^^^ This.
There are times (when I'm doing felonious speeds and wishing for every last HP) that I second-guess my Mercedes air box. But, once the cars are parked and the hoods are popped, this beauty redeems itself.
I was under the impression that the SRT and the Limited used the same filters? I could verify this easily enough -- Steve has at least two sets of '32 AMG filters (same as SRT) and I have the OEM air box off the car with the paper filters inside.
The filters in the C320 airbox are MUCH larger than the SRT filters. 2" longer and at least 1" wider. Plus, they're K&N so they move a decent amount of air.
Aesthetically, the N/A motor is a homely creature without something on top of it to hide the tangled mess of components and harnesses.
