S430 AMG Intake

Theoretically, I believe it can be done, meaning installing a C43 Intake on an S430. Has anyone every done it or can anyone confirm that it can be done?

I saw people putting the 55 air boxes on the CLK430 and the engine of the CLK is the same as that of the S430. S500 was traded in for a newer 4Matic 430...I just want to close the power gap.

Forgot to add. I mentioned the C43 air box since both it and the S430 have a 4.3 Litre Displacement.

Well, I want to know if the design in airboxes are truly different in the AMGs?

I want close the gap between the S430 and S500 in performance also. I believe some aftermarket air filters, a pulley set and a ECU tune should do that.

Powerchips ECU will match power. That combined with K&N and AMG Air Box will match torque. Adding a pulley and sport exhaust will even surpass it.
