K & N for CLK 55?
I'm wondering if K & N air and oil filters are worthwhile for my 2001 CLK 55. Have any of you have experienced performance benefits or are the stock filters something that shouldn't be changed?

Anybody know what the standard deviation is on a dyno? If it is greater than 1%, theoretically there would be no increase in whp??

it was actauly pretty easy to get the housing off.Just some clips holding it in place.Then a few screws that come off and voila!
I replaced mine with the Greens.
I think,that with the Catback exhaust and the filters,the car does seem more sharp,especially @ higher speeds.
But that might be a mental thing too

the graph shows a pretty significant (and steady) increase in HP over the mid rpm range, which is pretty impressive for $80-90. it's not just about peak hp. looks like close to a constant 10 hp increase from 3600-5000.
My question is why it comes out plotted in excel wth so few data points. this doesn't look like most dyno charts i see.
