6 years later brother in Christ you have saved me
Watching this in 2024. I can’t thank you enough for making your tutorials easy to follow. So far, I’ve installed this BMS intake, the same dual outlet exhaust setup, chrome delete all the way around, blacked out hood emblem, installed the black grill your wife installed, illuminated grill emblem, black led side markers, sequential turn signals…I’m sure I’m missing some installs but this is what I can remember off the top of my head. Next up, BOV. I saved your video for that install. I did it all with my long nails too 🤘 oh! I did install aftermarket headlights and taillights. Slightly different but I followed your step by step instructions. Great job on explaining the process for someone that specializes in hair color correction.
This is freaking awesome!!!!
great job. Your attention to detail is very much appreciated. (Mike in Ohio)
Thanks for this video, it helped me a lot!!
To me, with the positioning right next to the engine, it looks like it would be a hot air intake. A K&N stock replacement filter would be better, IMO. That is what I am doing. Just got the filter for my C300 W205. Hope you enjoy yours.
Had trouble installing it but looks great!
Ok thanks, I'm thinking about purchasing it.
Yo what's up flexx, I see on your more recent videos you have your filter covered up again. Did you have issues having the cover off?
Thanks
Greetings, do you have any comments about the idle fluctuation and misfire problem between 1500 and 2500 rpm, especially my reaction to sudden acceleration is slow, and there is shaking, thank you w212 e180 1.6 2015
What a dimension of filter
Do we have to disconnect the battery?
Hey, will that fit my 2013 benz c300 4matic sport???
Doesn’t this mess up the mass flow air sensor
Is this a 4cyl 1796ccm. Petrol driven engine??
Was this the filter style you didn’t like? I thought I seen a video saying that it was pulling to much heat into the motor. Looking for a performance air filter for mine.
Yea this is the one he didn’t like
Am I missing something here? This intake is installed inside the engine bay in an ambient to hot area! How is it going to give any of the benefits gained by a cold area induction??
Yeah. Go watch my other install video that’s more recent. This video is old as dirt.
bonkers lol, true dat
works with c180 1.6t?
Hey flexx! did this increase temps/ pull hot air? I see alot of people saying it pulls hot air and you lose hp

This may be a very silly question, but did you remove the stock filter under the engine cover?
Luke Mouton , not sure what you mean. My c250 only has 1 stock filter and it's inside the big black plastic air filter housing I took off. It's clearly shown as being removed from the engine in the video. It has the k&n sticker on it. The filter is in there.
The new filter looked twisted like it wasn't new. I'd be pissed if it came like that. All bent, twisted, and crushed 🫤 I dunno maybe I'm just picky 🤷🏼♂️
Because I took it off and reinstalled it multiple times before I actually made a video on it.
Does the check engine come on after u installed those filters?
No
That's a hot air intake my dude...
Ash Cosmo lol
I have a stock C240 and thought it needs a panel filter not a cone filter. So We are not doing anything wrong to the engine by buying a cone filter? The websites only say a panel filter fits my car so if I got a cone filter how would I know which to buy? Cheers
You can’t just fit a cone filter. It needs a special adapter like in my video. Cone filters claim more power but I think it just gives a nice suction sound but it could be sucking in a lot of hot air and possibly, possibly lower performance. But I don’t really know cause an intake alone is not really a performance mod. It’s a mod for looks and sound. That’s all. If you don’t plan on major engine mods, you’ll never see the full benefits of a cone or aftermarket intake kit.
@@TheFlexxGarage Where did you buy this adapter ?
@@rajkapoor10053 You can't. It comes as part of the BMS intake kit (Filter and adapter)
Hey flex did you notice any difference in performance between this set up and the tornado running intake?
Open filter = hot air into intake system = slight lag in performance. Stock system and TT intake is about the same cause they are covered filters but the TT gives the car better sound of sucking in air.
You’re never gonna gain huge noticeable performance from an intake. It’s just cool to have but when you go to upgrade more and more engine parts, that’s when the intake will really shine and help get more out of the other mods.
What spec filter will I need for my 1.8 turbo 2012, or is it better to use stock k&n filter...?
