Re: Mercedes Air Box W/CAI
Can anyone tell me if the actual MB airbox volume is greater (bigger) between the filters and engine ? It will certainly flow better to the filters but I'm trying to find out if all that good air actually gets past the filters and into the engine without hitting a huge restriction after the filters. Thank You!

As far as the tubes go, they stop right beside the radiator. I removed the factory tubes and their mounts located beside the radiator. After the holidays I'm going to get a few pcs of tube and run these past the radiator to insure the intake comes from completely in front off the grill. Will post whatever I work out.
So far I really like what this TVT kit is giving me!

If you took a picture with the grill removed all you would see is the original duct If you want to go past the radiator you will need to remove or modify the air duct. You would also need to add to the aluminum tubing supplied with this kit.

That's why I posted this back when. It's a two piece cover. YES, you guys got a hell of a deal.

Also would anybody happen to know the number to the two tubes feeding the airbox.
By the way I am running the Mercedes airbox without part 1 and I can tell a difference. I have the original intake air tubes tucked inside the airbox and sealed with duct tape.
thanks.
Mike

Thanks JHM!
I ordered the part this morning from Parts.com this morning and got notification this afternoon that it had shipped.
It was $89 plus $15 shipping.
