What will I expect with SL55 snorkels as opposed to the ones I have now? I hear there is a baffle for the E55. Thanks guys, I'm very excited for this 50 dollar mod.

Most likely not noticeable...

Johncy2000

Will it be direct fit?

Your only going to need the drivers side. I bought mine last year for like $15 bucks. Can't notice anything but it can't hurt. You will not need the passenger side

Plus, the driver's side tube from the S55 is a better fit than the SL55 tube, which is too long. The shape of the tube at the inlet is different than the air pass-through next to the E55 radiator, but either tube will eliminate the restriction of the stock E55 tube (which significantly narrows down at one point for reasons unknown). Ditto on the probably not noticeable comment someone else made, but at least in theory, it ought to flow more air.

Sorry yeah, the s55 is a much better fit. Drivers side

I bought the same thing, S55. Parts.com, $19 shipped. Drivers side. Fit perfect.

You will notice nothing. There is no power in swapping to an SL55 intake tube. I don't want to come off brash as text show no emotion...But, I think its a waste of money even if its only pocket change. One thing is for sure, you never know until you try.

I just checked and its part #7 intake left pipe? $18.40 and $10 shipping to VA..

You guys are lucky. My freaking stealer robbed me $45 for that. And yes, there's no noticeable gain but it's definitely better than the stock unit.

Johncy2000

O well it won't hurt to try it out.

+1 I got mine for $15 from parts.com

My mpg shoots up when its on, its gotta do something

Johncy2000

Nice that what I like to hear.

I take it off when it goes into the dealer, along with my "scoops". I dont know if its the combo of the two, but theres a difference.

Johncy2000

What scoops do you have? RPI?

skratch77

Yeah been there done that,you wont notice it.Heck I didnt even notice the python tubes and those were done only for cosmetic reason to match the rest of my carbon fiber setup.

Johncy2000

Damn. I guess its just a little inhaler for my car then.

AWOL

self made, from a broken snow shovel

BenzoDoc

I'm running one as well. It certainly didn't hurt.

Think of it this way. Your supercharger is an asthmatic, gasping for air through 2 straws. You just took the kink out of one of the straws.

Was it the weakest link in our setup from the factory? certainly not. But I've got confidence that as you accrue modifications, it will begin to matter more and more.

S55 drivers side SL55 passengers side?

im guessing they also fit the W209 because the W211 fit.

Johncy2000

I bought both SL55 tubes. Am I okay?

AMG_RL

from what Ive read in other posts, the SL55 tubes need to be modified with a heat gun in order to fit right whereas the S55 tubes fit perfectly with no need to modify.

tbal

correct

A standard right side intake pipe fits perfectly on the left and if you want to believe that a 50% reduction in diameter of and intake pipe has no consequences . . . well, good luck.
