K&N air filter $39.99??? to good to be true???

I just called AutoZone and was told for a 2005 C55 AMG K&N airfilter is only $39.99 each!? Part Number 33-2181 I couldn't believe the price was so low i thought it was an error and made the person at AutoZone read the part number and car info back to me 3 times. Is this what they are going for these days? I payed $52 each for K&N's for my 2001 S500. I told the lady this seems to good to be true and Was assured that it was the right part for my app. I have to go down there and order them and they will be in in 2 days.

hey there hooleyboy,

Well, in about 3 minutes surfing the 'net, I googled this and was able to find C55 K&N filters for $38.50 each (and with free ground shipping) from autoanything.com - you might be able to find even cheaper, if you keep digging. The internet is definitely your friend, when it comes to searching for this type of stuff... good luck!

I paid $40 each on my C32, 2 weeks ago.

The E55 were $49 each.

just picked my K&N's up at checker auto for $37.99 each. that air filter restriction test they had there was cool to see how much a paper filter blocks air flow and how much air flow K&N filters allow.
