Green filters are much better, because they come pre oiled but not as excessive as the K&N's, in which some Mercedes-benz were prone to bad MAF sensors due to these drop in filters.

Hi.
Where can I found a shop to buy green filter that ship to italy?
I have an SLK 350 from May 2004. I searched fot a K&N filter and I found that only from 2006 they build the K&N 33-2181 air filter but then I wonder if all the filters are the same or I have a different air filter for my car.
Thank You

I installed 33-2181 K&N filters on my 2004 (November) 350, they fit perfectly.
Don' think you will damage your air flow sensor, I really think K&N knows what they are producing...
