Im sure they have been proven to increase horsepower no a cheap
ricburner type gas car, but not on a diesel.

Those setups are called cold air intakes, they increase the airflow to the
engine and believe it or not have been proven to increase power. I found a
setup for my Miata and with a nice exhaust it added a extra 20hp at the rear
wheels. I guess a lot of kids out there with little money to spend have the
home made setups that look like a plumbing nightmare, but they work

This is standard issue for the kids with their rice burner Hondogs. They
take sewer pipe to build a tube from where they can fit the little filter
to the intake. The total filtration area is WAY less than the OE. It might
be ok for a 4 banger, but not a 6 or 8 cyl.
The K&N is good on a /5 BMW, where the total filtration area is the
same. I would not put this on my MB.
The filter mounts on my 126 never bother. What's up with yours? I had to
weld the mount on a 85 123 300TD, but the 126 is solid. I get over 100K on
a 126 filter.

Kaleb,
We had a thread on this about 6 months ago. Marshall
said that since the engine AS IS operates with an
abundance of air, there is NO WAY it can increase
performance.
But I have been wondering if there is anyway it could
HARM the engine. I am tired of breaking air filter
mounts, of making do-dads to keep the damn thing from
breaking again, etc. My concern isn't performance but
the stupidest thing ever to come out of MB: the 126
air cleaner mounting apparatus.
Thoughts?
