BryanJ

Why do the part numbers differ on parts.com and oediscount?

oediscount part numbers are 1560940506 and 1560940606

vs

parts.com part numbers 1560940306 and 1560940406

should I not be concerned and order the ones from parts.com as they are cheaper?

skratch77

I can confirm the part numbers ending in 306 and 406 from parts.com are row air boxes

Thanks Skratch

Just ordered these parts. Thanks!

BryanJ

Parts came in today from parts.com

My guess is that they 'belong' on different cars with the same motor - the 306 and 406 are coded as a "CLK63" while the 506 and 606 could be for a different car, but the same 63 family.

skratch77

Yes guys I did some research and found out the clk63 that was sold in the USA had row boxes so I just ordered stock clk63 airboxes from parts.com

Naverino

Do the boxes from parts.com come with the Sensors as well included?

skratch77

Yes

People don't know how to properly clean, oil and close the boxes with K&N. I and many others have had K&N and NEVER had an issue. A few people having issues doesn't mean there is a widespread problem.

K&N is well made and manufactured when examining comparable filters up close.

BLKROKT

Never had a problem with K&N in 20yrs of using them. Just don't over-oil it.

skratch77

I ran them in my e55 and actually just got a set for my c63 and sometimes they come completly drenched in oil from k&n

I will run them but its common in the Tuning industry to not use oil based filters on cars that use air flow meters.

I mean every tuner from kleemann to renntech uses a dry filter on our cars.

U.S. version of CLK63BS did not come with ROW air boxes.

skratch77

Well what ever year clk63 non or reg bs the part numbers come up with row boxes

xxaarraa

That in itself should tell you something - reputable tuners not using K&Ns.

Completely unrelated, or maybe not. I used to run K&N oil filters in my race bikes for years. Till recently, when I started having oil pressure issues on more than one bike. I dug in, and most of the guys on the grid had moved away from K&N for manufacturing quality related issues like that in recent times. I jotted it down to a general decline in K&N quality and moved on.

Does any one know if parts.com ships to Canada? Tried to order CLK 63 ROW air boxes but no go.

Mazspeed

I'm ordering up the ROW air boxes this week. I take it from parts.com they will come with everything needed?
Will I get errors in the computer? I have a V5 tune for the car now, but is there another tune specifically for the use of the ROW boxes? Thanks guys.

BLKROKT

No, you're fine. Plug and play.

ritalin

I bought from ecs tuning last year. They ship to canada. To avoid brokerage use the usps option if you do purchase through them.

jd_hinks

Just checked. A little pricey way more then parts.com than for the info tho.

Few questions:

Are people are seeing 15-20rwhp gains from the ROW Boxes with AFE dry filters?
I'm assuming no tune is needed for a bone stock car (like me)?
Any negative side effects to doing the ROW boxes?

Lastly, would the stock filters fit the ROW boxes or AFE must be used?

BLKROKT

I think Kriston has a thread with the ROW dyno results. 10whp maybe?
No tune needed
No negative effects whatsoever
Yes, you can use the OE paper filters or aFe or K&N or BMC or whatever - they all fit. I like the aFe Pro Dry S filters.

Mazspeed

Ok, got the 2 ROW boxes in my checkout. Is there anything else I need before I hit "buy now"? Filters?
