K&N Air Filter(s) for the C63 (6.2L V8) is/are Out!
Just to let you guys know the K&N air filters (#33-2405 per K&N web site) are out for the 6.2L V8 engine. It is my understanding that TWO are required for the installation. Please spare me the BS about the oil from the filter getting on the mass air or what ever it has. In the past having sold thousands of K&N air filters world wide, (was in the after market for 10 years) that problem was from people getting way to excited about applying the oil after a cleaning. Nothing more, nothing less.
Anyway, the filters are out for what ever thats worth.

10 years in the after market adds up to squat.Mercedes has been in the car business for over a hundred years that still did not prevent them from coming up with so called lifetime transmission fluid.That failed before 100k miles.
OEM paper filter flows more air,cleaner air,and no issue.

Yup
if you install a k/n and then stick in halo plugs and add some laser wires,mix well with a spoon .Toss in little bit of sprintbooster, sprinkle on a teaspoon of the reptile oil(sold only at the gullible store)
From my understanding it adds up to about Well actually it adds up to nothing.
I love the sprintbooster claim that the car feels quicker
Last time I won a race in a car because it felt quicker the other guy staged to deep and fell asleep before I moved into the beam

to come out in full force.Well I don't know what the HP thing is all about. I had nothing in my post about K&N's horse power numbers. If you are a slow reader, try the R.I.F. program. As for the years in the after market not adding up to squat, after you sell tens of thousands of filters you can get a good idea if a product works or not. If a person is a moron and can't use the product correctly, sorry. In over 25 years of use in over 15+ new cars / trucks / I have owned and several race cars I have never had a problem with K&N products.
All I said is the product is out on the market and I have good luck with it. If you don't like it don't F**KING use it, I don't really give a S#!T!!!!
Thats all I have to say on that.

Honestly, in some other cars with intake systems not desinged as well as MB, changing filters may help. I have seen numbers to prove both sides. I'm still not convinced that they are a better filter.
Also, the argument that race cars use them dosen't mean they make a good application for street use. Race cars are rebuilt much more often, and longevity over an extended period of time +100K miles isn't a consideration.

20+ to list......
I just know after I'd installed those K&N filters on my SLK, the car's response is instant. Mind you, I picked up the car the same day I installed the filters, so I know right away what works or not. Not to mention, better fuel mileage, avg highway is 23.8 MPG.

To the
contrary.It is the K/N cult that are the air filter cry babies
Google k/n or kand n or air filters and see who comes out the most often singing the tune of "hey guys look at what just came out and I (in my gullible stupidity) installed." Then they go on with the cry of "my butt dyno tells me the car is much quicker"(because it is louder)Usually the guys with the butt dynos are the ones that lose the race to the other guyThen they end with their "concern for the quality of the air passing through the filter"
In contrast we can't ferret out all you gullababies and when we do get to one,it always ends the same way
"All I said is the product is out on the market and I have good luck with it. If you don't like it don't F**KING use it, I don't really give a S#!T!!!!"
Which somehow always forgets to mention the original posters comments of how long they have been using them,and if anyone had problems it was there own fault for using to much oil,how much air they flow(see the real results above)
and how they know because they just picked up their car from the shop(usually because they are to incompetent to change their own air filters)
With an Adieu they almost always end their tirade with
"Thats all I have to say on that"
which most often means they will be back for more once they can catch their breath and gather their wits
ohlord
BTW Magnehelic Gauges measure air pressure not air flow and if you believe one clean paper filter and one clean K/N filter have different air pressure after the filter and that K/N somehow increased it,then buddy I have a bridge in NYC that needs to be sold.Please bring cash.

Guess again, mag gauges do not measure 'air pressure' they measure differential pressure -- 'big difference'. K&N (as is Green, AEM and a few others) is a less restrictive filter than any OE cellulose filter period and it flows more air compared to cellulose filter. What business are you in? Politics? Cause your facts are thrown around like it.

Just remove the charcoal filters and leave the stock filters. Don't waste your money on ohter filters and ****.
REMOVE THE CHARCOAL FILTERS and you will free up a good chunk of power.
