964+m157

When considering getting a cold air intake from what I can find the best 2 options are blackboost and Armaspeed. If there are other good options let me know.

would like to hear from people that have 1 or the other and why they chose the one they did, and if they are satisfied with their decision.

Lol forget those, PTG leaves then in the dust.

Blackboost for me. check my build on instagram @_amg_nyc

sick, I’m new to the AMG world, replaced my F80 M3 comp with a 19 E63s S213 and live in Stamford, CT.

when’s your next event?

PTG Looks like a good one as well, should I start a new thread and add them to the poll?

I just bought my s213 a month ago, and it’s my first AMG or MB, so still learning what’s available for these cars.

Made the same move..Best choice I've made.

X3M to E63S here. Only regret is the Benz aftermarket is either ridiculously expensive or overly complicated. The only tune I’d like (Renntech HHT) is 4K and all the diagnostics I’d use are remote from the UK. Love the car though

I don’t think it’s anymore complicated than tuning the M cars. It was always OBD and laptop. No issues ever except getting locked out from dealer. The cost for tuning is more money for sure. I reached out to the guys at PTG and the dudes were great. Super fast responses and great knowledge. It’s more components to tune on these than M cars. I’m only looking for a clean factory look on this one with minor bolt on’s. I’ll tune once outta warranty.

On my M6 I had the charcoal filters out, drop in filters in and JB+ on in a half hour. The X3M was a little more difficult but less than an hour. Now I still don’t have a clear understanding how much ECU tune yields without CPC or TCU. And other than the HHT the OBD tunes involve swapping computer files on a handheld. BM3 you downloaded and installed. Makes more hesitant to tune at all

fangelillo01

I did BM3 from the start so it was always download base tune than modify until good remotely. Never did JB4 as I wanted more control but these are somewhat similar. Search the forums. There’s a ton of information. According to PTG a Stage 1 tune only with no cpc or tpc will not gain a 100 hp jump. (Someone correct me if wrong please). The car is limited by two other control units which is why basic just ECU is limited. Hopefully one of the other guys with more experience will chime in.

I've got a used Armaspeed intake available if anyone is interested. Swapped it out for the PTG box with the bigger turbo inlet pipes to match the PTG1000 turbos on my car. PM me if interested.

Won't make a single HP more than any other system mentioned in this thread, however looks great and is full carbon fiber.
I'll take PTG over these but that's personal preference

964+m157

Yea, it seems like I really should have made the poll between PTG and Blackboost

PTG

Just a reminder

I hear PTG is compatible with factory engine cover, with slight mod?
does anybody have picture of it? How much of factory cover do i have to chop it off to make it fit?

More options coming; ModalWorks is releasing an intake soon! Here's some R&D data they shared

Ed99

Any updates on these intakes? Curious to know how these will perform vs the BB and PTG ones.

EBenz89

Available now! https://modalwork.com/collections/in...patent-pending

The No 1 W213 E63 (IG: mr.amg_) in North America just swapped out his BB for the Modal Works and set the 1/4 mile record (9.68 at 150.8)

I love seeing him mentioned because I know him IRL and his car is legit an absolute monster. Craziest part is he does all the work himself in his garage. Dude is a mad scientist.

Ed99

Anyone here installed these yet?

Do they have any numbers to show how much gains? Or pretty much all intakes are the same except for quality built and fitments.

Ed99

Should start a group buy on these!! Anyone has clips on how they sound.
