I know we've posted 8 RWHP with our CAI on a dyno and Needswings has done the same. That alone shows how restrictive the stock intake is. With a ram air set-up, at speed tests would show better results.
As for the volume, the C320 airbox is a good 50% increase in volume and probably more then enough for these engines.
With a new MB cover, intake tubes, and KN filters we're looking around the 350.00 mark. I'll shoot over to MB tomorrow and confirm our wholesale price and the discount for quantity.
I'd expect this set-up to pick up 8RWHP (which seems to be the most for an intake set-up) and close to 15RWTQ. This will pretty much beat the current CAI offerings and look extremely clean.
