Here are some comparison photos and a little math for your viewing pleasure. I might mention that you can SEE THROUGH the K&N, down in the folds.
This particular part fits a 2003 MB C320 Kompressor coupe. The K&N has 128 square inches of filter media, the Mann has 1752 square inches! That's over THIRTEEN TIMES the filtering area! Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

My 964 had a k&N when I got it, so I went on the Rennlist 964 forum looking for others' experiences. Turned out it was a major hot topic over there: lots of evidence to suggest the K&N sucked ('scuse the pun), although many who had forked out for them were outraged at the suggestion ...
So I replaced mine with the stock air filter, just to be on the safe side. The main value of those cars is in the engine, and there was no way I was going to risk knackering it by believing a load of advertising hype. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) I didn't notice any performance difference whatsoever afterwards. My 2c. |
