either that, or , if you are made of money, you can get like a Renntech carbon fiber airbox... but that costs thousands...

there really isn't much available on the market now for our cars... its a limited production vehicle, and not many owners mod their CLKs...

Are these all universal fit? Have you gotten any HP gains?

Universal in a sense that BMC has specific part #s for engine displacement size...on the Superflow dyno gains were 5-6RWHP using a single cell air blower...at frwy speeds no quantified #s but definitely pulls harder. Also, my MAF has gone bad twice, not sure what the culprit was.

The CLK55 airbox doesn't flow any better than the stock 430 airbox, so a grand is quite a bit to pay just for looks. Then again, the RennTech one isn't much better either so their c/f one is an even bigger rip off...

It is the same as renntech without carbon fibre, u can try it just return it back if no gain I will give refund, I might put it on the garage wall it looks good. AMG intake has bigger airflow in a right way but u need powerchip or renntech ECU to take advantage of it.

used only 100 miles, renntech superchager has different airbox so this one has no use. $750 final price. I will use it as my sea turtle new house if no one buy it

$750 is a little steep for me for an airbox... but, lets talk...
