Looks nicer IMO and it's bigger than the standard AMG airbox.

Think I'm going to wrap the silver cover Carbon Fiber to match the airbox?

What do you guys think? good upgrade? I think it's very expensive for what it is but it certainly looks so good under the hood.:D

On the rennntech site they claim this should add 10bhp and 10ibft? who knows.

Next up the LSD:thumb:

Cheers.
 
Looks good but as you already said,way to much money for what it actually gets you
 
It looks good but I cant believe any performance upgrades..
but then Olly is a lot more experienced with racing and he has one fitted to the C43...
 
It prevents heat soak more than anyting else. The gain is in the hotter weather.

Looks spot on.
 
Looks good, how much was the part if you don't mind me asking? Was it the price in the link?
 
Nice, but you lose the little plaque that tells you Gunter proudly handbuilt the engine.
 
Tasty looking thing that.

Typing tasty, how was the pizza?
 
Thanks guys, I am happy with it, havn't driven it yet as the car is off the road so will drive it and see if it makes any difference, not expecting any huge difference but I'm hoping I get a noticable difference...

Sweetpea, I paid £1500 for it.
 
£1500 is steep for what you gain in my opinion.

I thought you were saving up for a C63, couldn't you have put the £1500 in your piggy bank? :dk:
 
@BenzedUP

Just bought one for my CLK. Its on it's way from the states.

What's involved in fitting? Is it straight forward? Swap out for the old Airbox?
 
Looks good to me got to love carbon :D I've got a carbon ram air kit + filters & hoses lying around for a C63... didn't end up buying one so it's just sat here.

I agree, it is expensive for what it is...

I'm keeping the c55 now, not going to sell it but as for the c63, I'm not sure, think a white cls63 or an sl63 might be on the way at some point in the future.. who knows.;)

will wait and see, I really want a convertible for the summer though.:(

Was really easy, lift up the stock airbox and replace it with the new one.

really simple, you shoudnt have any issues.

Cool, I take it you did it yourself?

Did you use the stock filters from the original AMG Airbox? Or new ones?
Looks like I'm going to have to swap out the old ones..

Yeah, fitted myself.

You don't need to replace the filters, the Renntech airbox come with stock AMG filters.
