Does the W208CLK55 airbox , 2 pipes , and cover fit on a w208 430?
do you guys know if the stock airbox assembly will bolt right onto a 430? i got quoted $590 for the airbox, 2 hoses and the cover plate from the dealer...but before i buy it, i just want to make sure that it will fit properly.
TIA,
AL

You must trim the cover to fit/clear via dremel

Did anyone actually dyno the CLK55 airbox on the CLK430 or do they think it made more HP?
Yes The CLK was on a Dyno ...Two runs...One with the stock air box with stock air filters....Then another run with the AMG air box and Tubes with K/Ns...
The AMG air Box is Different!..Different Part Numbers...
Once you have a look at them You Can See The Difference!

I was the first one poo-pooing it as a looks only upgrade until I actually took a look at the two boxes apart. I then proceeded to take my foot out of my mouth.

113-090-01-01 air cleaner
113-090-03-82 Hose (2 of these)
113-010-05-67 cover plate

FYI, you only need to buy three parts - the cover plate is optional and only needed for the "cool" factor.

I think the gain of 20hp was only for the box. The filters with the box yielded an additional 5

The numbers are with a 208 airbox, I don't think a 209 one's been tested - make sure it fits before you buy.

dunno yet. my car's up on jackstands right now until my next mod is finished.
I started it up though and the exhaust note sounds different already.
I eventually plan on forced induction but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the box so I decided to put it on for now :0)

I went to the dealer today, and they wanted $600 US for the box with both tubes I'm pretty sure the evosport pulleys are better bang for the buck.
