Autozone and Advance Auto usually carry alot of K&N filters. Easiest way is just call them up and they can lookup your car in the system to see if they have it in stock. Also search the web, I think there was an Autozone 20% friends and family coupon circulating for now-july4th

Any airflow improvement usually equates to a horsepower increase although i would guess that K&Ns arent going to do anything that you or I would notice.

Yes way. The part number is: 33-2181 and I bought 4 of them at $37.99 a piece, at the time I bought them it was buy one get one that weekend so the bill was even lower.

Regular cost: 38*2= $76.

On the web you can find these for about $42-46 a piece free shipping if you don't want to bother going to the store.

Looking at the stock set of filters , I have a hard time believing they improve anything other than longevity of performance. Keep the stock filters clean and you won't have any difference in performance IMO.

They're so oversized and redundant (2 oversized filters ... one I'd bet would do the trick fine with larger intake tube)

I took mine out and blasted them clean with compressed air.

What you'll lose is the level of safety you get with factory filtration.

Try my simple mod and I'll bet you get more of a performance upgrade. https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...t-results.html

If you do the intake tube on superchargers, make sure the intake is on the front side of the radiator. If not, its sucking hot air which equals power loss.

I'm using the stock set up with the intakes just behind the grill. Definitely drawing cooler air then the engine compartment air.

Interesting. I wonder how much cooler the air is, this may be something to try out. Innovative Pete!
