I posted this in the 208 forum, but since not all of you go there I wanted to post this here as well.

It appears B&B has made a cold air intake for mercedes. It seemed to me that most of you were changing filters in the stock air boxes and not installing new intakes. I've ordered one so I will let you know how it goes; but I would still love to hear your opinions on this mod.

Thanks

if done right its great...but make sure not to overlube the filter...cause itll mess up your mas in a heartbeat. and that would just be a waste of $400.

Ideally, you would want a heat shield made of a material that would deflect heat better. This is a step in the right direction, but I think there is a lot more progress to be done...

my 2 cents.

Filter looks kind of small, not much surface area.

This is a copy of what I posted in the W208 forum:

Update-

I recieved it today but had problems installing it because some mounting pieces were missing. I've emailed the company, and hopefully they get back to me soon. I did attach it temporarily through improvisation (and a trip to pep-boys) and let me tell you it sounds great. Better than I could of imagined. It has a deep and throaty growl that comes to life only when I really accelerate, so it is not obnoxious. As to the horespower increase, I can feel some but my *** is hardly a dyno test.

Can you post a picture of the one you received? The picture on their site says that it may not be the actual image.

Thanks!

Could you post pictures of the intake? For $150, sounds like a pretty decent deal

What I got looks exactly like what was in the picture. I will take some photos of my own when I get a chance but I am currently way to busy studying for the CFA exam this Saturday, the fifth. Only 30% pass, it is freaking impossible!

good luck!

would these intakes fit the C32 AMG?

I think this would work better if anything works on a W210 or W208

Very nice. Who makes it, and how much?

hubert

I think its like $850 but can't fnd the website i found it on.

Right click on the photo, then get the properties of it - website's listed there.

It is Gruppe M intake. About $850. Expensive.

True. In order to take advantage of a CAI, the filter needs to be out of the
engine bay (away from all the heat build-up). On my GTI, I had the AEM come out below the battery in the area front of the tire and tucked up about 1ft from the ground catching the air from the front of the car.

LOL they make a intake for s320 and s600.......... where is s500?

trust

That's an understatement.

That intake piping is nothing but a short ram and correct me if i'm wrong but i think all that'll do is bog down the engine. also, that filter is not what they make it out to be. i had the a similar, if not exact, replica of that filter (for my acura rsx) and performance wise, it does what it's supposed to do but 850??? The one that I bought off ebay was 15 bucks plus shipping. You're paying for the name - consider some other option.

this is not worth your money.

trust

well, seeing from this picture, it does function as a cold air intake. so disregard my previous post... but 850????? get outta here.

hubert

For $850 it better give me 30hp and suck..........
