@wildta
With the AMG box, I have to say, I was impressed with the wind noise, my wife and I carried a conversation with no issues and having the radio at low volume. Definitely a great buy. Also, this model box is rated 200kph - of which I didn't test, however, I did hit 160kph with no issues.
For MPG's, the car averaged 9.2l per 100km which converts to approximately 25MPG

It's the best looking box on the market. I've only ever seen one in person on a c63 wagon in Canada.
