yes you do!
if you want the E55k setup, you'll need...
1. R+L Air Cleaner (airboxes)
2. Y-Section+tubes+bracket
3. Airbox brakets
4. Filter assembly
(I think you might be able to use the stock tubes, or the kevlar tubes).
The whole set-up runs for about $300 ish dollars +/-
As for the Y section modification, you'll need to "cut off" this tab that prevents the Y section to sit on your MAF (its straight forward, you'll know wth i'm talking about once you have the Y-section). Then you'll need a silicone coupler and brackets to "tie" the Y section onto your MAF.

I've gave the k&n and greens so many tries, and no matter what people tell me about it flowing better, i think its BS. I did a testing MY way. I put the k&ns in the car, (w/o telling my father) told him to drive it around the block, then i put the stock ones back, and he did the same. he said the turn (with the stock filters) feels a bit smoother. the turn (with the k&ns) feels a bit sluggish.
and I agree with him, the stock filters makes the car "feel faster/lighter" and even the throttle sound is a bit happier.

I think it was about $32 each snorkle tube, new. it was like 35% off list.

CLK 55 AMG 2005 and CLK 63 AMG cab.2007 - 2009 EVO - 2013 ML63 AMG - 2018 G63 AMG
Read you posts, why didn't you get the 2007-2009 CLK 550 kevlar tubes?
Aren't they be bigger than the 350?
Soo from I can rear, the E55 airbox CAN be installed on a C55 or CLK55
Pug and Play (expect the y-pipe MAF part...)?
thanks guys

those tubes are bigger but it has plastic too, and it doesn't look like it will fit.
any NYC LOCALS? with A CLK550 I can "test" fit the hoses?
btw, i have the part numbers, A273 090 01 82 (left) A273 090 00 82 (right)

Looking at ur pictures, I dnt think the tubes would fit my SL becuase the air hole vents on my car vertical, and the ones on ur car n the clk350 are horizontal

i seen those intake hoses today on advans car, and yes it does make a difference too. You can hear it sucking more air in...We test fitted them on my clk500 too and they fit, looks like im going to order a set too
