Hi all,

Looking for OEM pre-facelift intake hoses in new or good condition. Let me know if any leads.

Many thanks,

Lantz
 
Thanks for the tip, Maw. Will investigate further. Have had a set of m117 tubes installed as a temporary measure but am a sucker for originality.

Thanks - Lantz
 
If I recall correctly, the Porsche Program Manager of the 500 E stated in one of of the two Porsche 30 year 500 E videos that Mercedes made Porsche change the intake tubes to include sound dampening as they were deemed too noisy by MB. So you're current setup is as Porsche had originally intended it :)

If you really, really need the original tubes I might sell a set. Will be in Germany starting Sept 8 and could ship them from Germany which would save you the U.S. shipping cost.

Yes, I really enjoy the louder ones! ;)

@Lantz,
If I were you I would look for the later updated plastic + foam intake tubes from 93 or 94 up. They look much neater.

lol
