I just prefer doing business with OE Discount Parts. They happen to be located in Asheville, NC, which is only about 50 miles from where I live in SC. I talked with someone from OE Discount Parts about this item. Wanted to make sure it was what I thought it was. The air cleaner intake was shipped from a M-B parts facility in NJ. Came in 2 days. Free Shipping.
There is an identical unit, with air filters, listed on eBay for $300USD. Been listed for several months. Seller probably doesn't know it can be bought new from M-B for less than $100USD. And then again, maybe the Seller does know that and hopes a Buyer doesn't know that!

This is the same as the OEM Crossfire air cleaner except it has MB on the logo.
It does not offer any upgrade to the performanvce, at first I thought it was the performance upgrade which has two parts to the air cleaner. Forget my PM. to you those filters are too big.
This is a cosmetic upgrade only.
