Anyone have an E55 OEM TB plenum?
For those of you that have upgraded TB and plenums, are there any that would hook up a Jangster with your old plenum? I want to do a test fit and don't want to tear my car down. I won't hurt it at all. I will just line up parts and see if the holes, etc. line up. I also want to see if there is enough wall to shave it to 80mm. Then, I'll send it right back. Assuming this works, I will be looking to buy used plenums to go ahead and prep, so please let me know if you are willing to sell as well.

She is doing great. She gets better with age. 
People still cant believe that sound comes from a MB. They all say its got a big block Chevy in her. A wolf in wolf's clothing
In the next couple of weeks, I have some ideas to shoot at you and get your advice on, about what we were talking about when I was down there.

Thanks, dude. Looks like Roosh is hooking a brother up. I'll do a quick test fit and see how the screws line up. Most likely, I will get the SL55 plenum as well as TB. Saving $500 and risking anything is stupid.
Now, what should I have done to the plenum prior to install? I will polish, but any coatings or colors?

Yup. Either way, i needed the '07SL55 TB. The question was if the $600 plenum was also needed or if the OEM E55 one could be modified. I'll be able to answer that question with this test. I will likely go ahead and get the SL55 TB and plenum for my mod, since I don't want my car down too long. Also, I want to have the plenum treated for the best airflow and minimal heat soak.

The stock plenum will not work with any of the 80mm TB's.Bolt pattern is different.Coating or polishing the plenum will be a waste of time and money,no gains will be had.Intake track after the Sc is where the gains are,not before.
What TB do you have now?
