Like the tittle said...the E55/E63 guys always did that and gained around 20 HP!

Did C63 had that kind of filter??

Thank's

It should,all other 6.2l engines have em...pop off your intake shroud,find a set of Torx bits(T5 I think?)and off with the air filter covers.You will c the charcoals inside the plastic air filter assembly;slide them out gently to avoid cracking the delicate plastic holding them in place

What is the purpose of these filters?

Seems odd AMG would put something on its high-performance engine that would limit HP. There must be a reason.

Just asking the question....

for the same reason your car has a performance limiting catalytic converter. emission control.

so if i got a high flowing air filter than i could just replace the stock filter with the high flowing one and also remove the charcoal filters? or are the charcoal filters the stock ones. kinda confused.

Here is the thread showing +18whp gain on the world's highest dynoing CLS63 yet There's instructions and pictures at the bottom of the thread as well as dyno sheets.

That's what I am looking for...it's on CLS Thread I guess..haha..Thank's

Actually, we have one in the CLS section, one in the E55/E63 section, one in CL55/63 section, and now one in the C63 section

So pretty much there are 2 separate air filters in the intake system. I got VRPs upgraded air filters so I should remove the larger air filter and replace that one with the VRPs. Then I should remove the charcoal filters completely from the intake system.

Correct?

MB_Forever

Yes. The charcoal filters are only for emission purposes and they seem to just restrict air flow. Most of the European models don't even come with those charcoal filters. However, keep in mind that NOT ALL 63 models showed 20 hp gain by removing the filters. Some models showed +3 hp, some showed +5, other showed +10, while only 2 members shwoed +20 hp. It seems to be different from engine to engine and probably engine software version as well.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have to take my car in for the 1000 mile service next Monday so I'm just going to have the head-tech install the VRP filters for me and take out the charcoal ones. He is a car junkie too so I trust him.

Where did you get your VRP Filters ?
