I dont have pics, but it is simply replacing the driver's side intake tube with one from an S-Class. The factory W211 E55 intake tube, or snorkel, has a pinch on it, and the replacement does not. Theoretically, it should allow for more airflow. Personally, I didn't perceive any gains from it.

Save your money....if you want cheap instant HP and response, go K&N's or Green Filters.

You will never feel snorkel mod on seat of pants dyno, but can feel a little with K&N's or Greens. SAVE YOUR OLD FILTERS.....you will wanna switch um out when you go in for service.



Green Filters

K&N's (Make sure you order 2)
