Custom Air Intake 17GLS550

Hello Gents,

After a long search and wait, finally we have a solution for the air intake.
looks good and does as advertised, you can actually feel the extra power, hear a better growl from the turbos, get actually better gas mileage. Engine breathes better and it shows.
Big props https://tunedmercedes.com/ for the awesome solution and support. Now, after ECU/TCU tunes and new intakes, it feels AMG on a dime. Or better @ 700+ torquies?

Are those intakes ducted down to cool air scoops beneath the car?

I think heat soak might be a big culprit in warm weather
