Re: Quality Affordable Mercedes Direct Air Intake Kit 617
The standard OM617.912, naturally aspirated diesel does not have a problem sucking enough air thru the extremely effective paper air filter, as specified by Mercedes Banz, to provide adequate power in a well maintained 300D.

I doubt that a K&N or any other foam filter would be able to compete, for particle removal and pressure differential, against the stock air cleaner. I would be prepared to look at any reputable (ie, non-manufacturer sponsored test laboratory) testing of the air cleaner you are offering.
Regards,
Tony
