N/A:
Stock Crossfire intake box
Mercedes ML320 (cover only) + CAI (Needswings, etc.)
Mercedes '99-'04 CLK320 intake box
Mercedes '99-'04 500SL V6 intake box (w/ minor mod,see member FP)
...

SRT6:
Stock
Mercedes SL55
...(help me out, I'm less fluent in SRT6)



Those are the only 'covers' that you have options for... other than that you will be running coverless with pretty much any form of CAI.

Don't forget the Renntech carbon fiber cover for the NA. Dirt cheap too

I do not think that would work for the SRT6. At all.

Nor for the N/A since the ML55 has a 5.5L V8 engine...No good.


The SL55 setup for the SRT6 requires some modification if I remember correctly.

The only covers that will work are C240/320. The CLK has a completely different set up and will not work due to the MAF location. The 500SL is a completely different motor so nothing there is ever going to work.

You can also do a SLK320 cover, but it has the same flow as stock.

Just happen to have one of those (240's) sitting in the driveway, wonder if my wife would miss her engine cover?
