I have a 2004, C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan. It has an intake silencer that sits between the intercooler and the intake plenum. Its purpose is to quiet the intake noise. Upon inspection, this device appears to be nothing more than a muffler for the supercharger noise. Has anyone removed it and replaced it with silicone boost hose and metal tubing? Seems as though removing a restriction from the intake would be beneficial. Any thoughts?
