Selling my Phenolic Spacers
Well, couldn't get the VRP air box to fit with my spacers, so I'm selling them.

Fitment Question
When you say "VRP" Box, do you mean VRUS' airboxes?? I am contemplating one of these, but I do have the full EVO cooling kit with the Phenolic spacers. This sounds like something I should know before pulling the trigger on the box!! BTW, I think the spacers are dynamite!! Even after "enthusiastic" driving, I can rest my hand on the SC and the intakes and they could be described as "warm" at the very most. Before the cooling kit, even after "normal" in town start-and-stop driving, the SC and intakes were scorching hot. A mist of water out of a spray bottle would sizzle away in no time! Also, I really think the cooler temps make a DRAMATIC improvement in power on these Kompressed cars.

The Renntech box is completely rigid like the Vrus box. The problems is when you put the spacers in, they raise the Surge Tanks about 3/16 inches. This in turn raises the air box 3/16 inches since the air box connects and rests on the Surge Tanks. If the box is rigid then it will be 3/16 inches too high to connect with the TB. This will be the case with Renntech or Vrus.
If you use the stock air box the flex in the Y tube accomidates the raise in th 3/16 inches.

2007 cls 63 030
I have a friend at work who just put a phenolic spacer on his SRT8 300 and he raves about the cooling effects. Does anyone know if there is a spacer available for the 63 engines?

In a stock set up the lower portion of the air box hooks into the Surge tanks. Because of this, the height of the surge tank defines the height of the entire air box. Vrus's air box uses the stock lower portion. so it in turn is dependent on the height of the Surge tanks.

They use the same MB part number. The difference in cost is only like a dollar or two. With shipping you don't same money; you get convenience of not going to the Dealer.
