Looks really nice but are there any performance gains? I see from the post above there is no change in sound so $3k is a lot for something that hides under the hood. But it does look incredible.

Intakes on modern cars typically do not add performance gains meaning for turbos cars. You slap an intake on a new Chevy V8 and it’s like 50hp for just a filter.

For Mercedes you would need a custom tune to see power.

I had an Armaspeed CF kevlar intake on my 2018 E Class it also looked amazing.

Typically this is for just to show off under your hood. If you dont do car shows or social media and your car is otherwise stock. Theres no point.
Once I get my DME unlocked I will get the Armaspeed CF intake for my 2024 GLE 53 the M256 engine doesnt have as much CF but it still looks great.

For most cars, you're right. But in the case of this engine specifically - and not to **** on Armaspeed's post specifically - but the Blackboost intake for this engine has been dyno'd as having major gains. Given, it's on a W212 with other minor mods, but still. And it's significantly cheaper.

I'm sure this one's great for impressing Instagram chicks or whatever, but if you want your car to actually be measurably faster...
