Welcome, haven't seen any intake systems for the m56.

This is one member who did a lot of good stuff to his m56, might want to look into some of these things for your m56.

Might wont to do a search on Google and other sites t look for intakes as well.

Although CAI's look incredibly sexy, they do almost nothing to change performance. That has been proven time and time again. "possibly' 5-10 bhp which isn't worth the price. Also consider that the plastic contraption at the front of the air induction system was designed by engineers specifically to maximize performance and work perfectly with the tune from the factory. Not to mention, that contraption gets the air at the farthest point from the engine, ensuring it already DOES suck the coldest air.

Get some HPS Intake Tubes and leave the boxes alone if you must have an intake. Nothing else for this car.

For a stock tune, the HPS silicone intake hoses and a drop in performance air filter like K&N or AEM Dryflow are the best bets for intake mods. To my knowledge, there are no aftermarket CAI's for the VK56VD engine. The drawback to engine bay mounted CAI's is the issue of its effect on intake air temps. On the M37/56, the air is drawn through the front grille, where the air is the coolest. Air drawn into the throttle body from the engine bay is hotter, which in turn, causes the timing to back down, plus hotter intake air is less dense = less power = less performance. Also, there are differences of opinion on whether or not performance filters really make a difference; if anything, some folks saw a slight decrease in performance vs the OEM paper filters.

On a side note, it's worth mentioning that Dodge uses cold air from the A/C system to cool the intake air via a diverter valve on the Hellcat engine...now that would be a mod worth looking at

Using A/C air is a great idea lol.