Stock KN
Cheers bro
I have a bms intake for my c250 coupe can I recharge the filter with the k&n intake recharge kit from autozone? (Random question)
Of course if the bMs intake you have is legit. Cause a real one has a KN filter.
@@TheFlexxGarage I can’t remember what website I bought it from. I just went to purchase another filter from their website but they don’t ship to California unfortunately. But it literally looks like the one you installed. Mines just pretty dirty and I wanna clean it to be safe
@@TheFlexxGarage it’s from burger motor sports performance
Did you see any difference in terms of performance with k&n filter?
Nominal change. The major difference to be honest is now you have a reusable filter and never have to replace it. You can just clean it and recharge it. Once you start adding more performance mods, then a K&N filter really makes a difference. But not a big difference if your engine is basically stock.
@@TheFlexxGarage Thank you for your answer. So, I think I will stay with my fresh new stock filter. I do not think worth it to change with a k&n filter. If possible make a video with low budget performance mods! In my opinion these cars not worth the hustle to increase performance more than 8-10% of their stock power. Just buy a new better car.
@@TheFlexxGarage hey man i drive a c200 petrol w205 stock 184 bhp did some research on chiptuning so if i combine a chip ,cold air intake and sport exhaust it's in my benifit i think Will increase torq etc
Arent you getting hot air now and by that your losing power???
Yes. It did but I upgraded a bunch of stuff after this mod to cool the air. And I changed to a different air intake later on. Go watch my videos and you’ll see. This video you are commenting on is a super old video when I started my CZcams like 5-6 years ago.
Hi what year car is this e250 and what filter isnit exactly? Is it a a universal one?
2012. Look in the video description.
Would this sound good on my 2016 E250 turbo diesel
mean
When do you need to change this filter?
You don’t change it. You clean and recharge it whenever it gets dirty.
@@TheFlexxGarage thank god
Did u tune your c250 ?
in the process....I already did my cosmetic mods...now onto suspension and engine in a bigger way.
I’m getting a lot of shaking on this same set up specifically on the air filter is this normal
some people reported that. I never had that issue. That's a question for Berger Motorsports.
@@TheFlexxGarage reply thanks for the fast response! I hope you are doing well and we will see more c250 performance updates in the near future 😊
I heard some people just spinning the filter little and then retightening it and the shaking goes away. Worth a shot.
@@TheFlexxGarage thank you brother I will give it a shot 🙏
Where did you get your intake kit at????
I have a stock c240 2003 does this work with it?
any car can have a aftermarket air intake
Does it come with the extension??
Yes. Go to the links in the description. You’ll see.
Would this work a my 2012 c300!?
No. It’s only meant for the c250 1.8l turbo 4 cylinder engine.
That’s a short ram intake it’s going to take it mostly hot air
Exactly!! That's a short ram and not a true CAI setup
Why disconnect the battery?
I do it so I don’t accidentally knock a sensor, or drop a tool and end up shorting some components and getting shocked or starting a fire. It’s for safety reasons to me and to prevent damage to the car.
And if I had to remove a sensor or something electrical, I know no power is flowing through it. Just like why would you change a lightbulb in the house if the power switch is on. You’re asking to get shocked.
Some people say you don’t need to. Well, that’s their method but it’s risky. I rather have peace of mind knowing no power is flowing while I’m tinkering with the car.
Also, (not for this install but for other installs) if you leave the battery connected and you take a sensor or electrical component apart, it will cause an engine fault and you’ll get a check engine light. Then you’re gonna have to deal with clearing that check engine light. One more headache that could of been prevented by spending 1mins to disconnect the negative side of the battery.
Yo dude it s this the c250 with 204hp?
Yes
@@TheFlexxGarage i have the same car in europe but the engine block looks not so similar....2009 it s the year
@@satisfyngjumppie You may have the Diesel version, or have a year after 2015.
Did you get more hp are was it a bust?
I didn’t get it for more Hp. It’s an air intake. It’s more show then performance.
I got it because it sound awesome and it uses a K&N air filter so that’s already way better than having a stock paper filter you have to change ever year.
Is there a cheaper alternative to this filter or ?
You can find just the filter alone for like $50 but you have to find a way to connect it to the intake tube.
Is there a link to just the come ?
