So I am wanting a nice intake/ram air setup for my FL E63s, but eveything carbon is hella expensive and fitment is meh.
Now there are basic things we can do like spacers, or even get the new Blackboost intakes which look great but not sure if they are for me looks wise.
So has anyone ever heard of found a place that sells the Brabus Ram Air intakes for our cars? Not sure if they are secretive but looking at pictures they seem to be utilizing a carbon addon piece below the hood to guide the air into the filters. Have a look at these picture.
And this video shows the hood on the inside. It seems as though pictures are impossible to find.
Yes this is from the V12 E63, but it's the same setup on the CLS at 3:25
These photos look like the CLS63 850. The channel installed under the hood diverts air from the front, under the hood, and into the air boxes on top. There are no hood surface modifications. The E63 850 is probably very similar. I agree CF looks great, cleans up the engine bay when opened, but I have to wonder if this yields any significant performance difference on its own. In any case, best of luck to your research.
I will be installing a blackboost intake in my car next weekend the 9/5 and will be taking lots of pictures and will be doing a dyno runs to see actual data as it seems very limited at this time hoping to get the info out.

Here is my results very happy with the result and up top really freed the turbos and they are not working as hard. And yes hood closed during blackboost pulls M157 Blackboost filter installed
lets get you in a set of Blackboost intakes let those those turbos breath only downfall is you can fit a AMG cover or leave it off.
I couldn't care less about the engine cover, that doesn't make me any faster!
I'd be interested, but not at that price. What kind of sponsorship deal you got?

none at this moment just sale price, and its first of its kind performance wise actually works and functions, and its not made in china and its hand built so actually pretty cheap its not a honda. lots of man hours involved.

its a bargain, there isnt another intake thats performing at this level for this pricepoint. Amazing Value

Yes, it is a nice piece of kit. Love the improvements above 4k...I may be in the market for one early next year, but it's doubtful I can do before then. Too many other things going on right now.
Update: seems like Brabus is literally impossible to get a hold of, or they just don't exist.
That blackboost intake is starting to look good. Just want that dark gloss black carbon
personally i would get the bb, and try to add the roof intake if you can later. It would be awesome if bb could get that part copied. It is too big to print imho.
