how mang hp increase for using k&N air filter?

Cheers!

K&N filters offer psychological horsepower gains. They do not actually offer substantive changes in power. The former is a potent effect and should not be discounted whatsoever.

A search on this website will reveal a very, very disparate set of opinions on this topic.

I just fitted some to my SL55, can't feel any difference except aching back.
At least they wont need changing again.

yeah but you gotta clean em. just because they last 100k miles doesnt mean you run them for 100k, you gotta wash em every now and again...

As I just fitted them I think I will be selling the car before they need cleaning.

MRAMG1

Yeah, every 30-40K that is

I can't see that being a big deal, but maybe its just me

See yeah

PS: I use them, love them, and have them in everycar I have EVER owned for the past 20 some years now.

Did you always take em out when you sold the cars?

Oh...where is GlockGuru?

Sincity

20 years ago, no. But nowadays, with forums and Ebay, it is easier reselling performance parts/accessories.

I really want to believe that the AMG filters offer the same (if not better) performance that K&N does.

MRAMG1

Quit beleiving, they DON'T my friend. I have NEVER heard of ANY car making more power on stock filters, and that includes ANY AMG. They work, are cheap, and you NEVER have to replace them. Best of both worlds, IMHO.

See yeah

LOL. Going to get my C63 this morning. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I will get on the forum when I get back to Baton Rouge from New Orleans. BTW I guess I will get some K&N filters at the local hardware store on the way home.

Don't they stock them at the Super Wal-Mart in The South?

Glock Guru

No, the Super Wal-mart got looted during the huricane.

BTW, got the car, love it, I will get some pic today and post.

K&N ftw

YES, there are countless threads on ALL the AMG forums that showed GREENS, and K/N's made more power, and were quicker at the drag. People its NOT rocket science here, they flow MORE air, easier, so they make MORE power. Yes keep in mind that this easier flowing air comes at a price, and that is they DON'T trap really fine dirt particles as well, atleast that is the anti hipe on them. IMHO it just doesn't matter becuse the level of dirt in question is TOO small to hurt anything. Oh well, here we go again I'm sure with more debate. Just let me say that I have never seen any problems with any engine, MAF, or ANY other part in my 20 some years of K/N use, for what its worth.

See yeah

Oh yeah, I am not connected with K/N in ANY way, nor have I EVER been, just my leagal disclaimer
