NEW C32AMG OWNER, MEMBER

Hello,

I am picking up my first MB. an 03 c32AMG. I relaced an 06 volvo s60r fairly modded.

I want to do the usual stuff such as intake, filters, perhaps ecu tune and perhaps a SC pully etc etc.

What is the concensus here on the filters. K&N... green,, BMC .

Looking forward to the world of MB

PEF

I'd stay away from Green....many people here have had it fall apart on them. End result being driving around with non-filtered air going through without you knowing.

Oh, and welcome to the forum, Congrats on the car!

I would say stick with K&N becuase greens have been known to have problems ripping apart.

welcome. i might suggest just enjoy the power of the car for a while before doing mods. many options available and it takes a while to find the best for your style of driving. the stock motor can be a handful! no need to rush!
