The Perfect Cold Air Intake for a 2015+ Mercedes C300 W205 C-Class

[@davidijames_]

Keep in mind viewers, when doing all 3 of these upgrades with the Gofastbits BOV the spacing gets very tight. I would recommend doing all of these upgrades at the same time. The charge pip would be the exception as it is very easy. with the turbo air intake I found I needed to do a lot of in and out (account for loom wires + sensor plugs). I suggest putting some markings (white dots) one where and what angles things should face. You also want to make sure all your clamps are easily accessable should you need to get MB to service something. All in all it is a very tight fit and not much margin for error. You find the wiring looms get shorter due to the slightly large piping, especially when you include the GFB BOV. It was great to have Flexx vidoes as most of this stuff you dont get any instructions. GFB is the exception.

Excellent video. You speak very clearly and at the right speed. Your video quality is excellent as well. I have to ask you a question: We have a 2017 GLC300. I have asthma and my wife has pulmonary fibrosis so needless to say we like to have the cleanest air in our car also. There is a very bad smell coming from our car's AC. I turn the AC off to get the condensation out but no help. My question is that if the procedure you so nicely showed in this video is same for my MB GLC300? I will greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

This video has nothing to do with cabin air quality. This video is about air that goes into the engine that burns up with fuel. You need to do something like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rniwfWqnj66eo8Usi=ZJbnuPk8m9xI8lRo

[@thfreakinacage]

I feel like they should have put the hole for the sensor wire on the other side. The cable would be more relaxed and not have to turn through such a sharp angle. Apart from that it looks like a great bit of kit :)

[@Pkdimmock]

I just got a new air filter and air intake very similar to yours. Problem is I cant get the oem filter cover to come out of the plastic oem turbo intake pipe. I've loosened the clamp, removed the 2 screws. Its loose but wont come out. I tried using a screw driver like you did but am I gonna have to remove the turbo intake pipe too just to get the cover off to replace it 😅

[@roccor.189]

Hey man, I just installed the tornado tuning intake in my car. I have noticed now that there is a lot more smoke coming out my exhaust. I’m not 100 percent sure if it is because of the intake of something else but I was wondering if you ever noticed more smoke coming out the exhaust during the winter time with the new intake installed? Thank you.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Intakes usually have nothing to do with the exhaust. However, if an engine is not receiving enough air to mix with fuel, that could cause a lean burn…which would be black smoke. The filter would have to be like majorly restricting airflow which I can’t see happening. One of the cars sensors would have throw a check engine light. Have you tried installing your stock intake to see if the problem goes away? That’s the easiest way to see if the new intake is the issue.

[@Oooooowow]

Flexx quick question as I’m planning on ordering this from TTS, did you need to oil the filter cone before installing? If you did what oil brand did you use, thanks!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

No. Cottons filters don’t really need oil. You can do it (like K&N does) so the oil can capture more dust and debris but excess oil can get sucked through the intake system which is a no-no. I just leave my filters dry and wash them with dish soap/water like twice a year and let them air dry before reinstalling. The filter from my intake from IE on my tuned A4 is also dry. Doesn’t require oil. Just wash with soap and water and dry.

[@taps_r7]

yo flex, how much HP gains have you gotten from the intake kit, the intake tube, the BOV and the turbo charge pipe? i’m just wondering if all of this will add around 20hp or so or if i’m way off. please let me know!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Go watch my recent Ask Flexx video. The answer applies to my w205 as well.

Anything can be installed at anytime. By itself or as a kit.

[@markesquivel6660]

I followed your advice and took the chance on the USR LED headlights, and it's been working perfectly - Thank you for that. Does installing this cold air intake + the BOV from your other video turn the check engine light on? Just want to know beforehand if it does.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

no issues as long as just the cold air intake with filter, and the BOV.

[@willardbayjingzhi8156]

Hi flexx is it necessary to remove the battery connector when installing this CAI?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I do it for any install that’s in the engine bay or any install that has to do with electricity. Cause during an install, I don’t want to accidentally touch/knock a sensor/electrical component and cause a spark or short in the system. And no, I’ve never ran into memory loss issues after disconnecting a battery. (On multiple cars I’ve never had that issue).

True but every damn dealership is gonna do everything in their power to blame your aftermarket part…even if it’s not the cause of an issue. So indirectly, installing an aftermarket part basically voids your warranty.

No point. A c250 only has 1 pipe from the main cat. Why would you wanna split a 1 pipe to 2 just to do an x pipe? The only reason you should be splitting 1 to 2 is for looks like a quad tip. X pipe only make sense for cars that have 2 pipes coming from the main cats

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yes but there’s like 3 versions. I did a video on each of them over the past few years. There’s a version with a Black cover, faux carbon cover, and a real carbon cover. You just need to email tornado tuning and request pricing on which you want. Info in description.

[@RalfysHobbies]

Yo Flexx quick question did this make your check engine turn on? I did the intake /turbo charge up grade and it keeps popping up. I took it to the shop and the mentions something about the wire that goes to the intake loose and recommended going back to stock

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nope. No issues. Thousands of people bought and installed this and barely any issues. If there’s a check engine light, then there’s a specific code that could be pulled from that that will tell you the exact issue. Sounds like they just wanna blame the intake (cause it’s easy to blame an aftermarket part). If I were you, I would of just taken the car to an auto part store, have them pull the code for free and see what the real issue is and go from there. Did you even get the fault code from them? Hard to believe an intake wire caused a check engine light.

[@RalfysHobbies]

@@TheFlexxGarage appreciate the fast response man. That’s what I figured it sounds like they are just blaming that . The code I’m pulling is P04F0 something about evap but I just read a comment you had replied to saying to contact tornado tuning that they have a solution

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Did you transfer the large rubber o-ring from the old charge pipe to the new charge pipe? Cause I forgot to show that in my charge pipe video. I did show it in my carbon charge pipe video.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Also, if you also installed the “elbow” shaped pipe from an aftermarket dealer, the sensor might be defective and causing the issue.

[@RalfysHobbies]

@@TheFlexxGarage I’m pretty sure I did but not positive since I did it a while ago but I’ll check my stock charge pipe and see if I did.

Which intake is better MST or TTS for performance because i already have a BOV installed

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I’m not familiar with MST since I’ve been only sponsored and only used all of TTS products. All I can say is the TTS products been pretty good but keep in mind that “intake kits”…regardless who makes it…is not really a noticeable performance enhancer unless you really build up you engine. Only advice i have for intakes is make sure it’s a shielded/covered air filter or it will heat soak and you’ll lose performance.

it's more into the turbo...not more air into the engine. The diverter valve will release the excess. It's not that big of a difference to require a tune. The performance/response gain is from the air being colder...not more air volume. The system will automatically purge excess air that's not within the sensor's limits.
