Hopefully you did not take my simple response as crucifiction, as it was not meant that way, but if you did, you will need a thicker skin on this forum IMHO.

As John stated, a good meal could be had for $59, much like proven power could have been had for $59, if you bought 2 K&N filters and put them in your airbox. You wanted to 'dress it up' a little, which is certainly fine, but you were not wanting to pay the piper.
Many of us view this car as a very fine piece of automobilia, hell, it is a mercedes after all. This is why many here are willing to spend countless hours and hard earned funds on our mods and really personalize them, with high quality parts. Good luck with your intake, in all sincerity, but if you do not want to be flamed, I would recommend against posting 'the cheapest possible want to do _______' and asking opinions.....
