Any SLK55s located near Costa Mesa?!?!
I ask this because of this thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/246273-55-kompressor-air-boxes-na-v8s.html
Vadim said it would take about 15 minutes to test if the airbox would fit or not. They are making damn nice gains for that cost!

I am 10 miles from Costa Mesa, but I can't tell from the thread if this is a worth while endeavor. I guess I can just call this Vadim person and see. I'll give it a try and post the info.

Alright, I'll be heading over to VRP tomorrow afternoon, 6/05/08, to see if this clears our hood. Is 10rwhp worth $550? Could there be any warranty issues? I have a CPO 06' SLK55 with over a year of warranty and 80,000 miles remaining. I don't want to jeopardize my warranty, I may just buy one of these.

I stopped by VPR and the airbox definately fits. Vadim seems like a great guy with a great shop. He had a beatiful SL65, but wouldn't trade straight up. Oh well, had to ask!
Anyhow, 10 -12 HP seems worth $550. I may go for it.
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

'06 slk55
Very interesting....
I can't stand the look of that cover though. I hope they come up with something better looking than that. Also, I am among those that question that dyno chart. The 55 (C or SLK) should put down about 300 stock. I don't get why it's so low.
Also, why is the torque so low? Check out the dyno on this stock SLK55.
