARE YOU?

Not sure how much RWHP you're gonna get from that but a big for the effort. There's not a whole lot of us out here that are willing to fabricate parts for our W211's. Takes a little bit of *****, don't ya think?

You patented the AIR SCOOP? Bahaha, looks like you should be going after Mercedes, BMW, and every other manufacturer..

you patented ur design and ur scoops not my Creation or the Concept..My design does not even resemble yours. Thanks guys for the compliments

You are obviously so full of sh*t it has clouded your vision. Even if you did have a patent there is no protection against someone building one for their own car. Patents apply soley to the reproduction of a patented design from a competing entity, not to DIY's.

Oh and by the way, WHO the HELL are you?

Ha Ha Ha..... HAHAHAHAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAA.. (crying now) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. oh, oh, HAHAHAHA, oh, oh.... (wiping tears).. Ha haha..... ha ....

Man, thanks for a good laugh.....

Sorry Rashed, in my haste to laugh, I forgot to congratulate you for a good write up. While I see that the cold air redirection may help, I am just not sure how much or of it would even be noticeable. You do get an A+ for effort though! Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice job!!, I think I will give this a try on my V12

Good job Abboushi!
I tried to make one using some sheet metals I had sitting around in my garage after I saw the E63 thread...but it doesnt look as beefy as yours. Maybe I'll drip by homedepot today and get follow your instructions.

Or is there copyright on it?





FYI.
RPI scoops for the BMWs dynos out at least a +10whp gain, and its nothing more than two pieces of steel plates as well.

again Idk if theres any HP gain BUT i do know when i feel a difference in my car and i feel a difference its not instant but at higher RPMS and speed you def feel it pulls harder.I do have larger scoops then the "COMPETITION" Im not gauranteeing a 15hp increase but def an increase of airflow the more AIR the MO BETTTA. currently i am running My Air Scoops, AMG Airbox and Greenfilters. I also tweaked my exhaust setup and It BREATHES now! I am running an X pipe - > 2 Reso. -> 2 Magnaflows -> ypipe for tips and it sounds awesome..
my old setup was oem reso. -> x pipe -> 2 Magnaflows

this is a cool diy. I am going to try this tonight. I also bought the s500 air tube

different car, different engine, different intake setup.

those things look silly, and Im having trouble seeing a 10rwhp gain.

You patented the directing of airflow to the intake using a piece of sheet metal ? Are you out of you fcking mind ?

what is Rewop? and IPR is Intellectual Property Rights i'm assuming.... (on the very creative ID)
