changed filters, 1st time in a while, i'm embarrassed

wow, hadn't changed my filters on my c32 in a while. hadn't really thought much about her, since i ordered my C63. the leaves and cigarettes were from only one side, i vacuumed out the other which had more leaves, and the filters are a disgrace.

I'm embarrassed, and deserve ridicule.

can't believe i let my K and N's get that dirty.

WOW! is right. You should do serious time in prison, some community service or I don't know what, but you should feel terrible for neglecting your car like that. How well did it run? or how poorly I should say?

I get the impression that you've learned a lesson.
Just remember, it takes some of of us 3 or 4 times to learn!

LOL....damn and I thought MY k&n's were dirty...I cleaned them out after 1/2 a year and had a buncha dust/dirt and a couple dead bugs that were decomposing inside that made it look like top soil coming out of my filters when I cleaned them but they weren't THAT bad!

I actually did notice a difference though...the motor sounded a bit louder and maybe, just maybe, a smidge quicker.

The engine does seem a little throatier since I put the new ones in. And maybe i'm crazy, but it seems a little faster. I do have snows on right now, riding the original 17" wheels, so the whole car sounds loud right now. But i'm glad i finally changed them.

Getting the new ubber C63 in three days from Germany.................holy sh*t i can't wait.
