[QUOTE="nasscmw, post: 1230919, member: 11469"] Hey guys, As far as i know on sports filter, for normal road going use there is no point. Why? Even tho you do have heat shield most of the time you're still going to drive in the city. There is already alot of heat in the city. You're not driving fast, you're driving slow. There are always cars infront of you and you're just sucking in hot air. Why it works on performance cars is because you're driving them fast, not slow. Therefore cool air. Supposedly the standard ones are good enough for both different types of driving but of course not great on extreme performance. The 190E 2.5/2.3 has a good intake that's because the air intake is just beside the radiator. Therefore you get a ram air like process. As for performance filters, each time it is installed it's always placed behind the radiator and air (cool) only goes in when the car goes extremely fast, hence the reason why they're used best during fast drives or races. With a normal filter, if I am not mistaken, the standard merc like the W124 has a tube like intake which goes direct to the filter. That sorts of cool the air right before the filter. If the filter comes before tube, you're sucking in hot air. [/QUOTE]
