You will need two peices, and there is no difference between 05 and 06


Here is a tip before installing them keep them out for the excessive oil to dry; They tend to come Overoiled from the factory those K&N's

What difference do the K&Ns make sound and power, whats the best supplier for the UK. I could not find the SLK55 on the K&N website.

Honestly, there is no big difference in sound or power.

I had the swap done, and whilst it feels like the car has slightly better throttle response, it could just be my imagination. You're only looking at maybe 1 or 2 extra hp max...

Also, it seems like the K&N's add a little "burble" to the sound, which in itself is kind of fun. i.e. when you accelerate hard and then let go, the rumbling of the engine stays..

I've got some Green filters that have been sitting in my house for about 2 weeks. I simply haven't had time to install them. I assume they are pre-oiled too. Are you suggesting to take them out of the box for awhile? Put them in the sun? What?

You think I've given them ample time to dry already?

Green Filters don't have that problem... What are you waiting for?

Because I'm a loser and deserve to get my *ss kicked.
