Mercedes Benz W205/W213/C253, C43/E43/GLC43 Performance Air Intake

Twin enclosed airboxes, twin high-flow filters, and every bracket and coupler needed to fit them. This Performance Air Intake replaces the restrictive factory airboxes on the Mercedes-AMG C43, E43 and GLC43 with a complete sealed kit built specifically for the M276 V6.

The M276 runs a turbocharger per bank, so it takes two intakes - and the factory pair is built for noise regulations first and airflow second. This kit gives each turbocharger its own sealed enclosure fed from the factory cold-air duct, with an oversized cone filter and a smooth silicone inlet in place of the corrugated factory tubing.

The enclosures matter as much as the filters. An open cone sitting in the engine bay draws heat-soaked air and gives back much of what it gains; a sealed box keeps each filter on cold air even after a hard run.

Supplied complete - airbox panels, heat shields, filters, silicone couplers, MAF housings and adapter harnesses, clamps and all mounting hardware.

Key Features

Twin Sealed Airboxes

One enclosure per turbocharger, sealing each filter away from engine bay heat and feeding it from the factory cold-air duct.

Twin High-Flow Cone Filters

Large, washable and reusable elements sized to keep flow up over the life of the kit rather than needing replacement each service.

Complete Kit Supplied

Airbox panels, heat shields, filters, silicone inlet couplers, MAF housings with adapter harnesses, clamps and all hardware - nothing further to source.

Smooth Silicone Inlets

Reinforced silicone replaces the corrugated factory tubing, removing the turbulence that comes with it.

MAF Adapter Harnesses Included

The factory mass airflow sensors transfer into the supplied housings and plug straight in - no cutting and no splicing.

Audible Turbo Induction

A noticeably sharper induction note from both banks, with more audible spool and diverter valve action under acceleration.

Direct Bolt-On Fitment

Uses the factory mounting points and the original cold-air ducting. No cutting and no fabrication.

Performance Benefits

When paired with supporting modifications and tuning, this intake can provide:

Cooler intake air temperatures, especially under sustained load
Improved airflow and turbocharger efficiency on both banks
Sharper throttle response and faster spool
Reduced intake restriction under boost
A louder, sharper induction note
A significant lift in engine bay presentation

Performance gains may vary depending on tuning and supporting modifications.

Vehicle Fitment

Mercedes-AMG C43 (W205, 2016-2021)
Mercedes-AMG E43 (W213, 2017-2019)
Mercedes-AMG GLC43 (C253 Coupe and X253 SUV, 2016-2022)

3.0L Twin-Turbocharged M276 V6 Engine

Supplied as a complete twin kit. All three cars share the same M276 engine and airbox layout, which is why one kit covers the range.

Please Note

Professional installation is recommended.

Some increase in induction and turbo noise is normal and expected with a performance intake system.

The filters should be inspected and cleaned at regular service intervals to maintain airflow and protection.
