Clearing up the intake tubes!
Just had a look on my bros slk55 09 & I seen in front of the intake tubes where the frot grill is there is wiring running in front of the entry to the tubes its like fat wiring & a big clip! Would getting them out of the intake tubes get a lot more air in & add Hp ?
& has anyone done this ?

This has been discussed before, and I'm pretty sure it won't make much of a difference performance-wise. Besides, I wouldn't recommend altering or relocating those "clips" because they're impact sensors that deploy the airbags in the event of a collision. It may also be against the law to do so... If you want better performance on the intake side, I would either get a supercharger or purchase the Renntech airbox with some BMC filters like I did. There was a noticeable gain in power.
