Oh Damn you...
I was in my garage last night thinking "I sure would like some CF intake tubes for the 55", and then I let my conscience kick in telling me it's just a cosmetic mod.

NOW I SEE THEM AND DAMNIT I WANT THEM...

HeissRod

Yes!!!!

SheriffDep

Is there a INLET Tube in CF for the E63???????? I have asked this in several threads and never get an answer. I don't seem to see them anywhere, so I am thinking not, but Will there be in the future if not.

Thanks

Carbonio

Unfortunately, we do not have an air inlet tube for the AMG 63.

If you're sitting on the fence I say say this... "pull the trigger and do it, you won't regret it".

If you have any questions about our products please feel free to ask.

BagMan

Those tubes do look nice

Can you make an air inlet to fit the different sized throttle body inlets. Many modified cars who would be buying this have the 82mm TB and a few of us have a 90mm. I'd love to have a quality inlet for my 90mm. It's my choke point right now.

Le55

Awesome. Do you have hoods?

Carbonio

To answer some of the questions....

Answer: Unfortunately, we do not make hoods/bonnets for MB cars.

Answer: Our AMG 55 air Intake can be modified to fit a 82mm Throttle Body. Unfortunately, I am not sure if our intake will fit a 90mm throttle body.
Without a performance intake how can you be sure that is your weak point?


Lastly, we stock everything we sell. So if you place an order we typically can ship in 24-48 hours.

Keep the questions coming.

typhoon43

Your site doesn't say what needs to be done though. Is it just a different coupler is needed?

aghakauve

I need a pair of the couplers for my tubes..

C32owner

Besides looks, are there any real performance gains with these? I guess minimal.

Carbonio

We sell replacement flexible rubber couplers at www.carboniodirect.com

This is a direct link to the Flex Couplers http://www.carboniodirect.com/Flexib.../cpl-flx-3.htm

Denroll

Because it's about the only thing on my car that is still stock. I can test one of yours on a 90mm, if ya want

Carbonio

Fitting to an 82mm TB does not require a different coupler but rather requires the inlet opening of the airbox to be opened to accommodate the larger TB.

ArmoE55

I am still unsure whether this provides any performance gains - if anything, just to help with keeping the air as cool as possible before entering the motor.

I am 50/50 about the intake tubes. And it sounds like it's plug-n-play, except you have to purchase the couplers as well for it to work properly.

Do you have proof?

Please let us know what proof there is about performance gains (e.g. before/after dyno charts). I am strongly considering this product.

Carbonio

Actually by maintaining the inlet charge cool then by natural extension the engine makes more power. This is irrespective of the intercooler because the IC is not anywhere near 100% effective meaning that any temperature decrease in the system before the TB is carried all the way to the combustion chamber.

In addition the inlet tubes allow for MORE air to get into the airbox with less aerodynamic turbulence along the way. This effect increases with vehicle velocity which leads to a new problem: dyno testing.

A dyno is stationary and there is no way of replicating the increase of airflow over the front of the car as it accelerates. The answer is to do drag runs and measure the change in trap times. From there a HP number can be calculated and it was our findings that the gains equated to approx 6-10hp. Not the same as a 100 shot but a measurable gain.

Lastly all of our products are plug and play. I am not sure where you got the idea that you need to buy more parts as all of our kits give you everything you need to do the install including detailed installation instructions.

ELITE_KOV

Fine. If you don't want to provide dyno charts, then provide time slips that show the changes. I never buy a product without knowing real world gains. Also, how can you say dynos don't show gains? Every car I've owned either showed gains, some even negative.

Why are you getting your panties in a bunch? He's asking simple questions and proven numbers that you can't provide. Where does that leave the general public? To question your product and the claims.


The fact is, you need more parts. It's not just the intake tubes at your selling price, people need to buy couplers, too, to make it work on an otherwise stock car.


Am I wrong here?


Sorry, just sounds like a bunch of marketing BS. Those type of products are just for eye candy(maybe some more motor noise) and provide zero gains. I've owned all kinds of performance cars, both NA and FI, and intakes don't do JACK. I'll save my money.

Baronet1

Minimal is being generous. Negligible is a better word. Anybody who says or thinks otherwise is either salesman or likes to blow money.

Save your hard earned $$$, folks.

Carbonio

Yes you are wrong. A customer that purchases our inlet tubes receives all of the parts they require in the box to install them to their stock car. There is NO need to buy additional couplers or anything else.

HeissRod

Why do you seem to be the one getting their panties in a bunch that the vendor replied with their findings, whether you believe it or not? I'm confused because Carbonio's reply didn't seem agitated at all.

As to your dyno question, Carbonio stated that proving the value of these with a dyno-pull is not possible. It's logical just as the value of adding Ram-Air to an F-Body can't be measured accurately with a stationary car.

*Disclaimer...I have no Carbonio products and I have no idea if they increase hp.

Carbonio

Just so that there is absolutely no confusion... All of our products (including our AMG 55 Air Tubes) come with all the necessary hardware for installation, that includes; nuts, bolts, screws, hose clamps, couplers, etc.

I think some confusion arose when someone posted a question regarding flexible rubber couplers.
The answer is, we sell replacement parts for all of our products should you need them. Most replacement parts are listed at www.carboniodirect.com but if the part you're looking for isn't listed please contact us by phone or email and we can help.

Will your "E55" inlet tubes fit the W210?

99lightning

its a shame that intake was not made with some sort of composite plastic I wonder if that would keep the cost down. I think anything more than 400-500 bucks for a intake is just a joke.

berti_00

my buddy had the engine cover from you and it yellowed real quick... are these any different than your previous batches
