Dose he make this form scratch or something???? I bought this product because i am tired to changing the air box mount, the mounts last no more than 2 weeks and dont know how to make a oil seprator till today!!!!
No, its all where the air is drawn from, remember it doesn't stay in the box for long. Draw in cold air and the intake temps will remian cool.

MB spent more money and R&D than K&N to design a good intake, I doubt anyone other than say Brabus or AMG can really make a better intake.

That is the only reason I assumed it was his.

My bad, I did not look at the seller's name.

There is another guy that has been selling them on ebay for a year or, I saw the picture and assumed it was his.

monstercraftsman/dieselid

Yes, I make this kit. I have one installed on my car and instead of getting in debates back and forth I just like to let my car speak for myself.

Thanks again.
Haven't gotten any complaints on the kit thus far from people that have actually purchased it.

here's the current ebay link to this kit

Hmmm

Mercedes spent millions designing, engineering, testing, and building the system.

A replacment cobbled together with little or no design, engineering and/or testing is nothing more or less than a PIMP MOD.

Degrading MPG, performance and/or durability is not logical.

Right on, just because it makes more noise does not mean its better in any way.

Intercooler.

Too much power!

We had a traction issue so, we made a few more mods... rear wing, dual rears.

Thanks but, I think I'll keep it. It's getting around 40mpg last we checked.


Of oil.

I'm sorry I didn't save the picture of the stainless kitchen sink/hood scoop.
