K&N Filters?

Hey,

I was about to buy the performance filters by K&N, but I was wondering if it can really helps the car getting a couple of HP?

What you guys think?

I don't think they'd do one iota of good for the GTS. My 2 cents.

Ever since I heard the story of someone having an aftermarket air filter deteriorate and spit pieces into the engine causing catastrophic failure (which MB didn't cover!) I have decided the extra potential 5 hp isn't worth the risk.

K&N is a high quality aftermarket high flow filter. I run high flow filters on all my cars. If you want a step above K&N, go with BMC. I used both and K&N seems to perform the same without the premium price tag. Filters doesn't really do much for performance but it does enhance the intake noise from the engine.

If you want to enhance your turbo sound, pair a high flow filter with the Weistec M178 VTA Adapter System. http://weistec.com/all/gt/amg-gt/gt-...er-system.html
