SL55 Snorkle tube mod.
Is this the so called snorkle mod? Just go buy the SL55's Intake tube? I will add in the AM if this is true? Does it help? Do you replace both sides or just the driver side?

A descend driving course...the E55 has plenty of HP as it is already...it won't help a single bit to add more HP when you don't know how to take those HPs to the othersie of the curves...

draggingcents, I think you're pretty clueless. MbenzNL knows quite a bit about the Mercedes/E55 and is very helpful around the board - granted a lot of it is in the electronics and aesthetics than actual horsepower. Nonetheless, what he said is not exactly BS. Outside of 1/4 mile track times (which the initial poster did not make evident) to just mash the accelerator, what he said has some merit.
Also do yourself and this 'planet' a favor and learn some grammar and spelling. Typographical mistakes happen - but that gibberish that you wrote above was just pathetic.

some minor things u don't notice too much like this snorkel mod! maybe it's my brain thinking that since i have a new bigger snorkel it's faster and better, but to tell u the truth i do feel a little be of a change.. i highly doubt it's really noticeable but i can heard it inhale much more.. i just can't wait til i get my ecu and pulleys from renntech and then i'll prolly do the exhaust and hopefully if evosports comes up with something about the heat exchange, i'll add that too...

I've got a sports car for "driving course" driving, why would I want to use a luxury car for that?
