AIRBOX UPGRADE
Hello people, I need some help with deciding on an upgrade....would an airbox off a S55 fit my clk500 ? what kind of an airbox can I use that would be a direct bolt on or little alteration ? I'm looking for a OEM if possible.
Thanx !!!

Get the E55K airbox, pretty much a direct fit & OEM finish.

Also, aren't the V8 engines all the same in all classes...C, E, S, CLK, etc....? if that's so, shouldn't the air boxes fit from any of them ?
Again if I ask dumb questions bare with me because I just picked up my CLK last month and I'm trying to learn whatever I can about it

Here is another picture so you can see the Y pipe better;
Thanks for the compliment as well, I take a lot of pride keeping that engine bay clean, tough to do here especially with a vented hood but always worth the effort.
Good luck.

A lot of the airbox questions were asked and answered in this thread.. I suggest a thorough read through before making any decision

There are some minor things that need to be done for the e55 to fit. For example you need to reverse the Y-pipe (counter intuitive if you aren't prepared). Also notice you will need to do a minor modification to the cover for it to fit around the oil cap (I dremeled mine out).
Good luck!

I know it's an old thread, but does anyone know if the C/CLK55 N/A airbox will fit a M113 CL500. I don't see any reason it should not. I'd go with an 55K one but don't like the manifold being all exposed (since no supercharger) and don't want to deal with the y-pipe fit over the MAF as it requires some modifying. Looking for a nice clean setup thanks. M-benz and kevwood, amazing looking intake setups

Is there any difference between the 03, 04 CLK55 airbox versus the 05, 06 C55, CLK55 one?
