Has any run a dyno before/after changing to aftermarket airfilters?

has anyone actually tested to see if the K & N, or other filters actually changed the Hp on the C63?

Also, after doing searches, it appears everyone seems to get these filters. I got them for my C32, and I'd like to think there was a difference.

Do you guys really think there is a difference after you install them? my searches have found that people claim their car shifts slightly smoother.

Anything else?

Here you go, bud: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204/263474-k-n-drop-dyno.html

There was also another thread comparing mpg pre-and post-filter. The gas mileage improved.

I couldn't really tell much difference in power(it doesn't mean I haven't gained HP/lb-tq) but what I can confirm is that I gained 1.5-2mpg better gas mileage with K&N plus the charcoal filters removed.
How do I know this?, well, I did a 600 mile round trip on stock filters and average around 22mpg, I them installed a set of K&N and did a 2000 mile round trip and my gas mileage was in the high 23mpg-24mpg, for sure a gas mileage improvement.

.
IIRC, the gain was 5 HP which you are not going to feel unless you have a very sensitive butt.
