Here is a pic of it.

No offense but K&N filters are awful for diesels. There are plenty of other solutions that work better.

 

Would you like to expound on your theory? I have run them on my dodge ram mechanical injected 12V that I drag race, my jetta TDI, my VW Caddy. Everyone I race with runs them on their diesels .

Banks, BD Diesel, Extreme Diesel, Bullydog and other diesel performance companies sell them for their performance kits.


So my question is, are you saying for Mercedes Diesels they are no good? If so why?

 

Unless that filter is isolated from the engine compartment, it is actually a warm air intake. My non-turbo 300D has factory cold air induction.

 

Now there is a true statement, it has an isolation canister or flange.

Can you show it?

There is NO power increase with that filter. Only an increase in noise, reduction in turbo lag and reduction in filtering efficiency. The stock air filter is a true cold-air intake and can flow about 450cfm, almost 40% more than the engine uses.

$150 is far too much. Nobody should pay more than $0 for a warm-air intake kit. If the PO paid $359 for that then he got scammed big time.

 

150$ for that.. what do we look like.. a bunch of honda civic owners with fart cans dragging on the ground due to our cut springs and overloaded use of vinyl carbon fiber stickers?

 

I can make that myself for less than $50 in parts, including the K&N. That oil seperator even looks like PVC tubing covered in a thick red paint.

 

You could make it a cold air by putting a snorkle through the hood...

It is best to keep the stock setup unless you can truely improve the setup.

If it is such a good thing to have, why sell it?

 

that kit is junk. I bought one years ago from the guy who makes them (recognized the red PVC seperator) and paid $120 new. I no longer have the kit on my car, it fell apart.
