Im using k&n and its pretty good so far, no problems yet *knocks on wood*. I noticed that the engine is 'lighter' and its more willing to shift up a gear sooner and rev lower. There is a whole debate whether K&n filters are good or bad. Check out this video on youtube. what they pretty much said is that over oiling will NOT damage the MAFs.

There are 4 parts to it, hope this helps.
gd luck

I was looking at parts.com before and the only list filters for the 350 and the 550. Based on that I would assume the 500 and 550 share the same filters. I could be wrong though. The main difference that I can see with the kevlar tubes is they are much bigger than the plastic one and allow more air.

Now the decision is greenfilters or K&N.
Do you know which cars have the kevlar tubes? is it from a 550 or a 55?

They all using the same filters. I checked with K&N site and ended up with the same part numbers. E55,CLK55,CLK550 and CLK350 all using the same #.

Do you know what MB's come with the kevlar tubes? (does my 550 have it?). And lastly, the kevlar are the ones on the right correct?

Yes sir, you wouldn't be able to do the conversion because your ECU is on top, correct?
