AIR FILTER
It's time to change the air filter on both of my cars. 04 SL500 & 03 S500!!!!! Could anyone please post an opinion on what is the best air filter recommended for these cars on the market ? also if some would result on power increase or is just BS ? who would stay with stock MB filter?

THANKS

Stock filters are good enough.

The best filtration. If you get a K&N filter that is over-oiled, it can mess up your air mass sensor.

The AMG cars do not have a MAF but I still would not use a K& N.
