SLK55 Airbox/Intake Tubes fit C55?
Does anyone know if the Airbox or Intake Tubes from the SLK55 fit the C55?

The intake tubes are noticeably larger.

get the kevlar intake tubes of the clk350/550 they're much larger and made of kevlar so they dont heat up as much...

I'm surprised they made them larger? Didn't the SLK55 have slightly less hp?

Doesn't look any bigger to me, plus it looks specific to the frame. It may not fit as easy as you think

They look larger at the main curve before the flex pipe. The C55 ones get smaller at this point.

Not many parts made for something else and putting on a different item will work perfect.

If you secure the tubes with a clamp, the CLK350 tubes work fine. Others have stated they fit fine as well without the clamps.

true they are not made for the c55 airbox so they dont fit "flawlessly" however from everyone I've talked to who owns them, they fit just fine...
