## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it fit c280 w204 3.0L petrol 2008?**
A: The K&N 33-2181 Air Filter would not be the proper filter for the 2008 MERCEDES BENZ C280 3.0L V6.

**Q: Hi it fit's in a C200 2010 kompressor?**
A: I have a 740 BMW Msport with the M62 V8.  4.4L naturally aspirated, high compression. It fits replacing the paper filter airbox. The intake tube is about =/- 22-25cm. Works great! adds a subtle throatyness to gas pedal. :-)

**Q: is it good for mercedes c230? (my car need two filter) someone says that it does not work good for mercedes and it is just wasting your money.**
A: Not sure who "someone" is, but using a K&N filter is a MAJOR improvement over the Original Equipment filter in ANY vehicle. It has a MILLION MILE warranty. It improves air flow as well as doing a better job of filter. K&N recommends washing and re-oiling the filter every 50,000 miles, so you can figure you bought the last filter you'll need for the live of the vehicle.
I highly recommend K&N!

**Q: Does it come with 2 filters, need it for my 07 GL450? Thank you.**
A: No it is One Filter, you have order Two Filters. My Car the 2016 E350 uses One Filter. The previous Moldel E350 required Two Filters.
