E55 Air box and clk550 Air box
So after a full examination e55 and clk550 air boxes are almost the same and the edge might be on the clk550 air box. Next time i will switch them up on the dyno run to see if there are any gains or loses between the two.

After comparing the two, you could see that the housing of the filters are almost identical. The 550's inlet tubes look a bit bigger also.

The clk with starless grill look so much like the E55. I preffered the star grill for more aggressive look and sporty.

there is no way I would take my car out in that snow... yuck!
that said it is currently snowing and the city is in panic mode
thankfully my car is all washed up and tucked away safely in the garage.

now to stay on topic... will the 550 air box fit a 500?

Thanks guys. It's a shame you can't see the detail in the grille, it looks much better in person.
