350 Carbon Kevlar Intake snorkles
I read somewhere that the 350's come with a carbon kevlar intake snorkles for better performance. Would this modification fit on a E320 (if I remember correctly it could) and would it give me any performance gain? Are the 550 ones bigger? Would the 550 ones fit on a 320?

yes, kevlar intake tubes will fit ur car...
prolly not a significant difference, but the kevlar tubes keep the temp lower than the std one...
plus, it looks way better!

So, more cold air going in? I've heard they give a deeper tone too. Anyone know what the part numbers are and how much they would cost?

I don't know.

How much would the carbon kevlar intakes cost?

What's the price difference between an E55 airbox and C32 airbox? Probably the C32 airbox would be too short in regards to the intake manifold.

Is the airbox really worth it, is their a performance gain at all.

For the price of the kevlar intakes it's worth it.
