ECS Tuning Air Filters

Has anyone tried the air intake filters from ECS tuning?

part number is: 4461026.

They have a dry and filtered version. They posted something about their filters in the C219 CLS63 forum, but no one every responded.

for $40 it’s much cheaper than K&N or other options.

I guess someone had to do it

They dropped the price again to $31 each. So I ordered a pair of the dry filters. I will update everyone on how they look/fit/perform.

They’re good

So I received them and installed them. No issues installing. The same as any other filter. They aren’t as firm a press in compared to the stock filters. But it isn’t any issue when it’s installed.

they protrude the same amount into the filter housing as a stock filter does, so it could be benefit from a spacer kit, (not what this thread is about, so please don’t start debating it) if you wanted to get the filter out of the airflow area.

I drove it afterwards and there were no issues, although it did seem to pull a little harder in the upper RPMs.

for the price it’s a much better upgrade than rhe K&N or BMS filters.
