Any good mods for the '06 2.5L airbox?
All this talk of 32, 55, and Renntech boxes has got me pondering what I can do with mine? Any good swaps for this engine? Or- is there anything worth taking the dremel to in my stock box? I haven't really looked at it, aside from blowing the dust out of it when I put the K&N's in.

so, i guess that's why nothing obvious jumped out at me when i had the airbox off a while back. i didn't even see the usual resonator that most car's (not just mercedes) have- that get taken off.

The airbox on the 06-07's is a very efficient design. I have had mine apart several times to clean the filters and housings, and have always been impressed with how well designed it is. The size of the dual tubes, filter housings and filters, are much larger then the single on my Jeep with a 5.2L V8.
