After new timing chain, cam sprocket, rear springs, glow plugs, and cool air intake being done this W116 shows the true power of the Mercedes turbodiesel.

Technically, that is not a cold air intake, not even close to cool air, its A HOT AIR INTAKE, look whats wrong with the intake, its right above the exhaust manifold and its sucking up heat instead of cool air, so really having a stock air intake is the true cold intake because its taking air from the outside, instead of the closed compartment. BTW nice W116

Thats not a cool air intake, thats a VERY HOT AIR intake.

Very nice car ; As I had written to you before, I don't think you have any benefits with that air intake. The only you can see is by timing your 0-60 with original setup and with your after market one. Personally, I 've put the K+N in the original air box. Cheers and keep your car, was only made 2 years diesel with this body !

I think it would've been wiser to use a K&N filter that fits in the original airfilter box

the air intake isn't the restriction on these old diesels... it's the injection pump.

bet that actuall made a good lil difference on there huh? We own a few mercedes and one of their weakpoints is their intakes

Please put back stock, that small ass ebay filter isn't helping! MB engineers spent alot of time and troubling getting good amount of air into that diesel!

I really have to agree with zech007; it is a hotter air intake then the stock one. You would probably be better with the stock one with a k&n air filter. Very nice car by the way.
