So I got my carbonio airbox.

I installed it except the engine cover bit I screwed up so I need to get Mercedes to fix that part up for me by ordering a new one.
Illl post pictures up of both the boxes and pros and cons...


By the way to the myth of the carbonio giving power, it feels like they do but the dyno test tomorrow will prove it.
276wkw stock (370hp) is the whp a stock e63 amg has 6.3.
There was a few things I was happy about with carbonio and a few things I was disappointed about.

Pro: Finish quality was amazing and installation was fairly easy.
Con: the washers with the product gave me second thoughts as well as how the MAF was installed.

Pro: volume is 10-15% bigger inside with the expansion chamber
Con: took a picture and look, in my opinion if the inside of the intake was finished of smoother there would be less friction thus more air-flow, correct me if im wrong though.





And the final result, keep in mine the engine cover is just sitting there so far I need to get it fixed up by ordering new clips and new badge as that ones pins broke due to the glue.
I could personally feel the difference in performance between the two products.
But in saying that I wont know for sure until the dyno results.



Any questions feel free to ask

Looks cool. Looking forward to your dyno numbers. No check engine lights yet? Good luck with your testing

Drove the car for 40mins and no CEL with the carbonio surprisingly.

I literally just ordered these for my car. Can't wait for it to arrive and to hear about your dyno results!

Do you notice more noise from inside the car?

The cars been sent off should get it back Friday, dyno after air intake, then a dyno after the headers installed then a dyno after the custom tune.

The weird thing is... the car went quieter and the exhaust note seems a tad deeper.. :/
And no I couldn't hear any noises inside the car.

There's a lot of posts here on MBW about the finish on Carbonio CF. I'm surprised they still are around.

As long as the out come is of the product giving more power, finish doesn't matter as much then.
