If you look closely these M119 custom airboxes are up to one inch taller top center vs. the MB or OEM or AMG stock airboxes. They are said to have a 30% increase in internal volume. Renntech claims 10 hp on theirs but after discussing with fellow R129 members actual gains are questionable if even any. I will have a few base chassis dyno runs very soon and will keep you posted as my own high-velocity, knife-edged TB prototype is next in line.
