Didn't feel any difference with the K&N in sound and drivability. Probably all mental.

I guess have to stick with my OEM MANN filter then..

FYI, they are pre-oiled in the box.

There is a difference. I installed them on a Honda, Toyota, and a Mercedes. There is a small difference. The Mercedes took two. It's an '04 C240.

There is a different in performance and sound with the K&N filter. This was the first mod i did to my car when i got it. and all K&N filters come pre-oiled from factory. Be careful when you clean them and reoil it. To much oil will damage the Mass air sensor. This is very common problem for MBZ.
