Installing Custom Intake On A SL55 AMG (With Data)

[@williamstoney3503]

I have a 05 e55, glad I came across your channel it is the best. Real information not glitzy and commercial.

[@Nd_72]

Sorry

[@nmlracing9803]

I wouldn't personally do this on mine but I love watching and living vicariously through you. Always a banger!

[@Nd_72]

Trying new things is what will help make cars faster and faster

[@crowslots]

Underrated channel and always great videos ❤long time watcher

[@Nd_72]

Happy we both think that lol

[@xxkai45xx48]

my suggestion for the videos as well would be to try and make an improved intro the ones you have arent too bad but they could be a lot better to attract more viewers to the channel most new viewers will watch for 5 seconds and either leave forever or stay if you got a more juicy intro like i dunno you drifting your cars in the parking lot or doing a fat burnout maybe or you could even get that clip in there of you beating the brand new mercedes at the track with the slk32 that video was awesome i just think a better into would improve the viewer retention i love your creativity and your funny to watch you have a great personality also dont let what others think about you ever dictate the decisions you make thats how you lose your authenticity please dont ever do that Thanks !!!

Hey Brotha, I'm loving the channel! I ironically, I live just south of downtown Orlando and one week ago I bought a well maintained mechanically stock 04 SL55 with 107K miles. The plan is to build it up in stages, and for each stage to be pretty balls to the wall. In order, I'd like to address cooling, intake and exhaust flow, suspension, brakes, transmission tune and finally power. I've started going down the rabbit hole of intake options and out of all the options I've seen, I think what you did here gives the most benefit with the least drawbacks. Maybe we'll meet up sooner or later.

[@Nd_72]

Maybe will will And yes the intake so far is the best almost

[@xxkai45xx48]

great idea adam much better then before with just the cone you should put that setup on the e55 and test without pipes and with pipes to see the diffrence this is a great idea though good job this setup will help a lot with air intake temps !!!

[@Nd_72]

Thank you and so far working great

[@xxkai45xx48]

@@Nd_72 just remembered you got the top mount intercoolers lol might not bolt up so well on the e55 haha

[@ELCHNO-zl7lv]

That’s funny I already did this to my clk 500 and people use to laugh at it but it’s exactly works

[@Nd_72]

Yessss it does

[@RealDougFields]

With the O/S TB you should do a 3" dual-inlet silicone elbow and use in-line air filters with your piping. I think you would get even better temps that way.

[@AprilRichards-kn1ch]

Great idea! Might do that soon

[@veselinfilkov7407]

I can watch this for hours!

[@Nd_72]

Good

[@twinkyjohannes]

Awesome! What is that app called?

[@Fernandonelu]

You forgot to mention the 03-06 S55 AMG

[@nelsonstirling288]

Changing the accumulators and servicing the valve blocks doesn't take much... Once they're done it's better than factory...

[@pfoxhound]

I think that the under grill idea is that the air pressure stands in front of the grill, before it gets in radiators it leaks all over the radiator area, to the sides, where those fins were. How many miles this cone filter lives, did you check on dust inside after first cone filter?

[@andrewdelpiccolo181]

Hey bro can you tell me where you got those custom floor Mats in your previous video please? As well as a link to a good STAR machine on eBay?? Thx bud! Great vids!

[@TheTwinzx11]

Where was the cold air originally coming from?

[@Nd_72]

by the grill

[@pfoxhound]

What about some exhaust pipe or cut out to remove heat from under the hood. Old style modification like added couple washers to mount of hinges so that air can escape from under the hood by windshield area?

[@Nd_72]

Headers will be soon

[@yolo-cars]

Looks cool! Since I have a different engine, thus my setup would be different, so I'm just enjoying watching this one. Do you want eventually to build a wide-body car?

[@Nd_72]

A wide body clk209 or a slide would be cool

[@yolo-cars]

@@Nd_72 Yeah, Like CLK63 Black Series.

[@TheBadnite]

I tried to tell you on i4 west bound you have n break lights but you wouldn't roll your window down. Sound good

[@Nd_72]

Lol oooo good call I will look into that

[@Nd_72]

They are fixed now

[@sirlayo]

Where can I buy this intake. I’ll buy a set for my e55

[@Nd_72]

it is made by me

[@mrkylewo]

What did you do with the breather hose that connects to the passenger side stock airbox

[@julesviolin]

What about driving in heavy rain ? That will get ingested into the inlet. Those flaps you cut off are there for a reason ⚠️

[@Nd_72]

I live in Florida I rains a lot and no problems

[@ZoneTelevision]

It’s hard to imagine these are 200 mph cars.

[@Nd_72]

Oooo I will test that soon

[@Roverplug]

How safe can it be in the rain after you cute those air intake blockers. Wont it sock water in and damage the engine with stock air intake?

[@Nd_72]

never had that happen and I live in Florida

[@torrnike]

Can I install on 82mm throttle body with top mounts? It's better than K&N ?

[@Nd_72]

I have a 92 with tops on my e55 so yeas you can

[@glennjames9152]

Where is my Christmas tree!!!

[@julesviolin]

I'm keeping my 38k 55 stock. It's fast enough on UK roads with the millions of speed cameras we have 🙄 Folks who upgrade and molest engines seem to have future problems !!

[@Nd_72]

if you don't do it right you can but dang 38k is lowwwww good for you

[@Billy-xw8uu]

what is the girth and length of the pipes?

[@Nd_72]

3in

[@devarrahilliard4154]

We’re do I get the mushroom cone from ??

[@Nd_72]

Amazon

[@bigthecat1808]

Weed is a hell of a drug ND

[@Nd_72]

[@georgeoganesyan9512]
