Cheap OIL Separator DIY
If you are bored with your best option - factory air hausing
or you have plunged OM617 in w126 coupe (so the housing is 6-7mm higher than supposed and do jumps over hood insulation) you can EASILY make your own from existing (well, if you really wish COLD air intake best option is to find filter with metal housing and plug it to the "nose" of the car...) take the old housing off and rip off old oil separator find a suitable can (stainless if possible) measure the position in the car and height of the can accordingly. cut the can so you will have two "ears" on which you will sink the old sep. flat the edge or regret latter to collect oil properly you have to cone a can a bit, I did it with small pipe (while punching that one bellow was another pipe with bigger diameter) make a drip pipe (stainless or brass is also fine...)

.
It is metal housing with coned filter inside (different diameters are available and no oil is needed) so it is real cold air intake,..most similar to factory setup that I had to remove in due engine height difference. it will not improve any perfomance but will override air housing issue company is called sprintfilter and are based in Italy,... I don't think they have representative in US .. mine was gift,but I don't think they are cheap .... .

Yes it appears to be what's on his car. Wow what a catalogue. Very nice stuff.
No prices listed but I don't need to ask....
