here go some claims from the RPI scoops that are a piece of Aluminum you added after modifying the intake baffles . Do they help getting more air in the car ???? 1000% , how do i know??? After install i was at the track and after a pass i got a Camshaft error reading due to too much air going in and not enough flowing out from the exhaust side hence why i did the cat delete afterwards and added 3 inch pipes .



RPi Ram Air Induction Kit - E63 AMG
One of the major issues with the E63 is the lack of intake air volume available to the engine during hard acceleration. RPi's Ram Air Scoops converts your factory intake system into a ram air type. Other aftermarket induction kits mostly suck in hot air causing a loss of performance. The use of heatshields are not very affective as heat shields mainly work to block radiant heat. Utilizing the stock intake boxes, expect a 10whp and 11wtq gain with 70mph airflow. RPi's Ram Air systems have been dyno proven as well as track proven and come with a 30-day money back guarantee.

Yes they will , At least they did on my car . too much air flow and not enough exhaust flow gave me a camshaft error reading on exhaust side .

Pretty much the car was saying "delete my cats you big dummy "

W211 P030 E63 AMG // W204 C63 Coupe
From reading I'm about to go take a look under the hood

Im interested in doing this as a start for engine work on the 63, you are very limited to what you can do while the car is still under warranty.


So at the end of the day who makes a better product for the money? RPi or TTM? and why?

the RPI item is only a piece of aluminum that you zip screw into the modded air baffle and the TTM scoop is a welded scoop or baffle and by far the better built item

That's pretty pathetic.

Here's a VIN from a random '05 S55 on AutoTrader:

Okay so TTM it is!
Now from this point will it throw codes for too much air? Remember you saying something about removing your cats.. My exhaust just has a resonator delete done.

trial and error will tell . I also had the CArbonio airbox with the BMC air filters at the time . If so delete the cats and put the resonator back on , it will sound alot better .

resonator removals do sound a lil mustangish to me

I just took mine off, good idea, I also shaved a small amount of the rubber wings. I did notice that my right tube is not fitting over my intake, so I had to reform it and get it back on, it was hanging half on? I am talking about the end that is closest to the radiator.
