aFe Magnum FLOW OE Replacement Air Filters – Pair (Pro 5R Media)

Drop-in high-flow upgrade that gives your M278 noticeably sharper throttle and more mid-range pull — no tuning, no spacers, no hassle.


Why aFe Magnum FLOW Pro 5R Filters Crush It on the M278

✅ Massive Flow Increase
Pro 5R oiled cotton gauze flows significantly more than stock paper — the most aggressive aFe drop-in available.
✅ Pro 5R Oiled Media
Multi-layer oiled cotton traps dirt better while flowing freer. Washable & reusable for the life of the car.
✅ Perfect OEM Drop-In Fit
Exact factory dimensions + urethane seal = zero leaks, zero MAF codes, 100% stock airbox.

Real-World Results Owners Report

  • Perfect complement to headers, downpipes, tune, or E85

“Just the filters alone made my E550 feel way more alive. Throttle is sharper and it pulls harder in the 3–5k range. Super clean install.” – Alex R., 2015 CLS550 • 512 whp
