Just installed the XS Power headers on my 03 CLS 6MT and am now looking to install some sort of intake. I have a K&N on my S2000 and really like it. Just wanting to know if someone has outlined the differences/advantages/etc... in the more popular intake systems available, such as, AEM CT Icebox, generic, etc... I searched and searched but didn't see any specific threads covering this. I know there are probably a lot of different opinions out there but I would like to hear some objective points, including pricing.

 

there have been a few threads exactly like this one. usually this is the answer
ct: more hp gains by 1-2hp, oem look
aem: louder, aftermarket look

 

CT IceBox FTMW

 

 

 

Resonator removal with K&N drop in FTW...what can I say, I like the stock look + HP gains can't be too far off.

 

i like the noise.. lol aem for me

 

.

 

agree i love the way the AEM growls...comptech is too quiet

 

yep, search for "ghetto box".

 

CT Icebox w/K&N filter is the way to go .
