Hey Wes! I bought the Thermo Tec 13575 Adhesive Backed Heat Barrier from Summit Racing (their ebay store). It's really easy to work with and I'm happy with the results!

Does anyone know if the CLK55 airbox work just as good? Does it have fins or is it just the same as my 500 airbox?
edit: did a search found out all I need to know

there goes my question! lol.. I actually thought that the air filter is the thing I see on top of the battery... there is a small filter on top of the battery cover...
does anybody care to tutor on how to replace the stock air filter?
i was wondering if there was a center cover earlier. then i realized there is one. cuz on the e55amg. the engine is ****ing huge. lol so it protrudes outward in the middle.
btw. 2mchar are you selling your original 500 airbox?

I'm keeping my original 500 box for Smog Test purposes. The bigger box hides my headers (when I get them) and the little protruding hose on the left side of the 55K airbox (looks like it supposed to go to the supercharger; It's like I messed with the smog equipment). What I ended up doing is polishing the aluminum intake (real shiny
) and now it looks custom Hey Wes,
Did you ever put on the tyreart on your tires? Any pics?
