filter options
I am looking for filter options on my sl600, thought about the scorpion style intake from speedriven, also thought about k&n, but I also saw there is a dry high flow filter from afe. any input on what experience you have had? I like the scorpion style but not sure if I will miss my engine cover and I also dont know what the mercedes techs will think of it if I have a warranty claim. I know the k&n and afe's can be done for around 100, anyone know a price on the scorpion?

they gave me grief over my radars, then my lic plate lights, hid's, sub, literally everything. It's annoying especially as it always the car. I personally would leave engine stuff alone. Or wait and see how yr car Is for any issues for a few months b4 spending lots of mod cash.

not a bad idea, I guess I can keep it simple for now. I plan to do a little bit of under the hood inspection after I finish moving in a week or two, if the filters look shot I may take a look into some options. I just don't know for sure what all work needs to be done on this car with the miles it has
