Nice vid. Wifey and I are fast car people. We each have 2019 Challenger Scat Packs. I have a 64 Corvette Stingray. She has a 63 T Bird. I also have a 70 LT1 Corvette. And living on the South Carolina Coast of course I have a 2019 9 inch lift Chevy 2500HD pick up. Just picked up a sweet 2014 CLS 550 4Matic. Mint condition with only 28k miles. What a car ! Love this car and it performs so well even at the stock level. Going to get the K&Ns for it. Also next week I am getting a stage 2 tune from PresserTech right out side Atlanta. Just an ECU tune, not changing anything else. It will be around 550 hp at crank and an unbelievable 703 pounds o torque ! Can't wait. Even stock this car is so under rated. I would have never thought it would be so fast. 50 years old and first ever foreign car and loving it. Thanks for the vid...

Nice cars! Oh yeah a stage 2 tune on the CLS 550 will open her up quite a bit and will be fast! Your are right these things are under rated! This is my first German car also and so far I love it! Thanks!

Thanks man! Yeah I was looking into VRP Speeds website and that’s the intake pipes I wanna get too!

Fan boys will drop in a fancy new filter in place of a clogged old paper filter and give credit for better running. The problem was always the old filter. A new filter will give the same performance bump. Plus, there is no need to clean and oil. Oil can foul MAF which is bad.

Fan boys isn’t the correct word for that, they cold broke mfs, if u don’t have like 20 bucks to get a air filter for your car then performance should prob be the last thing they should be thinking of lol

@@RedlineracinggarageI have 126k MILES, only regular maintenance. Had over 20 MBs/ BMW. By far the most reliable I have owned. The 2014 CLS 550 I have seems to be the most reliable and for some reason is left out of most all service bullitens.

Has anyone here owned the CLS with K&N filters for any long time period? My mechanic says they contaminate the mass air flow sensors because of the oil on the filters. Has anyone experienced this?

Is it really worth it?

Thanks for the video! My left air flow pipe is also broken. We're you able to replace them with a new one? If so where did you order it from? Thanks in advanced.

I like the cheap paper filters. Less restrictive than the K&N oil treated filters. For the price of the cheap paper filters, you can swap em out 3 times as often.

@@gottliebdee263 everyone has their own opinion. I’ve used K&N for 30+ years. They make great filters. But the paper filters are less restrictive initially. Of course they clog up faster, and K&N beats them there. But you have to clean and retreat K&N filters if you’re using them properly. For the price of a K&N I can swap the cheaper filters at least 3 times. And always have optimal performance. It’s all a matter of preference. But I just buy the inexpensive filters now and swap them out every oil change.

Don’t use a K&N unless you absolutely, positively have to have the extra 3 hp you ‘might’ get. Worse filtration than the stock item and will deposit oil where you don’t need it.

Stay away from this shit! K&N filters rely on oil satruration for proper filtering. Too much oil on them and they are restrictive, too less and they don't filter proper. This is a turbocharged engine and it's going to follow it's boost setpoint no mather what. Fouled air filters: its gonna make these turbo's work just a little bit harder and sooner. Even an open filter isn't going affect your preset boost curve. These filter boxes are fine for a M157, so why expect power gains for a M278?' Please stop bolting crap on these engines and get a proper chip-tune that does differ you boost curve if you realy want more power.

Look into the UPD intake spacer kit. The stock air boxes don’t bring enough air in. The spacers help a good amount. I paired the spacers with weistec dry filters. They work with any filters. Great howto video.
