I finally was able to get the correct green filters (part #2295 and i hear 2240 works) and was able to install my clk55 airbox...some key things u shud know when installing it that i had a lil bita truble with:

force is key for this install lol....u need to pull to remove the old one...u need to push down when putting on the new one ..make sure the brackets attach onto the little circular rubber things...i was literally punching the airbox to make sure it was on tight onto the "nipples" as freddy liked to call em lol....

also...note that the left hose goes into the slot by the grille, while the right hose goes over the slot next to the grille...took me a lil bit to realize that lol

make sure u have some tin snips or something to make the amendment needed as you can see in the last pic

o ya and if ur changing the filters...u mite have sum truble making sure the screws are in all the way...make sure ur putting good weight down and screwing at the same time to make for a tight seal so air doesnt leak out...

heres some pics..:

Awesome pretty nice and very eazy to do, now your engine bay looks 100% better.

deyainrdy4ds

lol good looks and thanks for the help man

jalberto

So how does the car perform now that you made the change in the airbox?

Feel the difference?

Great Pics

The Jury

Looks like a plain jane hunk of plastic. The 430 cover looked better, but the real question is............. any noticeable difference?

None of these airboxes make any sense to me. Putting them over a hot engine and making them force warm air into the intake doesn't make sense at all. I've considered making one that runs along each side with a heat shield.

CurYousGee

looks great, report back on the gains!

clkal

the 430 cover looks better? LOL.

I guess a 25-30HP gain doesn't justify the "plain jane hunk of plastic" look, huh?

The Jury

Correct.

Hence my question, you're 2 for 2.

clkal

I guess someone who drives a bone-stock, non-amg model car can't appreciate the beauty of the AMG airbox..... oh well..... to each his own.

deyainrdy4ds

hey..im pretty sure i do feel the difference...especially at wide open throttle....i was also finally able to set my wheels loose...but its kinda wet out so i gotta wait for it to dry up to be able ta say that ....but it does also feel more responsive and sound slightly better

THE JURY-
i agree that the 430 box looks better...but power over looks...sorry homie..the AMG box still looks pretty nice...

The Jury

No, I just don't have my head up my *** taking cheap shots at everything non AMG. That's called little ***** syndrome. So now that we all know you can straggle a lifesaver without breaking it, we await more of your condescending, badge whoring, remarks about how awesome how some flat black solid plain piece of plastic is the holy grail because it has your almighty shrine stuck to it.

I have a highly modded Porsche 951 Turbo that'll make that overweight little piggy of yours look like it's driving in reverse, and Lexus that rides quieter over railroad tracks than that double nickel does on fresh pavement.

So you can sit on your badge and worship your discontinued, out of production, overweight piggy "sports coupe" all you want and it will not do anything but provide hours of entertainment for everyone else that owns multiple cars and knows the truth of the matter.

There is nothing wrong with an AMG CLK55, but the idiocy of badge whoring and looking down on someone else's car with your snide attitude acting "HOOD RICH" with your discontinued vehicle is laughable.

The majority of 55 owners are damn good people who respect everyone's vehicles, then there's...... you. Over there worshiping your badge and putting others down.

Feel free to respond all you want, I'm not wasting my night on any more badge whoring ignorance. Nor tomorrow. It's not about the 55, it's all about YOU.

I'll make you a deal though...... Lose 1500 lbs and put 200 more RWHP to the wheels and I'll give you a shot at this sometime.

The Jury

If you like it brother, rock it. As long as it performs that's all that matters. Like we agree, it is not the more attractive of the two for sure. Props on a successful mod.

clkal

wow. you impress me. all you can do is call my car an out of production car, and then post up a pic of a 30 year old VW. LOL.

This isn't about who has more cars. This is about an extremely tasteful mod that another member decided to share and take pics of. This mod has been done by several members who have already posted their dynos, before and after. It is a proven 25-30HP gain.

Now ask anybody who thinks the plastic cover is "plain-jane"..... I don't think you'll get too many people to back you up on your opinion.

So if you want to continue posting pics up of 30 year old cars, be my guest. I don't think you want to go there. Members who know me personally in this forum know what I own.........but I'll give you a little taste of another over-weight TWIN TURBO'ED sports coupe I picked up last month =)

You have been a total waste of my time. I'm done with you and your 200 post count.

The Jury

WOW! Your ***** is even smaller than I thought!

G'day all

jalberto

Thanks for the insight! That is good enough feedback for me.

Need your help...where did you buy the airbox and how much? Do you have the specific part numbers? So in the end Green filters #2295 and 2240 are the same? Sorry for all the questions...also a newbie.

want to get this mod ASAP

clkal

check out the W208/209, W210, and W203 AMG forums first because there is always somebody selling a "55 airbox." All 4 of these model cars share the same airbox which will bolt right onto your car as long as you own a V8. You will just need to buy the 2 hoses and connectors.

if you don't find anything in those 4 forums, then browse the classifieds as well.

good luck =)

i got the airbox,cover,hoses etc from a friend that works for mercedes, but www.oempartsdirect.com has a price of only about $40 or so higher than what i paid total should be around $470 or something...heres the part numbers:

1. Air Cleaner p# 113-090-01-01
2. Hose p# 113-090-03-82
3. Hose p# 113-090-02-82
4. Cover Plate 113-010-05-67
5. 4 Brackets 112-094-00-41 (i didnt need these because there were brackets already on the airbox but some people mention them when they mention the necessary parts for the airbox for some reason)

Green filters - i used 2295 and they fit fine...people say 2240 work fine too...do not try any other part numbers though as theres some confusion about the correct one...i personally know 2295 fits...ppl have also said 2240 but thats up to you...only site i found the correct ones for a good price was www.morethantires.com...

jalberto

thanks for the part numbers...i finally got the correct ones!

Just ordered the 55 intake and found it to be cheaper on Duval Motorcars. I paid 425+ tax.

o wow thas wassup..i think that may even be less than what i paid strate from benz lol...good ****....good luck on the install

So, is this 25 HP for real or just a guess-timate that's been going around. The reason I ask is that I am about to buy one and need to know if thegain is for real.

How much of a gain will I get with my new Eisenmann race exhaust I just installed?

deyainrdy4ds

i believe ppl have dyno sheets proving the gain of about 15-20 HP...i think 25 is prob an exaggeration...i would recommend it tho because i DO feel a difference and im still waiting for the ECU to completely adjust to the increased air flow..
the eisenmann is supposed to be around a 5% increase but i dont think i felt much of a difference after installing mine...it may be like 5 hp if anything...and i dont think anyone has this on dyno (b4 and after)....however..i stillllll recommend it cuz i jus luv that sounddd...

gregory13lil

Were you one of the guys I shipped the exhaust to from Germany with the Group Buy?

deyainrdy4ds

who me? na y?

gregory13lil

Oh ok...I was just wondering if you were in on the Eisenmann GB we had going a while ago. No biggie!!
