Check out this brief montage of constructing our previously printed air intakes in metal. Some people like the aesthetics of metal better, and while 3d printing is getting better by leaps and bounds there are still some areas in which metals will outperform 3d printed parts.

New Products Available
TunedMercedes has just announced two new products, a jackstand printed in PC. Perhaps more interesting for MB Performance DIY a MAP Sensor mount. This connects to an air filter to eliminate unfortunate CEL or for the construction of a new air intake.
Air Inlets Available
We have our TunedMercedes air inlets for cls and e class available here. These are an alternative to spool, kyostar, and VRP. Take a closer look below or buy here
Statement on Inventory and Emissions Controlled Parts
The Calimafde LLC which operates the TunedMercedes offer manufactures all products locally and offers other manufactures goods drop shipped directly from the manufactures. We do not maintain an inventory of others products. We do not sell any downpipes in the state of MD, NY, or CA. Catted downpipes are available […]
piggyback jb4 vs remap vs standalone ecu tuning
one thing to note is that if a car is very new and the ecu unlock solution isn’t out yet piggyback tuning may be the first option available to tune. some have opined that in a world where manufacturers lock out access to ecu and computers that piggy back tuning […]
How to Discern if Your car was Previously Tuned
One question I have seen a few times today is about how to tell if your car was previously tuned. There is a way to do this which involves an actual read of the ECU (not virtual read) and then matching this against known factory software, for example in ecm […]
Some Results of our Calibrations
we have a couple of results a few clients shared this weekend of our calibrations. first is a dyno from a stage 1 cls550 second is a video of race presumed in mexico
Why Cold Air Intakes Fail to Deliver More Power
The difference in oxygen density between 70 and 100 F is .07 kg/m3 The difference in volume delivery between a 3″ and 4″ diameter tube is nearly double. Additionally, the length of tubing decreases volume of flow according to Cullen and Koss. Therefore a shorter tubing intake with greater […]
Why Open Air Intakes Work on Boosted Cars
The old adage of trying to get cold air no matter how long the piping and how many curves takes a back seat to direct flow with greater filtration ability when you are working with boosted and intercooled cars. https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCzRMSYaXLkSqofiVN9PPm6w
Thoughts on 3D printing versus carbon fiber and AI in ICE
3D printing improves by leaps and bounds. While still lagging behind cast and milled metal and carbon fiber eventually these gaps are going to be very narrow across the board. 3D printing allows the creation of items in ways which traditional manufacturing is unable to replicate and therefore we may […]
Air Intake Codes Eliminated Free Updates for Existing Clients
p1ce7, p1ce6, p1ce8 are just some of the codes some other aftermarket air intakes will throw. This is often due to the vacuum pressure being lower than anticipated at WOT. While these codes are generally harmless and just indicate some values are outside of what the ECU thinks they should […]
New Generation of MB V12?!
MB is rumored to confirm the V12 engine will stay in production which likely implies a new generation of V12 based on two M256 inline 6.
Map Sensor Extenders Available
We have Mercedes Map Sensor Extenders similar to A 278 150 60 20 available for $10 each. We use these for our own air intakes and offer them to others to use as well at a good price.
CLS63 vs M550i
A little roll race possibly in mexico of a CLS63 versus an M550i.
Daxlifter Scissor Lift
Just got a Dax machinery Dax Lifter mid-rise scissor lift in. We anticipate this being used for brakes, transmission fluid changes, oil changes, and in the future to be paired with a hub dyno.
