I think most of the guys up your way are in Vancouver. Check out the C63 board--there's tons of them.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say everyone who is into performance mods for AMG's is using hi-flow filters. Keep the filters they are miles beyond better than stock OEM filters. You will literally loose about 10hp and 10tq If you take them out and go back to stock. Tell your master tech friend with all due respect he's wrong.

this is only if they are way to over oiled and are not given the proper time to dry before being placed back into your car. And it is the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor.

I say go with the stock filters :x
I dont' have the link, but there are more than enough tests showing that they let a lot more air through.... but they also let a lot more stuff through that you don't want going into your engine either...

Welcome to the board. Nice car, I especially like the wood. Definately research the boards for performance mods. I had the K&N's on my C43 for years and never killed the MAF. I have had the Green filters on my C55 for more than 2 years and the MAF is fine. Just don't over oil when cleaning and keep the OE filters on hand to use while your K&N or Green filters dry for at least 24 hrs. You can also clean the MAF with electrical parts cleaner from Radio Shack. Don't let the mod bug bite you too hard.
