Green Filters

Omnipotent · 12-01-2006

I've been looking around a bit and it looks like Green Filters are the best to get for my 55. Anyone know when we can buy the filters from SLKWORLD's shop?

I am not sure when they will be available here thats Bill's department and i am sure he will chime in with an answer but if you want them now euroteck motorsports sell them also

I've hear horror stories regarding them lately on mbworld, do a little more research before you purchased. They also require quite a bit maintenance (cleaning) every other month.

Has anyone using Green Filters run into the same problem with an SLK?

**DansSlk** · 12-01-2006

Yes, been and checked mine and its pulled both down but then mine does suck people carriers into the intakes at idle so its maybe not a fair call.

I have re seated mine and will be calling Green in the morning about it

No problem at all, happy to assist.

I've had mine for about 10K miles. No problems. However, I will check them today to see if they are seated properly.

**alroumi** · 12-03-2006

No problems thank god!

**dsb** · 12-03-2006

Well, I checked mine yesterday. They were still seated correctly. I'm glad I took the time to check them because they were quite dirty. I've never seen so many dismembered bugs before. Anyways, I cleaned them thoroughly and spun them 180 degrees for even use. They're back in again and all is well.

PS. I think there may be a reason some filters have fallen out of place. The airbox is designed in such a way that you must install the filters then flip the airbox over to tighten the screws. Perhaps this is the reason the filters fall out of place. Instead, I place my airbox on the side of my workbench. I install 1 filter at a time from the bottom. That way, the airbox & filter remains steady during installation. I would suggest everyone do the same.
