Dudes said $185 and I was like: "YOU BUGGIN!" After doing some research and a quick YouTube video on how to change them I was in and out from under the hood in about 25 minutes compared to the so called "by hour" nonsense out of control price I was quoted. And it only cost me a short time and some dirty hands which I washed right afterwards. These are definitely some high quality filters for sure and fit just fine. Just be easy with tightening the screws back down where the filter go. Cost is even cheaper than original Mercedes engine filters. Engine sounds even better as well. I will definite stay with this brand!.

It fits replacing the paper filter airbox. The intake tube is about =/- 22-25cm. Works great! adds a subtle throatyness to gas pedal. :-) **Q: is it good for mercedes c230? (my car need two filter) someone says that it does not work good for mercedes and it is just wasting your money.** A: Not sure who "someone" is, but using a K&N filter is a MAJOR improvement over the Original Equipment filter in ANY vehicle. It has a MILLION MILE warranty. It improves air flow as well as doing a better job of filter. K&N recommends washing and re-oiling the filter every 50,000 miles, so you can figure you bought the last filter you'll need for the live of the vehicle. I highly recommend K&N! **Q: Does it come with 2 filters, need it for my 07 GL450? Thank you.** A: No it is One Filter, you have order Two Filters. My Car the 2016 E350 uses One Filter. The previous Moldel E350 required Two Filters. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Save Money/Do it Yourself/Not that Hard *by A***E on March 24, 2026* I certainly wasn't going to the dealer so I called a local mechanic who specializes in Mercedes Benz and inquired how much it would cost to change both the engine air filters and cabin air filter.

Not much of a noticeable lower increase, but throttle response is improved. Fuel economy is also better if you can keep your foot out of it, lol. Quality products as always. This time I put them a Sl550 and let that 5.5L v8 breath a bit better. Thanks Amazon for good price and super fast next day shipping. ## Frequently Bought Together - K&N High-Flow Original Lifetime Engine Air Filter: Increase Power: Premium, Washable: Compatible with 1999-2012 MERECEDES BENZ: (See Product Description for Select Models) 33-2181 - Mann Filter Mann-Filter CUK29005 Cabin Air Filter - MANN-FILTER HU 718/5 X Cartridge Oil Filter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/3565980-high-flow-original-lifetime-engine-air-filter-increase-power-premium](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/3565980-high-flow-original-lifetime-engine-air-filter-increase-power-premium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
