Re: Wanted: Mercedes C320 Airbox
This thread has got mixed up, I am referring to the C320 engine cover. The SLK320 cover is no improvement over the Crossfire OEM cover.
The 320 engine cover that we want is A112 090 11 01, and it has larger intake tubes which are 3" diameter. The SLK320 cover will fit to the Crossfire OEM intake tubes and as I said are no benefit.
Quite a large number of covers fit but we want one with minimal height the 112 090 15 01 is too high and the 112 090 11 01 is fine.
I listed all the components that maximize the air flow to the engine. With the 112 090 11 01 engine cover the OEM intake tubes can be inserted inside the engine cover inlet and fit well. The intake on the cover is too large for them to fit around the outside, that needs the 3" diameter.
If you study the 15 01 cover and the 11 01 cover you can see that the height directly above the intake tubes is about 3/8" to 1/2" lower on the 11 01 cover compared to the 15 01 cover. That difference is critical so it does not rub against the hood.
Forget the SLK320 cover it has confused this discussion, and I'm confused enough.
