Save yer money.

If car has maf sensor(s) with hotwire avoid any that are oiled as the oil can knacker the maf!

I've had a piper cross filter in my mondeo since xmas and the car has been fine. I oiled the filter too.

is there that much oil in them that it can be drawn out of the materials and into the inlets?

ive no idea if it has a maf sensor....its a Mercedes C63....I found this feature online comparing. them . im not sure if the standard airboxes on an AMG tuned car will be as restrictive as they claim standard airboxes are on less performance orientated cars...
I don't think its the sort of car id fit cone filters to though.
maybe standard genuine parts would be the best option..... there doesn't seem to be much point in spending £150 on a pair of direct replacement K+Ns though.....

If you just want some noise fit a cone filter. If not, just keep it standard.

I oiled my filter too. I just give it a few sprays then left the filter for a few days for the oil to soak in. Like I said mines been ok.

I bet the merc V8 would sound mint with an induction kit.

Don’t know if they have one for the C63 but I’d like a Eventuri for my M135i but can’t justify the ££££

Try a Mercedes one.

just been down to the main dealer.....£27 + vat for 2 genuine air filters for a C63 isn't bad....Mercedes has surprised me a few times now for parts prices....euro car parts charges that for one non original...

For most cars, it is always worth pricing original stuff...sometimes it isnt so bad. Especially when it is always better quality than aftermarket stuff, even when some aftermarket claim OE quality, rarely are they

exactly as so many people slate dealers but on most cars especially service parts they compete well, saying that for my 5pot if I shop at volvo its way cheaper than buying the parts from ford

3 years ago I bought a brand new front brake caliper for my A210 from the Mercedes main dealer. it was about £120 if I remember correct....nearly £50 cheaper than a second hand recon part from ebay.and they wanted me to send them the old caliper in part exchange !
changed the air filters....definitely sounds a bit fruitier than before even though its not a quiet car in the first place but the filters in it were a cheap unknown make....its only had 2 previous owners....the last one must have been a tightarse maintaining a high performance car like this on the cheap.!
just been speaking to a mate who has an old 90s C43.....his parts are ridiculously expensive ….£132 for a genuine pair of air filters and £600 for a genuine brake disc....
