W204 Air Intake Pipe

[jskywalker]

The air intake pipe for the W204 is long, it is connected to the left vent,  and goes from left all the way to the right into the air box. 

I saw those with twin turbo, the pipe on the left is connected to the left vent, whereas the pipe on the right is connected to the right vent. 

Will there be any advantages if I switched the long pipe with a shorter one and connect it directly to the right vent?

Hi,

What I did on my w204 is, remove the plastic cover  on the right vent, to let  more air flow into the engine...

But honestly, i have not notice any different so far .. but logically, it should make the engine cooler ..

I'm thinking just to swap the pipe to the one in the pics. 

Couldn't find the original part no. Maybe to get 3rd party...

Hi Jtang - Your Carbon Revo air intake looks cools. Care to share your experiences in installing it:

1) has it improve the performance of your C180

2) how much have you invested and where did you install them - appreciate if you can send me the info via messages 96834031

Thanks/Cheers.

That was done some years ago and no longer own that car. 

Yes...performance has some improvement as cold air intake is a lot easier & better.  Another word..it breathes better. 

Cant recall exactly how much....but it wasn't cheap, $1.2k I think. 

Done at Carbon Revo. Look for Lawrence 91097821
