Guidance on air intake filter replacement?

Elevating it to the independent thread to get more eyes on the question.

Is there a guidance on how to replace air filters published somewhere? Have mine sitting in the garage for couple of weeks now and would appreciate some guidance on howto.

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
take the air hoses off, unscrew the clamp , pull the housing up and the tubes from the hoses.
then take the screws out of the housing

Big THANK YOU to Ben at EAS. I looked at doing myself, and half the way in decided that I’d trust more someone who knows what they are doing

Which air filters did you replace them with - and do you notice much of a difference over OEM?

The ones from @shardul and yes, you notice the difference. I have them in my 2 AMGS and just ordered a 3rd set for the new coupe. Shardul was kind to ship the new filters directly to Ben.

I can't say enough good things about Shardul and the way he runs his business. Clearly, highly recommend.

Thanks - I'll reach out to him about them. Is it mostly a sound difference?

Performance. Better response overall. Certainly more efficient at high speed on both response and fuel — I didn’t notice a sound difference but the MY17 coupe is generally on the quiet side even with aftermarket exhaust system.

I still have a few weeks worth of wait for the ‘20 but now that will include the air filters and David’s @thewb wheels and tires. You should check out the HRE P103s too. They add to the perfection of the coupe.

Counting down the seconds :-)

Have not observed perf improvement yet in the last 12 hours post install Realistically, it's unlikely you will see much given the base hp and theoretical improvement. Said that, I had done it on all of my past cars given proven, even small improvements and the constant urge to tweak things

You will after break-in on a nice open road. Eastern WA is ideal after the mountain passes are clear :-)
