Weistec Releases M157 / M278 Biturbo, High Flow Air Filters

We will now be offering a drop in filter replacement. These Weistec filters are compatible with the 5.5 Biturbo and the 4.7 Biturbo (M157 and M278 engines). When analyzing the factory airbox and flow characteristics we found the placement of the filter in the box to be a significant restriction. Improvements in filter shape and positioning, combined with our very own high flow element provides a significant flow and power increase across all ranges of the engines power band.

View these on Weistec.com

Key Features:
  • Adds 5-20 Horsepower
  • Increased Flow Area
  • Optimized Airbox fitment over factory filter
  • Amplifies the performance of your Weistec ECU Tune
  • Set of 2

You can get a pair of BMC filters cheaper (part FB224/01). Why get these?

I'm really interested to see how it affects their curve.

Yes, right off BMC's website. The BMCs are baically the same and $100 cheaper for the pair.
Model HP Year ID/Chassis Engine Code Shape Code
63 AMG [2 Filters Required] 525 11 > M157DE55AL Flat FB224/01


If you want even cheaper K&N makes them for the V8 biturbo as well.
