I've been out of the CLK loop for a while, and cant find an index of the MBWorld sponsors. I'm moving ahead with the CLK i mentioned in my last thread (inspection pending). The dealer is replacing the MAF, which went out, and I want to replace the car's K&N filters with Green Filters to keep the oils from the K&N from breaking the new MAF.

1) Where can I find green filters? I know i need 2 filters, Is it just 2 320 filters or are there designated 430 filters?

2) Where do you guys find CLK55 airboxes, how much do they run?

3) Where do you guys find most of your aftermarket parts? Pulleys, brakes, etc? Other must have mods?

Much appreciated.

 

apparently you havent read the bad reviews from the people who use green filters? they break up and fall into the engine is some of what i have read. use the search filter and read for yourself. it sounds like you would be better off with stock filters or just dont oil the k&n's too much

 

Really? Thats surprising. Never heard anything bad about Green filters when i was on the E46 boards.

 

Go with bmc filters k@n filters will destroy your maf sensor after a while

 

Our CLK430 Stage 2 performance kit will be released shortly. PM / Email for more details. Thanks

Interesting stuff. Reminds me of when I had my Audi, a lot of the 12 valve v6 guys had larger throttle bodies, etc. Any eta as to when a large throttle body would be available for the v8? What are the cumulative gains like on these products? I.e. if I did headers and a crank pulley (each quoted at 10-15 hp) what would their combined effect be?

 

The 2001 and later V8s came stock with a larger TB.
