Question 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...

I've been looking into Kleeman for some time now but at the moment i'm not at a point where i feel the need to mod my engine in that kind of way.
Thanks anyway!

SKN chip tuning, a tuning company in Germany, they had to take the ECU out from the car
