Does the W208CLK55 airbox , 2 pipes , and cover fit on a w208 430?

clkal · 03-24-2004, 07:50 PM

do you guys know if the stock airbox assembly will bolt right onto a 430? i got quoted $590 for the airbox, 2 hoses and the cover plate from the dealer...but before i buy it, i just want to make sure that it will fit properly.

TIA,
AL

Yes It Does work...Good Gains!
You must trim the cover to fit/clear via dremel

thanks, mark . Approximately how much do i need to trim off w/ the dremel?

Check the part numbers on the air box. I am pretty sure they are the same air box design.

Did anyone actually dyno the CLK55 airbox on the CLK430 or do they think it made more HP?

You trim off a little around the oil filter area...

Yes The CLK was on a Dyno ...Two runs...One with the stock air box with stock air filters....Then another run with the AMG air box and Tubes with K/Ns...

The AMG air Box is Different!..Different Part Numbers...
Once you have a look at them You Can See The Difference!

sajecw · 03-25-2004, 03:19 PM

I was curious what the difference was in HP. That's all

The size of the plenum is much bigger on the 55 airbox. Also, the lower half of the 55 airbox has intake runners to direct the air, and the intake hoses snap onto the box very securely as opposed to the slip on fit of the 430 box.

I was the first one poo-pooing it as a looks only upgrade until I actually took a look at the two boxes apart. I then proceeded to take my foot out of my mouth.

Josh, so all i need to buy are the 4 parts?

113-090-01-01 air cleaner
113-090-03-82 Hose (2 of these)
113-010-05-67 cover plate

everything will just bolt right onto my 430? except the minor dremmelling?

There should be 2 part numbers for the hoses as they are not simply two of the same part. Aside from the minor dremeling, everything fits right onto the 430 motor.

FYI, you only need to buy three parts - the cover plate is optional and only needed for the "cool" factor.

so how much extra hp are we talkin about here? box 5, k&n 5 for a total of 10hp?

Josh K · 03-25-2004, 07:50 PM

I've heard reliable sources say that the box has been dynoed and yielded more along the lines of 20hp.

CHB · 03-25-2004, 08:37 PM

20hp!!

I'm assuming thats with k&n's?

If that's the case I am getting myself a W209 CLK55 air box, which looks more like the 430 air box, and I think is nicer than the W208 CLK55 one.

The numbers are with a 208 airbox, I don't think a 209 one's been tested - make sure it fits before you buy.

I think the gain of 20hp was only for the box. The filters with the box yielded an additional 5

tery · 03-25-2004, 11:35 PM

dose the AMG airbox fit 320 engine ?

CHB · 03-26-2004, 12:23 AM

Josh K, have yo noticed a power difference sice you installed the air box?

Josh K · 03-26-2004, 12:45 AM

dunno yet. my car's up on jackstands right now until my next mod is finished.

I started it up though and the exhaust note sounds different already.

I eventually plan on forced induction but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the box so I decided to put it on for now :0)

CHB · 03-26-2004, 12:52 AM

Do you think you'll have your car running by Monday, with a review of this airbox?

Josh K · 03-26-2004, 12:57 AM

no, the car is wheel-less right now

CHB · 03-26-2004, 01:24 AM

When you getting this mod done? within a weeks time?

Even better.

CHB · 03-27-2004, 05:14 PM

I went to the dealer today, and they wanted $600 US for the box with both tubes

I'm pretty sure the evosport pulleys are better bang for the buck.

The pulleys will give you 13 HP at the wheels.
