Default How many air filters are there on SLK 350?

I just wonder how many air filter I have to change on SLK 350?
I am getting K&N in a couple of days, and I was watching some pictures on this site...
Are there 2 air filters, one on each side of air intake system, or is there just one air filter??
The picture I was watching had been posted by forum member Ynot, I wonder if that is AMG 55 air intake or 350?

Ynot's car is an SLK350 and it has two air filters,Whilst you are at the process of acquiring after market air filters I highly recommend you to search for the Mercedes Sports Package air box as it has a larger volume and when equipped with after market air filters it provides adequate and more responsive changes.

^ That is a step by step guide with photos on a C55. My SLK280 was pretty much identical to it so I'm pretty sure the 55, 350 and 280 engines are all very much alike.

Thank You.
What is the difference between the standard Airbox and the sport one?
