i got it from the dealer, i have a wholesale account with them so i got it for $225, the clk500 air hoses fit on the amg air box, but i bought some for 11 dollars each just in case they didn't. the whole air intake setup is $419 regularly, but i guess that depens on which dealer you got to bc the other dealer i called was charging 80 dollars more

i think its an AMG box. Theres a little square in in the middle where an AMG engine would have a plaque (with the engine builders name).

The '04 CLK55 AMG and CLK500 air boxes do look very similar, except of course the difference in plastic color and the AMG badges.
I believe they are almost identical in terms of air volume and box size. In fact the K&N Part number is the same for the CLK55 and CLK500.
If they are indeed the same, and end up flowing the same amount of air, at the very least you've improved on the look of your engine bay with a brand new AMG air box, which looks great in that color!

i really didn't do it for the look, i wanted more air flow. so no difference at all for 500 and all amg intakes?
It looks like you have an authentic '04 W209 CLK55 AMG air box, because mine looks exactly like that one, down to the AMG badges. Except of course, the "signature" box on my airbox has the metal stamp with the tech's signature.
