|  K&N or BMC air filter? eventually header? Hi all, I'm thinking of replacing the stock air filter of my SLK 200 and there are two options i am considering. K&N or BMC, which one would give me the best air flow? Any thought on both are welcome. Also, iv'e seen something about mgheaders back on benzworld which had a fairly good price. Non of the less, googling hasn't brought me any answers on as where to buy them, anyone? Info on other brand headers are also welcome. Thanks! Jay |

|  I have a 350, replaced the OEM filters with K&N, also made an ECU upgrade and I am very satisfied, less fuel consumption and more perfomance... |
