2002 CLK430
C55 air box
An AMG air box is a popular performance upgrade for the 430 engine. Has anyone put an air box/engine cover from a 2005-07 C55 on a W208 CLK430?
They look great, and both the 430 and the AMG55 are the same engine family (M113). Are there any significant fit issues?

From what I understand the airbox from the clk55 with bolt right on with only a slight modification needed to clear the oil filter housing cap. Also I think the average gain is around 10hp to the wheels. Recommend using green filters if possible. Do you have anything else done to your car?

I've never seen a w203 box used. Can't say for sure if it would fit or not. The 208 CLK55 box is a direct fit except for a tiny piece at the right front that needs to be cut/dremeled down a tiny bit.
