the stock tubes imo are the most advanced technology by car engineers. i was gonna do this but then i realized it's gonna be the best bet if instead of removing the frontal tubing originally engineered... just keep it in and get a K&N filter for the inside of the filter casings. this is gonna free up a lot of air over the paper filters and be louder and keep the frontal tubing as engineered by the guys making these vehicles run so smooth to begin with.

Very nicely done video, but you got the opposite of what you where doing this for. 1. The stock tubes *directly* routed fresh, cool air into the engine because the ducts are completely enclosed right up to the openings in the deck above the radiator. This is an optimal situation. 2. You removed this direct routed fresh air system and installed a a system where the filters will draw under hood hot air into the engine. The heat shields MIGHT protect the filter from engine heat, but the filters can only draw in hot under hood air, and a very minimal amount of fresh outside air because the filters are in an open space and just draw in the easiest air which is all around it. 3. The reason the factory ducts, even on a Mercedes, are plastic is because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, ESPECIALLY compared to aluminum. Aluminum is an incredible conductor of heat. It will heat soak quickly, and will transfer that heat to the air flowing through it and into the engine. This hot air entering the engine is less dense and contains less oxygen. Because of this, the burning of fuel in the cylinders makes less power. You are now no longer drawing in ONLY fresh, cooler air from outside, and are now instead drawing in hot under hood air (less dense) and *heating* that hot air with the aluminum tubes to make it even hotter (even less dense, less oxygen). The engine can only make less power because of physics. I hope that gives insight into what's going on here. I didn't just want to join the others in saying "this doesn't work like you thing," but instead I wanted to give the all the reasons of what is actually happening here. So that you don't think I am someone else who "doesn't know better,"....I graduated from an auto tech school, did it for a living for a while, have built several muscle cars, and have worked on cars of all generations for the past 40 years between maintaining and repairing my own cars, my family's cars, my wife's family cars, as well as friends and coworkers. All that being said, you did do a really good job making this video. As I said earlier, nicely done.

You never want this installation. You will pull in way to much heat from the engine bay. There’s a reason why the original ones are pulling air from the outside like they should.

@BOSSMARTIN Жыл бұрын

Yeah it’ll be safe to install without the heat shield, it’s just a extra measure of protection to keep hot air from being sucked in.

@Bax60 7 ай бұрын

The hot air is being sucked in because you put those on there and now they are sucking much hotter air from the engine bay than the stock hose were ,which were sucking cold fresh air from the outside .Hot air is less dense ,which means it has less oxygen which decreases the output of the engine.Get a thermostat and tape it inside the hose of both..you will see a much hotter temp going in to the engine off those cold air intakes then the well designed stock set up ...Buy hey ,they look cool ,now you will get less gas mileage and a slight decrease in hp ...especially in hot weather conditions

@1001Hobbies Жыл бұрын

The computer compensates for intake temperature and injects the appropriate amount of fuel. He won't get a lean condition, but because hot air has less density, and oxygen, than cooler air he will have less power.

Can you install it inside the tubes ? You would keep fresh air and still get the intake mod

If you are referring to the stock intake tube, you could retro fit them to attach to the front of the cone filter, but a better method would be just buying a high flowing K&N filters similar to the stock filter style.

Doesn't make any sense. Too much hot air from the motor and due to the missing pipes the pressure in the manifold is missing as well. Minus of hp!

@kevinc1162 Жыл бұрын

The hot air isn't that much of a problem because they will be directly infront of the stock air inlets also pipes missing? Really? They wont screw up the pressure BUT you may be right on the loss of HP
