I went with this kit which includes spacers to improve airflow... negotiate on the price...

I’ve got the K&N filters. Not sure why I went with them other than they were a good price and are better than paper

I pm'd the seller. Looks like there's a ton of data to back this kit up .
Makes sense to me as well

Thanks for this Aries.. I recently bought a 2014 CLS550 and I was looking for the same info. I found the video below on a Nissan G37 stock vs. the K&N and according to this guy's dyno test, he saw about 7 HP and 6 ft-lbs of torque through most of the RPM range and peak was higher. Not the same car, obviously.. but I was wondering if there would really be any at all. I'll probably give the K&N a shot. I'll wait until the warranty expires before I start adding anything else (cough couch Renntech ECU cough cough).
