Intake system for SL600?
I had my stock intake apart the other day, and the stock filter box looks very restrictive, but there isnt much room for anything to replace it. Does anyone have any good experiences with aftermarket intakes for the 600, or know of companies that make an intake for it?

I have been working a bit with Victor/Vrus on the airbox issue. I have been told by a couple of sources that they are identical boxes, they do have different part numbers but use the same airfilter. Vadim please lend some knowledge in this area if you can as its a huge stumbling block on the bi-turbo cars, as of right now there isnt even an aftermarket airfilter for it.

I pm'ed VRUS today concerning our airboxes. He is willing to get a project going for a custom carbon fiber airbox for the TT 600 engine if we can get 10 people together. Count me in!

From my understanding I thought that the regular Air Box and AMG Bottom box were identical? The only difference is the top portion? I could be wrong but thats what I was told. For example the renntech air box its basically the bottom of our covers and just a bit higher carbin fiber upper portion.....
