Description:

For Sale are these VRP Intake tubes. I was probably one of the first ones to buy these for my E63 M157 back in 2019. I took them off after a week as they never fit the M157 engine correctly. I stored these away & completely forgot about them until now. Low & behold, VRP now states these will ONLY fit M278 engines in the E550/CLS550. 

$180 shipped

These scumbags (VRP) scammed me on these too. They did change their website after selling out their first few runs and me (and prob you too) *****ing at them very bluntly on these forums. And they lied through their teeth when I showed pictures of their terrible mismeasured design that can total a m157. They could not be decent enough to offer refund so I will make sure everyone knows what scum VRP is. I also was one of the first to buy and had to take off after a week and thank god I did or it would have worn through a coolant pipe. Do not buy from VRP under any circumstance as it’s a buyer beware situation. Plenty of great vendors to support.

Yes I remember thinking that these tubes were just a tad too small/short for the 5.5 M157..as if it was designed for a smaller engine. I remember PM'ing VRP but received zero response, I should have made a bigger deal but was real busy with work & life around that time.

That being said these will fit the smaller 4.7 M278 engines in the 550's as we now know a few years later & as VRP states on their website
