Cold air kits on this cars are pointless, the factory already installed one. They provide no more power, make the engine a bit louder thats all.

I have yet to see two back to back 0-60 runs measured with say a G Tech Pro that shows a cone filter set up improves anything.

Actualy quite the opposite, I think unless your filter is really clogged the turbo will suck in all the air it needs and 0-60 times will not change.

K&N filters are also pointless on any MB, the factory intakes are not restrictive at all. On the newer ones with MAF sensors the oil from the K&N will often cause them to fail.

AMG is able to build 500+hp NA V8's and they don't use K&N's.
