intake
From the engine to the radiator support mine is the same as above. On the outside I just used silicone elbows Into the rubber of the factory holes. Seals up pretty good. Piping after that but havent sourced the right filters.

Hello Members....
The winter is here....
I have thinking a lot about this intake case.( in two years time)
I have one pretty simple solution on this.
I'm gone buy new or used OEM radiator and made a new radiator.
I'm gone use the OEM radiators booth ends and narrow the radiator 2-3 inch so I have space enough with the 4" pipes at the front.
My friend own a radiator shop and he told me the idea is great and he want to help me.
So we will se if it gone work or not....
but I think it's gone work.
Maybe a new thread when I'm going to start the jobb

That's a great idea. I'm intensely frustrated by the stock MB intake system, and would love to find a better solution.
However, the radiator is central to lots of other things - its a very tightly packed area.
The following parts all interface directly or indirectly with the radiator, and would have to be modified:
Radiator mounting brackets
Front bumper mountings
Engine cooling fan
ABC oil cooler
Air conditioning condenser
Charge cooler heat exchanger
Charge cooler pump
Auxiliary radiator pipe
Transmission cooling pipes
Some ABC hose mounts
There are also LOTS of moulded plastic air ducts that guide all the intake air through the radiator. You can't even see them until you remove the front bumper and see for yourself. If you don't re-instate the ducting properly, the engine won't be cooled properly.
Please be aware of all the implications.
All the best, Nick

It's gone be exiting to take of the radiator and look .
If I'm gone narrow it 2" it's gone be 1" / side.
I think the water and oil pipes is gone enough to reach their own places at radiator.
We will see.....

I've done a lot of research into radiators as part of my HE project, and I can confidently say that its probably the same.
To explain, each model of car comes with lots of different radiators, depending on market, engine, transmission, aircon, etc.
Radiators are typically characterised by the dimensions of the core.
The most common radiator used by the W220, W215 and R230 has a core that measures 641 x 469 x 40 mm. The MB part no is 220 500 09 03.
There are other versions with 22mm and 26mm cores, but they're only used by the small engined versions
So the radiators are probably the same.
