I just did the very same for my 560SEL. Did the job yesterday and with Second day UPS it was under $100.00 with all the air lines and connectors.
While you are doing that I would replace ALL the plastic plugs, air tubes(2, one each side),the main tube and the under plenum tube.(MB sells the main tube and under tube as one assy now(I recommend using MB parts here, I didn't like the parts I received, but used them for the short run(I didn't like the fitment of the connector between the main air tube and the under plenum tube at their juncture. Didn't seem tight enough to me.)
Autohauz uses Febi and Truckline rubber bits.
I'll redo this at a laer date with MB parts.
