Review: Great replacement for MB W212 M157 air intake tubes - If you have a W212 E class with a M157 engine, you've no doubt stared in disbelief that MB has put flimsy fabric tubes under the hood, now torn in a bunch of places thanks to the simple act of trying to get your oil filter out. Well, I'm happy to say that this plastic tube and couplers are pretty much a prefect fit to the OEM plastic connector pieces and a great replacement. Not only is this a fraction of the price of an OEM replacement that will probably rip in another couple years or so, it looks 1000x better. As others have noted, due to the terrible packaging, one of the couplers will arrive squashed and deformed. No worries, either pop it in a 300 degree oven for a few minutes, or run your heat gun over it for a bit and it will not only pop back to a circular shape, but also become pliable enough to slide over the OEM plastic coupler pieces. As it cools, it'll mold nicely to the plastic. It was such a tight fit that I didn't even bother gluing it down or clamping it. I think I spent more time and effort tearing out the old fabric tube off of the OEM connectors than actually molding and putting the new coupler and tubes on it. You'll need one set for each side, although I only used about half of the length of tubing. I've seen pictures of what others have done and it looks great, but I hesitated for a while before buying this, wondering if I could replicate similar results since I don't have bodywork experience or tuning experience or anything of that caliber. But really, all you need is an oven (or heat gun), some needle nose pliers to help remove the old fabric tubing pieces off of the plastic couplers, and scissors and in about 30 minutes, you'll have replaced your torn fabric tubes with these plastic parts that look factory. One big worry was how it would perform in a hot engine bay... wondering if the plastic duct would melt, deform, come apart, or somehow jam up the air intake. I've now had this in my car for about 6 months with combination of boring daily commutes and the occasional spirited driving, and haven't noticed any performance deterioration, even under wide open throttle with that tubocharged V8 sucking in air like crazy. Car performs and drives like before. Of course, not surprisingly, haven't noticed any performance improvement either. Review: Spectre Performance 8741 Black 3" Air Duct Hose, Perfect for Cold Air Intake - Last winter I had an ASE shop rebuild my 2.3 Lt. engine for my 1986 Ranger- 3 months later every ring was broke, I got into it myself, ported and polished the intake and head added a few nice extras.

This section of High Quality Duct gives the Helix Mixer Throttle plate and High Performance Header the cold air intake ,and it does the job very well,and aids in my 30+ Mpg and 120 HP(11 to 1 CR)- , all the needed parts are clamps . I live 90 miles from town and it's a joy to drive this little beast to town for my once a month shopping- Thanks Again desertcart for the Best parts for any of my trucks and other ranch equipment ## Features - Attach directly to any airbox inlet, plenum, intake tube or mounting plate with a 3" O.D. to bring cold air into the engine - Memory-flex design helps retain its position and bends - Kit includes 28 inches of ducting and two threaded PVC couplers - Thread multiple pieces together for longer applications - Replacement threaded coupler - P/N 87411 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BPZ55Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #356,242 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #19 in Automotive Performance Emission Systems #107 in Automotive Replacement Emission Vacuum Tee Connectors #178 in Automotive Performance Filters | | Brand | Spectre | | Brand Name | Spectre | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 915 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00089601874104 | | Included Components | AIRDUCT HOSE BK | | Item Dimensions L x W | 28"L x 3.75"W | | Item Length | 28 inches | | Item Type Name | AIRDUCT HOSE BK | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Manufacturer | Spectre | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 Months | | Material | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Material Type | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Nominal Wall Thickness | 0.125 inches | | Outside Diameter | 3 inches | | Product Dimensions | 28"L x 3.75"W | | UPC | 089601874104 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Spectre - **Color:** Blue - **Item Length:** 28 inches - **Item Weight:** 0.27 g - **Manufacturer:** Spectre - **Material:** Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - **Nominal Wall Thickness:** 0.125 inches - **Outside Diameter:** 3 inches - **Product Dimensions:** 28"L x 3.75"W - **UPC:** 089601874104 ## Images ![Performance 8741 Black 3" Air Duct Hose - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iPCS4STSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it ok to use this hose with a turbo car? or it will bent with boost?** A: This is something that you need to custom fit into any car you use it with, it will not fit flush in any model specifically **Q: I would like to use this on the intake side of a turbo.
