The larger diameter intake tubes of the SL55 setup extend out where those smaller diameter supports were. This allows for more flow…..
3) The fuses are not removed for intake installation reasons. They are removed to disable the traction control system when dyno’ing the car. I think it has been said, there is no need to continue this practice.
Hope that helps...
::EDIT::
I noticed your driving a C32 AMG, not sure if those radiator supports are on your vehicle.
thanks. that is helpful. i do indeed have those black inlets, but are those different than the supports? or perhaps they are attached them or are them?
