Fiberglass Airbox E55, what do you think?

I was thinking of this idea since the beginning. If I could make another air box like the stock one but bigger a little bit and also connected to reach the TB and eliminate the use of Y pipe, would not be good?

Also, the intake tube, i am thinking of doing the same thing, designing them in bigger size a little bit. Cost wise, will not be as expensive as the carbon fiber air box and at least it could be better than stock. right?

Does it worth to go in that way? I don't how much it will cost but I think it will be something like 600 - 800 USD

Hmm, I know that the C32 AMGs had something like this made for their cars and it worked out well for a bit of more power. I guess trying this would never hurt however you gotta think about where to place the airfilters and where everything would go.

Air filters will stay in the same place, I will take the same design as the stock but with increasing the size, who knows, maybe few HPs will come

You gotta think if its worth the money to pick up just a tiny bit. For 800 - 900 you can buy something that might help you out more

nice trying Ahmed. but i think it is better to save your $$$ and get the new 63TT.

they are was much faster. my CLS63TT PP stock is faster than my modded E55k.
