Default Green Filters for 350

Got some news for you 350 owners.

After a lot of hard work on Bill's part and some minor energy expenditure on mine we have verified that the Green Filters for the 5.5V8 will fit your cars.

I have checked the part information on the MB in house computers and the numbers match for all cars concerned, Bill has checked and verified the dimensions of the filters and has come to the same conclusion so we are now satisfied to the point where we have decided to go ahead and put them on sale in the store.

As always they will be a direct swap out for the OEM Mann filters so all it takes is a simple 5 minute swap.

Any word on the sports air filter for the 280? (Green filter or not).

A member from mbworld had slk55 green filters on his SLK350, he ordered from Neal from eurotek, when I emailed Neal he said it didn't fit so I didn't order. Good to get that confirmed, will order sometime this week, watching football at the moment, go bronco's.

Do you actually notice any difference with these filters, either in terms of power or sound?

Also, how often would the filters need to be replaced?

Only slight sound difference to be heard and i doubt there are any real power gains to speak of but the engine does rev easier with the greens installed so i think the advantage comes from the fact you can get up into the power band quicker
