So... why do we think MB didn't just install an X pipe? do they do it on other models?

Curious minds want to know....

So it doesnt burn more fuel and be more efficient in performance. They do this with the charcol filters on the airbox for 2008+ SLK55's for better MPG.

They certainly should - the stock SLK55 sounds tame in comparison to the new C63. The x-pipe makes it just about right IMO.
