Not the SL55 airbox - but you can fit a V8 MB airbox (bigger filters and snorkel tubes) with some minor modifications onto the N/A Crossfire. It's been done several times with no MAF issues.

OK, but when I look at Steve Hellums and MikeR engine covers (which both have SL55) am I seeing one with modded air boxes and one without?

 

Steve Hellums only has the Y and intake hoses, which he had to mod so they would work with the stock air boxes. While MikeR, BB and myself have the complete setup (air box, hoses, Y).

 

Steve used just the SL55 Y-Pipe that goes from his factory airboxes to the throttle body.

The bottom picture is a complete SL55 intake - (Airboxes, Y-pipe, Snorkel tubes) The SL55 airboxes are 25% larger in size then the factory SRT and the I/O ports are 3" so you get a true dual 3" CAI to feed that hungry SC.

You can see by the below picture that the silver paint is just a touch off. Nothing a spray can and some clear won't fix.

 

I see. Thanks!

 

I sometimes wonder how much more air flow I would have gotten if I would have went with the SL55 air boxes too. But I just like the looks of the engine the way it is & didn't want to change to the bigger air boxes because they really didn't match up in size to the engine cover. Truthfully I don't think I'm loosing much if any if I can run a 12.51 @111.62 on a 80 + degree day with the air just feeling thick.

 

I do believe you could drop a couple tenths with the larger air boxes but it’s all about preference. Agreed, I don’t think your loosing anything because you removed choking points and as you stated, “12.51@111.62 in 80+ degrees”, speaks for it self .

 

Has anyone added a CAI in conjunction with the grille mod to make it less restrictive? Is there any improved breathability by performing the latter after the former?

 

+1 Has anyone done some modifications on their grille too? To allow more air into the CAI...

I cut ALL the 'deflectors' off my grill to allow air to flow straight in. Also moved the horns like Brian did so I have no restrictions in front of the radiator or SL55 air intakes.

I used a heat gun and a few different size peices of exhaust pipes to to enlarge the ends of the intake tubes where they go through the radiator support panel.

ok......here's my question.....i have the non srt...and from all my years of driving,shouldn't the intakes go straight down like a other cars would have?and how in the hell do you remove the little round pieces that are connected to the intakes by the headlights?????cut them out or do they come out!!!

 

I like the stock look. Does anyone know the part # for the V8 airbox that will fit a 05 NA and also the year and model MB to look for?

THANK YOU !!!

 

Me too , would like to have same info.

 

We sell full conversions with MB airbox, Intake Tubes, and KN filters, all ready to bolt on.

ya but for $470.00 doesn't anyone know were in a recesion!!!!!!anyways is that for a n/a or just the srt6?

 

Regarding the TVT / MB airbox conversion: Is the air box volume drastically different after the filters or is the imporvement in the intake tube and filter size?

 

is this for the n/a or the srt-6????

 

This is for the N/A

 

What I would like to see is baseline numbers before and after improvements to the intakes. I mean, $450 is alot of money for what realistic gain? Everybody knows that providing good airflow is a good thing, but that implies that the current design, stock, was in fact designed sub-optimal, and if so, then the designers did so with that sub-optimal design with full knowledge and should be chastised for that. But I don't think they did that on purpose-that makes no sense to me. I don't think they would have done that. Everything is a trade off in one form or another. So I assume that the stock design was for some other variable that maximized some goal.

If we assume that there is a better airflow for $450, then what is the expected result? If better fuel economy, what's the payback? If it's just in less fuel use for the planet, then that's ok too, and one must determine if their goal of less planetary fuel is worth it to them. If it is better sound, or performance than one must also do their own trade-off analysis, cost versus result. For me, 1/10 better in the 1/4 mile is not worth it. A .5 mpg increase may, or may not be either. 5 more mpg, and a 20% better throttle response would be, but I'm not sure we're seeing that. Mark
